Real Japanese Tank Thread

[fbWldcat]

First off, any hijacking with the term "M-18" and I shall smite thee. (BAR321 that includes YOU ). Any other tank (so long as it is Japanese, should be fine).

Type 1 "Chi-He." Japanese medium tank which saw action in the late war.

Type 97 "Te-Ke" Tankette (Aside from less armor, not much is different from the M8 which we already have. It was a quick, light hitting tank).

A long shot, I know, but I could go out tank busting with this zippy little guy 

Heck, that's all for now, but I'll leave you with this wonderful site.

You people really can't quit posting about the M-18, can you? It is funny when 321BAR does it, stop.

Correction, it WAS funny when he first started doing it. Now it seems impossible for him to create a well-structured, postive contribution
to a wishlist thread.

As for the OP, I don't think we need any Japanese tanks. I think they would have been feared more to infantry (if they were ever
encountered) than by other tankers. This game doesn't have infantry, and probably won't for a very, very long time. I think we'd
be better off with other tanks first.

My .02 of a penny's worth.

It will when someone comes along with a BB gun and a zippo and lights that tin can up.
