Post by: Unit791 on January 16, 2009, 04:56:20 PM: Type 3 Chi-Nu This would be interesting to see because there are no Japanese vehicles at all and this was a fairly well tank for the time.

Fairly well for it's time would have been true for 1940 perhaps.. but surely not for 1944.

BTW, the Chi-Nu never saw combat...

Wonder though how it would have stacked against the Sherman, which was why the Type 3 was developed to counter as a stop gap measure until the Type 4 was complete.

If we were ever to get any early war vehicles, I would like to see a IJA tank like the Type 1 Chi-He eventually get added.

But at least the Ta-152 saw action, something the Type 3 never saw.

Not true, I spawned a B-25H the other day. Though, once I noticed my mistake I quickly spawned out and got in the P-38 but the point being, I did spawn a different plane than the P-38.
