Love Asian women, but for the tanks I would scream in horror. I mean just everything is outclassed even from the start of the war, they operated quite well in China and Singapore while neither had any anti tank gun pieces period.

Like the pictures! (correct me if I am wrong) but didnt the jap tanks had almost no armor and very small guns? I thought they were only used as infantry support most of the time never in a tank battle.

The Type 97 Shinhoto "Chi-Ha" would be akin to having an M8 with 23mph speed.  The M4 Sherman could shrug off the Japanese 47mm AP at ranges outside of 500 yards.  Think about that.  The HE shell of the same 47mm would be slightly better than the M8's 37mm HE, but we're talking splitting hairs.

If AH is in need of a "perk farmer", then perhaps an early war German or British tank with feasible EW/MW performance (Pzr Mk III, Valentine, Crusader, StuG III, etc).  The Type 97 in either variant was cannon fodder from the very beginning.  Just sayin'.  :)

Think of them as very, very, very slow M8's.  :lol

Most those girls looked like they where wearing something out of lady ga ga's closet. Leaves me less  :x and more  :headscratch:
The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.
