It never saw combat.  The few dozen they built were all retained for the defense of the home islands.

Although he is wrong, the end result is true. Japanese tanks would stand little to no chance in AH's GV world from what I've seen of there specs.

Wouldn't mind a type 97 but they'd be killed by anything bigger than a .303...

A6Ms and Ki-43s had exactly the same amount of armor that the Spitfire Mk I, Hurricane Mk I and Bf109 had in 1939, none.

The Ki-84 and N1K2 have pretty much the same level of protection as the Spitfire Mk XVI and P-51D.

The H8K2 had a fully protected fuel system and armor for each crew position.


The reasons for the lack of armor on many Japanese aircraft are many, but not caring about what happened to the pilots isn't one of them.

As almost always, I see most people are only thinking LWA . . .

Personally I'd love to see some early war tanks (not the Chi-To, the other Japanese tanks).  It might actually make me want to go to the early war arena.  It would also allow the T-34/76 its rightful status as a perked early war tank.

But it will likely never happen.   :(

That's why they crashed into US ships for the sole purpose of dying for the emperor, correct?
