(Removed mention of STT as it was never referred to as this and the real STT was a different project, Removed mention of TUSK as the Type 74 never used this Removed mention of schurzen as it is this Added more information to "Type 74" to fill it out.) Tag: Visual edit |
(→Trivia: "Hull down"just means the tank is concealed below the line of the turret, it has nothing to do with leaning the tank forward and tanks with any form of suspension can fight from a hull-down position.) Tag: Visual edit |

The Mitsubishi Type-74, also known as the nana-yon was the main battle tank of the Japan Self-Defense Forces starting in 1975, but was supplanted by the more modern Mitsubishi Type 90 in 1990 and the Type 10 in 2012. While outdated by modern standards, the tank is still in reserve service and is the primary tank sent the Special Region, where it proves devastating against the primitive armies of the Empire during the Second Battle of Alnus Hill.
Several type 74 MBT are used by the JSDF 1st Combat unit in the ground battle in Marais.
