I'm curious how effective these would be against western armor. I'm thinking all but the lightest would smash through it. What are your thoughts?

Looks like very ineffective for any western tank… (AKA Sherman)… but maybe it works for the tiny Japanese tanks or Armoured Vehicles…

True it looks ineffective but if it causes a delay at all & there are anti tank elements about it may do some good. Just speculating.

Strikes me they might have been more use reversed. Could just cause a tank to ride up and expose its vulnerable underside, but the only photos I can find show the modelling is correct

Good point…
