The Japanese tanks were small, low powered, poorly armored, with small guns. They were built to be infantry support tanks not battle tanks. The Chinese had little or no armor so the Sherman was the first tank the Japanese fought against. As other commentors have said, the Japanese tanks were to the Sherman what the Sherman was to the Tiger, burning scrap metal.

Most of the US tank loses at Tarrawa were due to artillery not Japanese tanks.

@Kneb587 It really did. The American nickname for it was "smoky" if i can remember from a book

@macnutz This tank is small because it is a light tank. Check out the japanese heavy tank

@Bander1 well actually Zhukov has came to 'command' when the battle was over. If he was the commander, there would have been such slaughter of Soviet forces, as it was at Battle for Berlin, when he sent tank divisions into urban warfare saying to his inferior commanders "Do not fear, not be cowards, we gonna tell about the fear only to our grandchildren"...
