Made a small mistake saying Japan invaded Manchuria in 1933 when the conflict began in 1931, But the Battle of Rehe did take place beginning in February of 1933 and that it the crux of the point. My Bad. Special thanks to QAZ and Whatismoo for help with sources and footage.

@@LibertyPrimed The Chinese in Manchuria didn’t have tanks nor did the Chinese government or the government of the Philippines. Pretty much no one they were fighting at first had tanks besides the British, who were giving their tanks to the European theatre. There’s a lot of fighting in the 30’s that’s not technically WWII but for all intents in purposes it is.

Despite literally being outnumbered everywhere else. Little naval support, little air support, little armored support, even AT guns weren’t that abundant, though, still they were common. Take into account the fact that they were , in many situations, fighting the best of the best, the Imperial Guard, they were boned from the start. Then add into the fact that Australia had thrown many of its forces into Africa, and Britain was the industrial center for its equipment, there was no way they could’ve stood up to the very local power of Japan.

The thing is those flying bois wouldnt have stood a chance against their own anti-aircraft guns. American naval anti-aircraft fire was so dense and layered that it was basically a shield.

Hardly easily. The type of .50 cal we were using in WWII could penetrate 25mm of armor only at less than 100 meters distance, so the chances of actually pulling that off without getting shot up by the tank or the tank's supporting infantry is quite low. On top of that, .50 cal can penetrate the armor of M18 Hellcats but you don't hear anyone giving Hellcats shit about it.

Japanese tank development is indicative of Japanese military technology history: quick to adopt new technology but slow to adapt it once it's there.

The attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise military strike conducted by the Imperial Japanese Navy against the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on the morning of December 7, 1941 (December 8 in Japan). The attack led to the United States' entry into World War II. The attack was intended as a preventive action in order to keep the U.S. Pacific Fleet from interfering with military actions the Empire of Japan was planning in Southeast Asia against overseas territories of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the United States. There were simultaneous Japanese attacks on the U.S.-held Philippines and on the British Empire in Malaya, Singapore, and Hong Kong. The attack came as a profound shock to the American people and led directly to the American entry into World War II in both the Pacific and European theaters. The following day, December 8, the United States declared war on Japan. Domestic support for non-interventionism, which had been strong, disappeared. Clandestine support of Britain (e.g., the Neutrality Patrol) was replaced by active alliance. Subsequent operations by the U.S. prompted Germany and Italy to declare war on the U.S. on December 11, which was reciprocated by the U.S. the same day.

“Should they support the infantry, or be used as their own arm in a combined force?” The answer is obvious now...” Is it? I can’t help but feel like the best doctrine is entirely circumstantial. For example, fighting in flat desert vs hilly suburbs? Fighting to conquer vs liberate? Spearhead a bulge in enemy line, or drive the whole line back? It all depends on what you’re going for and working against, so there is no “best”.

I should say something that basically everyone found it useful or outright necessary to attach _some_ kind of armoured close support to their infantry, be it dedicated designs (eg. infantry tanks or assault guns) or just general-purpose line tanks seconded from their usual duties. One French general in the Great War quipped something to the effect that "there are two kinds of infantry; one has not gone into attack with tanks, and the other never wants to do so again without them" and that seems to have aged remarkably well. See also: IFVs and just putting halfway decent amount of gun and armour on basic bitch APCs.

@@NPatterson4vdma You mean economics and logistics, ie. "how many of these buggers can I actually afford to field and where do I usefully employ those I do?" Also given that the overwhelming majority of WW2 armies were still fundamentally transported by ye olde Heel-Toe Express and period tracked vehicles tended to run into serious breakdown problems if they travelled far under their own power the mobility angle tends to get somewhat excessively emphasized. Plus pretty much everybody built a crop of _fast_ tanks of some sort for the maneuver role anyway. The _actual_ problem with this kind of division-of-labour approach, which I'm pretty sure was in part influenced by industrial paradigms and the fact technological immaturity forced eg. the warplanes of the period to be rather task-specialized, was industrial-logistical - duplication of effort, more complex supply chains, diminished economies of scale and so on and so on. Which is why by the end of the war Everyone & Dog, Inc. was switching or had already switched over to "universal" all-purpose designs, made more feasible by the maturing of the technologies and hard-won practical experience of the kinds of solutions that worked. (Light and heavy tanks hung around for specialist tasks for a long time but that's not important here.)

Even assuming the Japanese designed, tested and put into production something on the M4 Sherman's level they would never have been able to produce sufficient numbers of it to match the US.

_'Always important to remember is how late Japan arrived to the industrial era.'_ Japan opened at the start of the second phase of the Industrial Revolution. For example, Japan didn't need to invent the steam engine (which took about 125 years of development to transform from something than could pump water out of a mine to be able to pull a heavy load over long distance on a grade reliably and at profitably, i.e. a steam locomotive). It was able to leapfrog into the Industrial Revolution. It purchased the day's state-of-the-art technological products, licensed or reversed-engineered them, began to innovate its own ideas, and entered the comparable phase. 'We make steam locomotives too.' Adding the triumphant and self-congratulatory 'And it didn't take us more than 100 years to do so' would be absurd though. Its rapid development was not unique in this regard. The Soviets did so. So have the Koreans and many others. Think about it. When you attended grammar school and learned to read and write, did you start with cuneiform, move to Greek, then Latin, and continue on with old English, middle English, and early modern English as the prerequisite to learn contemporary English? No. You leapfrogged all of that. You probably didn't see Beowulf and the Canterbury Tales in the classroom until you were age 11 or 12, and the purpose of that instruction was not 'Let's now learn old and middle English.' Japan was already an industrial power years before WWI, so seeing what battlefield innovations came from Europe, studying them, and then applying them to their own needs was not a stretch. And this wasn't the first time Japan did so. After the introduction of the matchlock by Portugal in the mid 16th century, Japan was soon manufacturing its own and making innovations. The Mongol invasions in the 13th century also taught Japan several things. Humans have a remarkable capacity to catch up. Quickly. We all don't need to start at year zero and plod along blazing a new trail.

@Sun-Tzu-
@Sun-Tzu- 5 лет назад
Torys Account The katana dates back to the 1300s, guns weren't in mass production for another 200 years, and guns started in China, so the Japanese knew what they were before the Europeans did. And the katana is a derivation of the tachi, a sword that goes back to the 900s. The katana wasn't a mythical cutting sword that could bifurcate an armour clad knight, but the katana is by far the most versatile sword in the world. It is curved enough to be used on horseback and straight enough to be used as a thrusting weapon, it was long enough to be used in a field but short enough to be used indoors. They could cut while drawing and can be wielded with 1 or 2 hands. the Europeans had hundreds of specialized swords for each of these purposes. And the Japanese came into contact with hundreds of cultures with thousands of different swords and they stuck with the katana design for 1150 years.

"at close range". Very rarely would you get the chance to engage a Tiger 1 at close range in Europe or Russia. The advanced optics and the KwK 88 meant that the Germans could engage targets at up to 2 kilometers away. Short range engagements with Tiger 1's only ever happened towards the very end of the war in Europe when urban combat was the norm. And even then it was rare, as the majority of Tiger 1s were shipped to the Eastern front. You would never get to "close range" to begin with. Not to mention that the Tiger 1 used face hardened armour, rather than regular RHA. Even in a point blank scenario the 47 mil wouldn't stand a chance against a Tiger, at least from the front. You can't just look at penetration values and assume that it would go through, you have to take into account armor type, realistic engagement distances, angles, ammo type, muzzle velocities etc.

I once wrote an article for a military history magazine about the Japanese Army-Navy rivalry in WWII. Its roots go back hundreds of years to the Shotgun Era in which family clans literally fought each other. As Japan modernized, the actual fighting eventually stopped. However, entire clans joined either the Army or Navy en masse, bringing with them their ancient jealousies, grudges, and outright hatred for each other. This manifested itself during the war as a lack of mutual cooperation, often to the point of absurdity.

Great Video! You are very right about Japanese tanks during the early 30's and the war, I believe they were the right tank for the wrong war. And The production of new tanks was not keeping up pace with the war for new tank designs. Anyway Keep making great Content I really enjoy it, whenever I watch these it makes my day! On Labor day weekend I am going to see a LST that saw combat in the D-Day Operation. It's too long of a drive to Indiana and back for the weekend and plus it came too late in my planning. What I'm basically saying I can't go.

Too many people are under the assumption that the later and stop-gap tanks would have changed anything. Even if Japan had an entire fleet of Panzer IVs or M4s it would not have changed much, and in most cases these vehicles were not suited for Japanese doctrine or the theater. Japanese tanks performed exceptionally well in all instances except battles with Russia. Reports from Manchukuo and the Wang Jingwei regime show this. Something to understand is that Japan did not intend for the war to continue as long as it did. "European" style tanks were not needed until a land invasion from Russia became more apparent. There was no intention to fight America in the way it had turned out. They had more reason to spend resources on the potent Japanese field guns from a defensive stand point than to spend resources designing and producing what would be niche tanks to Japan's theater. You can see this in reports for late vehicles such as the Ho-Ri's life cycle where the sloped design was cancelled early as it was too strenuous for Japanese production. Japanese tanks did not fail in their roles.

Youre talking about King Ghidorah. The right head (dragon 2 in dominance/power but dragon 1 in the way read), is the very aggressive, focused one. Dragon 2 (opposite of dragon 1, 2nd resd but strongest and most dominant) is the leader of the all. Both 1&2 (or 2&1) are very powerful but then it comes to 3 (3 in all ways), he is very goofy, easily distracted. While every trait may not apply to the tanks exactly, but generally, they apply to them in the sense that the first 2 are formidable while the other, or the last one is somewhat of a joke.

Potential History thank you for this very informative and insightful video. you get a new subscriber. France faced the same problem. Leader in the tank design in the first times (the PT17 was French and defined the general configuration for all the panzers), France usage was sparse tanks to protect infantry, while german had panzer divisions with the aid of the slow but very precise dive bombers. No wonder why the second army was beaten by the first army in spring 1940.

Type 95 Ha-Go - US contemporary = M2 Light. Type 97 Chi-Ha - US contemporary = M2 Medium. Type 97 Chi-Ha Kai - US contemporary = M3 Medium. I'll leave it to you to decide which tank was better in each of these 3 match-ups. Unfortunately for the Japanese, by 1944, the US had replaced its obsolete tank models - and the Japanese had not.
