Never heard of it! Good find.

Would not fancy it against a late war Sherman though. Thin armour and not well sloped.

The size and number of road wheels suggest that it may have been a long as a German Panzer III. The turret seems narrow, and no crew is mentioned. 4 men, perhaps?

At 24 miles per hour, it could have been used in hull-down positions, then move to others. 75mm could stop our tanks.

Oh the gun is fine. No bout adout it.

It is the poor sons of Nippon, who will make up the crew inside this fragile box, who get my sympathy.

If only to be used hull down, in defence of the homeland, here is a good idea. Drop the hull completely…just stick the turret in that hull down static position onto a concrete base. Far cheaper. Same result is likely…..
