V.

Many thanks V!

Oops

But really, that's the only one i know and just learned that today

looks so cool , even with its origami armor x3

Thanks a lot!

your welcome x3

Could only dominate the battlefield when there was no opposing armor IIRC. Allies referred to them as toy tanks.

I bet he is very proud of his tank. Up until he meets an M4 or T34.

Better than an FT-17, but that's about all the good thing to say about them.

The artwork otoh...VERY, VERY nice. Must fave it :9

Thanks!
Japanese always takes pride in everything they've got

I cant wait to go there again. It already has been over 5 months since the Last time.

That cat is adorable ^.^

Thanks so much!

Wonderful stuff.

Thanks!

Both tanks are more or less in par with eachother, but M3 has slight increase in armour protection. both were well suite for their role of jungle and amphibious warfare

awesome awesome awesome! :D

Thanks!

Oh, absolutely awesome! You make my heart flutter - tiny tanks for the win!

Thank you!

Thanks B, that would be the ETO and postwar NATO military aircraft

Pick any of the Mirage family, but especially M2000C
But I have none of such character

Hmm, something without wings for a change. Interesting.

Why thank you!

This is something new, and very cute!

The literal reading of that name is great - 'Nine Five Type Light Battle Car'. ^__^

Thanks for sharing!

I love this so much. so well done, omg

There was a recorded incident in Saipan , where a single M4 Sherman KO'd 4 type 95s with a single shot. Seems the 95s were heading down a road in single file when a Sherman opened up at the lead tank from 300-400 yards. The round ripped right through the turret of the lead tank, slammed into the second in line, punching through its armor, exited out the back of the second, into the third, exiting that tank and ricocheted off the ground and keyholed into the rear tank, smashing off the turret in an explosion. Needless to say the Sherman crew was rather impressed!

I also talked to a Tanker who served in both Europe and in the Pacific campaigns , He said "In Europe we were the Spam in a can against the Tigers, in the Pacific, WE were the Tiger tanks!"

Hell, a M-16 Quad .50 halftrack shattered a type 95 in the Philippines in a hail of gunfire. at a range of less than 200 feet.

Perhaps Shermans were uncontested against Japanese armours, but the jungle terrain of the Pacific islands makes Japanese infantry a much more dangerous threat to American tanks. Especially towards the end of the war (Iwo Jima and Okinawa) when the Japanese were getting increasingly desperate, a bunch of infantrymen with explosive could overwhelm an unprepared tanks.

That's why you see many Pacific Shermans fitted with improvised armours, from wooden planks to deter magnetic mines, steel plates, sand bags, chicken wires, hatches covered in nails to prevent infantry climbing into hatches and drop some grenades, even some tanks had their exterior rigged with AP mines "backscratchers"

Yeah, I recall watching video years ago of M4s and M5 Stuarts 'back scratching' each other with .30 cal co-axe free of determined Japanese.

During the Vietnam war, I know a few M-48 crews would attach claymores to various positions on the tank to sweep the decks free of Victor Charles who was pulling the same stunt.
