Thanks to Vollketten for this one! A wartime video, showing the American soldiers examining the Japanese tanks and its weaknesses.
There is still the myth going on about the Japanese tanks being completely terrible – the truth is however, even this very light tank (a tankette in fact) was completely sufficient against the opponents it was intended to fight, the Chinese, who had practically no armor of their own and lacked anti-tank capabilities.
Go Stuart, Go!
dat race :D
dat gun depression!
‘Our tank is 10% faster’… on a flat surface, without mud and trees and shit to block it’s way. It’s hilarious when they say, oh jam this here and it’ll stop the turret… cause we can totally find time to jam shit there when we’re getting shot at. Propaganda is always funny.
japanese size
The Type 95 was designed as a light tank, not a tankette, you’re thinking of the Type 97 Te-Ke :)
Wow…no wonder the Japanese tanks have such epic gun depression…that was pretty impressive to see in period footage. Shows how vulnerable those little monsters are too (idler wheel can be knocked out by a rifle bullet!)…but they’re still fun to play in the game!
Ooooooh, y u lying? Bad SS, Chinese had whole tree! Forest even, home grown weapons best weapons.
