So the Japanese approach to combat engineering vehicles was essentially the same principle as the German approach to bomber aircraft: design one machine, and retrofit it to do all kinds of things it was never designed to do (point and case regarding German aircraft: the Ju-88). The only difference: the Japanese designed these things from the BEGINNING for extreme multitasking…

One has to wonder what kind of hell the designers went through trying to meet each specification to a satisfactory degree.

Yes, mass vaccination is unventional.

Its mostly because of the unqualified attempting/failing at translation because they don’t think in the language naturally that they are attempting to translate to.

unventional is not a word btw.

Btw, initially I thought it's one idea of giving Katana or some other melee weaponry to tanks, turned out it isn't that crazy (but still very interesting)

I would shit my pants if I saw that thing coming at me. More so than if I saw a Tiger.

No. It’s translated correctly.

You have to remember that this was the time when for example DDT was still spread by spraying it into the air. It was used in concentration camps too.

I suddenly know where a certain miniature tabletop war game got its inspiration for the space orcs from.

- digging trenches
- mineclearing
- cutting through barbed wire
- mass vaccination
- spreading poisonous gas
- being used as a crane vehicle (ARV)
- being used as a flamethrower tank
- beign capable of laying down temporary bridges

My interest in the tank got bigger with each line :D
