...Skuzzy, can you give me an estimate of when (if we even will, and if not, then tell us why we won't) we will get the AP rounds for the B25H?

When can we expect to see AP rounds for the B25H? I think we'd all be willing to have them perked if you say never, and I mean perked high. Please HTC, maybe as a chrismas present?

Odd isnt it... that a nation which tried to control an area that was primarily islands, didnt have the right tools to do the job.  Dont get me wrong, they did just fine without them... but if they had the types of landing and amphibious craft the allies had it would have made their job much easier.



Their doctrine I think had a large part to play in that.  IJA's tank doctrine was to use tanks in support of infantry and rarely operated in independent actions.  After their defeat by the Soviets at Nomonhan, the Japanese started to rethink their design and tank doctrine but still within the role as infantry support.  Then as the war started, Japan shifted production to warships and aircraft and tank design and production was put in the back seat.  Then there was the issue of suitable 'tank fighting terrain', which was rather limited or non-existant in the Pacific and Southeast Asia.  I think the only large scale use of tanks by the Japanese occured with the Invasion of Malasya and in China, this also caused new tank designs and production not to be given a high priority.

Oh, about last week. Why?


And Hitech, something I've always wondered is why you put a ":" after peoples names as if your quoting them, or its their line in a script?



And thanks AKP, this will help fill the jap set.
