@blackpanther5086 Because the turret traverses counter to hull rotation on a single tread turn, maintaining target roughly in sights while falling in line with the rest of the reinforcing column. If that doesn't get your blood pumping, you do not understand the exquisite art of sensha-dō. It's even done imperfectly to show that it was animated deliberately that way. In the imperfection is the greatest beauty. It shows the loving care for the art by the animators, and it subtly shows that these are high school girls driving WW2 tanks, not masters of the sport who are driving some high tech ultra-stabilized modern tank that can fire accurately on the move.
They were definitely the masterpieces of the era. Although the Americans could develop more powerful tanks like the M26 Pershing and the Japanese could develop more powerful warbirds like the Ki-84, the M4 medium tank, also known as the Sherman, and the A6M, also known as the Type Zero, played an important role throughout the war. I think that’s why they are really loved by us, just like the veterans are venerated for their service.
Thanks for your service/knowledge/reply! I'm confused why we didn't use the F4U Corsair more and instead relied on Wildcats then the OPpressive Hellcats in the Pacific Theatre. Plus, Japan had the freekill Aichi B7A "Ryusei" (Grace).
@@scguo The B7A Ryusei, though designed as an attack aircraft rather than a fighter, could have been one of the game-changing successors of the Zeroes. However unfortunately, the debut of this excellent plane was too late and the required technology was beyond the capacity of Japanese industry to produce well 😢 I like both the B7A Ryusei and the F4U Corsair, both of which have inverted gull-wings.
