When the Japanese tried to buy a German Tiger E - Heavy Tank No.6 

Can you imagine an American tanker going to Asia, only to find out that his M4 is once again facing a Tiger? That would be like: "oh shit, not again..."

Do the sta-1!!!!

This whole idea never made much sense to me. Japanese heavy industry wasn’t geared to tank production and wasn’t really in a state to start it up in meaningful numbers later in the war, particularly after the bombing campaign started up and their commercial shipping was pretty much stopped by the submarine campaign. Speaking of shipping the difficulty of shipping tanks around was one of the reasons they only produced light tanks for much of the war and their ability to ship heavy Tiger tanks would have been limited at the best of times. And if they were getting the thing to fight the Soviets it makes even less sense as the Germans were steadily losing ground to them and they had numbers of Tigers already. I really don’t get how getting a big and expensive to produce vehicle would have helped them at all as they couldn’t produce the thing in remotely the numbers required. Getting hold of cheaper, easier to produce, and still very effective StuG IIIs would have been a much better idea.

Thinking about it, back then the Japanese suffered heavily in their tank technology and lacked enough proper materials. I heard stories about some japanese tanks being made of poor quality construction steal.

Great vid!

Could you talk on the Polish Leopard 2PL and if its a viable upgrade to keep the 2A4 up to date and combat worthy?
