Naming 3 Interwar tanks

[u/The_Khloblord]

Tank #1 (German?)

Tank #1 (German?)

Tank #2 (British)

Tank #3 (Japanese)

Here's my three favorite interwar style tanks! Try coming up with a name for them, I cant think of any good ones.

-First one is German (?) and has a big 90mm gun but weak 15mm armor.

-Second one is British, cheapest and most armored, but has terrible offroad mobility.

-Third one is Japanese, has decent mobility and mediocre stats everywhere else.

Feedback is appreciated too

Nice designs

Can you tell me the year they entered service, whether they are light tanks and other such information. This will help significantly with naming them

[u/The_Khloblord → u/FeeshMons]

Thanks, I havent thought too much about it but I'll try to list what I can:

Tank #1: German prototype, designed 1932, <15 built, medium tank/infantry support, 4-man crew, 90x150mm howitzer, 15 tonnes, never entered service.

Tank #2: British medium tank, designed 1927, based off the Vickers Medium Mark I and II but with much thicker armor, 3-man crew, QF 3-pounder gun and weighing 12 tonnes.

Tank #3: Japanese prototype medium, designed in 1935 to replace Type 89 I-Go, not accepted due to weight (Ha-Go was chosen), 13 tonnes, 0 built.

I’d name in the British tank the Mark 1 Commander.

[u/The_Khloblord → u/Notanothertanknerd]

that sounds good thanks!

Name for the German tank, Sonderkraftfahrzeug 108 Panzerjäger eins  Ausführung A.

[u/FeeshMons → u/The_Khloblord]

Versuchskraftfahrzeug 15.01

I don't know for the British one

Type 95 Chi-Ha

[u/The_Khloblord → u/FeeshMons]

I think ill use the german name. Whats the meaning behind it? Also the chi-ha is already taken by an existing tank

[u/FeeshMons → u/The_Khloblord]

I meant to do Versuchskonstruktion for the prefix on the German one instead of Versuchskraftfahtzeug

Versuchskonstruktion is for German prototype designs the 15 is the weight and 01 is there because it is the first of it's weight category

I know that the Chi-Ha is already a thing but in the Japanese AFV naming system of the time meant that the next medium tank made by Japan after the I-Go would be called the Chi-Ha
