Combat record
Clarification may be needed on the Type 1's possible combat record. Mentioned is the 2nd Division, the link to which indicates that the unit was in Burma in 1944, not the Philippines. If it was actually the 2nd Armored Division, one still has to account for the fact that it was on Luzon, not Leyte, though part of the division may have been sent to reinforce Leyte. I don't have the Zaloga book, so could someone who does try to clarify the situation?172.190.17.171 (talk) 05:47, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
It is correct that the Chi He was deployed on the Philippines, and the sources do indeed talk about Luzon. So the claim on Wiki that the tank only was deployed on the home islands is incorrect. There's at least two images with Australian troopers with captured tanks of this model, and either or both might indeed be from Burma. But I got no information on that part of the question asked above. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.208.185.94 (talk) 19:20, 8 March 2021 (UTC)
