The O-I (O stands for "big", I stands for 1) was a planned super-heavy tank of the Japanese Empire during World War II. It was to be a multi-turret tank with a 360° rotating main turret carrying either a Type 96 15cm howitzer or a Type 92 10cm cannon, two forward-firing smaller turrets each with Type 1 47mm anti-tank guns, and a rear-firing machine gun turret with two Type 97 7.7mm machine guns. Frontal armor should be 75mm, reinforced by another 75mm of armor plate. Its dimensions: 10 meters long, 4 meters high and 4.2 meters wide. A crew of 11 would have been needed to operate it. With two 550 hp engines he would have reached a speed of 25 km/h. The uncompleted prototype was tested in 1943, but as the suspension was damaged the project was abandoned and the prototype scrapped. Today only 1 track link of this monster is left, which is said to be in Camp Takigahara.
