^Sniped.

But yes, Internal Combustion Engine is the literal translation of the original Japanese name. Sadly, it is hardly descriptive of the tank. The most common designation for a landing craft is LC, with further letters added to distinguish it from a clance, such as a LCA (Landing Craft, Attack). Translating literally serves little to help the layman.

So far most of the community has been quite comfortable with calling it the Ka-Mi tank, such as myself, and I would endorse this variant over everything else.
