The Type 109 was the Imperial Japanese Army’s attempt to field a true super-heavy tank in the middle of the Pacific War. Development began in 1943 as a replacement for the ageing Type 0-3 Shinji, with the goal of producing a vehicle that could decisively outmatch the increasingly powerful American heavy armour. The resulting tank, introduced in 1945, was equipped with a massive gun, new ammo types and with angled frontal glacis, thick interlocked armour plates, and a massive silhouette. At 87 tons, it was the heaviest Japanese tank ever fielded up to that point. Armour thickness reached over 180 mm on the front hull and turret face, rendering it almost impervious to standard Allied tank guns of the time.

The Type 109 mounted the formidable 100mm Type 8 naval gun, adapted for land use. The weapon delivered excellent armour penetration but required careful handling, with a single loader wokring overtime to feed the heavy single-part shells. Secondary armament consisted of two 7mm machine guns, one hull-mounted and one coaxial. Some vehicles were also fitted with early-generation infrared night-vision scopes, though their reliability in the field was questionable. Mobility was its greatest weakness: powered by an overtaxed V-12 engine, the tank struggled to exceed 25 kph, and its gearbox suffered frequent breakdowns when the vehicle was forced into long marches.



By the time roughly 100 examples were completed, the Army realised the design had little strategic value. Its sheer weight limited mobility on Japanese infrastructure, fuel consumption was catastrophic, and the vehicle arrived too late to change the course of the war. As a result, the Type 109 was passed on to the fanatical Ecclesian Church, whose zealotry ensured the tanks were always fought to destruction. Their Type 109s were decorated with crosses, Chi-Rho symbols, fish motifs, and anchor engravings, turning the machines into rolling shrines of devotion. Rarely were they abandoned intact; most were destroyed either in combat or by the hands of their own crews.

By 1949, as the U.S. invasion reached the Japanese homeland, the last remaining Type 109s were thrown into desperate defensive actions. The final five famously made their stand before the Emperor’s Palace in Tokyo in early january 1950, firing until destruction. None survived the war intact, though eight wrecks were later recovered in a state fit for partial study. The Type 109 remains a symbol of both Japan’s extreme late-war designs and the fanatical devotion of those who crewed them.

- Oil Pressure might not display anything, will fix eventually
- Night vision is really basic and terrible (its literally from ww2, its not gonna be good)
- Transmission is fully manual, use Clutch while shifting Gears

The Pacific Front is a Alternate History Project about the time from 1940s through to the 70s in a time of turmoil, war and desperation. It focuses on the countries around the pacific ocean, like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Russia, China and a lot more. All the the project vehicles are fictional in nature and have their own story, lore and design. The Projects creations have a tendency for high fidelity, decoration and multi crew operation.

In case it wasnt clear this is a Tiger 2/ King Tiger Heavy Tank
