Well I guess they really didn't spend to many resources on tank developement, which makes sense since in the Pacific theater they were dealing more with water than land.
Worse, Baby!!! There you are, feeling all superior and shit in your Japanese Type 95 light tank, you've got a full belly of rice and fish and you got a 37mm round in the oven because, well, you're bad-ass and looking for bear. Then you see this nice JS III coming at ya!!! That's RIGHT, SLICK!!! Your 37mm gun up against a 122mm gun and your mighty 12mm armour against the soviet's 200mm!!! It happened, it was called battle of Manchuria 1945 and yes, it was a tad one sided!!!
It was considered one of the best light tanks in the world....when it was first built. By WW2 is was hopelessly obsolete against any army that had even the slightest bit of anti-tank weaponry.
Just look at all those weak points. Thin, flat armor and plenty of rivets. LOL on the turret weakness. I never knew it even had that despite all the tank books I have read. Amazing video.
@SpenzOT look at the thickness of the armor. it is 12mm over the front and sides. You can penetrate it with .30-06 fire or any sort of antitank weapon (.50BMG would easily slice through it)
That's really quite cool. Great and simple vid that gives a lot of useful information on abilities and weak points. Probably did a lot of good in the days of the war. Might also be useful to us gamers! haha.

It looks roughly equal to the Panzer 1, French H35 or some of the Italian tanks.
