A specialized tank destroyer variant without a rotating turret of the Type 5 Chi-Ri tank. It has the resemblence of the Jagdpanzer VI Jagdtiger but scaled down slightly and an additional 37mm gun in hull. While the armour isn't anything special the gun is quite powerful. The fact that the crew is fully enclosed unlike other heavily armed japanese vehicles like the Type 97 Chi-Ha Naval 12 cm SPG is an advantage.
The Type 5 line of tanks were the result of information gathered by the japanese from the european eastern front. Which proved the need of heavier tanks. The Type 5 tanks, as many other tanks were reserved for the defense of the japanese main islands.
This version in FHSW is the Ho-Ri II, while the first Ho-Ri prototype took inspiration from the Ferdinand/Elephant, the Ho-Ri II design had the engine moved to the rear and gun superstructure in the center of the vehicle instead of it being in the back, thus resembling the Jagdtiger, it also sports a similarly sized gun albeit smaller.
It is available on custom maps such as Kanto Plain and Deccan Plateau.
