"We're hoping to include Germans, Soviets, Poles,Finns, Hungarians, Romanians, Italians, and Partisans." That was Charles in the latest interview. No mention of Japanese.

The Commissar Posted April 25, 2001 Share Posted April 25, 2001 Damn shame, too. I'd love to see what a massed T-34 attack would do to one of those tin-foil box on tracks the Japs had throughout the war. Im not even sure if they had tanks involved in the fighting against the USSR at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarze Posted April 25, 2001 Author Share Posted April 25, 2001 Yes they did have tanks fighting Soviet tanks but didnt really stand up to those brutal T-34's the Jap tanks i knew that were in China,Manchuria,and North-Korea were Type 97 Tankette "Te-Ke" and the Type 98 Light Tank "Ke-Ni" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhammer Posted April 25, 2001 Share Posted April 25, 2001 Read up on the Nahomman Incident in 1939. The up to then invincible Japanese Army was crushed by a determined, well equiped and well led modern Soviet Force. This battle, routinely ignored by the west, had several important implications that affected WW2. 1. The Japanese were convinced they could not fight Russia and survive, much less win. Thus, the conquest of Manchuria was the end of the push north and west. SE Asia and Oceania was the only avenue to expansion to them. 2. Basic Soviet doctrine was inherently proved correct in this battle. Zhukov proved his points there, and built upon them to defeat the Germans. 3. The crushing defeat of the Japanese forces allowed the non-agression pact with Japan backed up by Japanese fear. This allowed both the USSR and Japan to essentially ignore their back doors while fighting their real wars; Soviet Expansion into Central Europe (with a German invasion thrown in to screw everything up) and Japanese expansion into SE Asia and the Pacific. CM in the Pacific would be bit boring, I have to admit. The Japanese Army was poorly equipped, and its doctines were Medieval. And both of its real enemies were technological and industrial giants. In the Pacific, the Stuart Tank was the Panther, and the Sherman was the King Tiger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pacific fighting would simply be more focused on infantry fighting where tanks take a back seat. People who love huge tank battles would probably be bored to tears. People who love infantry combat would find the fighting in the Pacific and CBI to be an excellent diversion from your endless parade of Panthers and Tigers vs (fill in the blank) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
