Type 3 tank: Systemic inconsistency bugs me!

Type 3 tank: Systemic inconsistency bugs me!
Systemic inconsistency means rework. 

Waltzing Matilda introduced the Type 3.

Okay, AT value seems a little off for a 75L38 gun, but not so bad.

Then comes Armor of Saipan. Type 1, Type 4, and a new Type 3.

A little awkward, but fortunately Japan had two Type 3 designs, the Chi-Nu and Chi-Nu Kai. So make the new Type 3 the Chi-Nu Kai, and put the new tanks in the Axis Specials extension. Not a very elegant solution, but there are only 2 scenarios to consider, so it works.

Now there is Pacific Armor and  Mindanao 1945. Type 1, Type 4, and Type 3 is now standardized?

All the Japanese armor in Axis Specials need to migrate to OOB Japanese Army 1944-45. Chi-Nu now needs 2 versions, as does the So-Da, and perhaps the Ho-Ni.

That leaves 1 half-weird question. What about the Type 3 Chi-Nu Kai (which was never actually produced)? Maybe this in the Axis Specials?
   
Looks like something that might work with the autogyro...

Okay, rant is finished.

It wouldn't be APL if it was consistent and unmuddled.
