In the 1942 Philippine Campaign, Japanese Ha-Go's were able beat American armored forces equipped with the M3 Stuart. After the campaign the Americans concluded that despite having better tanks than the Japanese, the Japanese simply had more combat experience and training at that point. So more often the Japanese were more prepared and were able to fire the first shots against the American tanks to conclude the battles in their victory.

@@casioak1683 Chi Ha was classified as a medium tank, and the Ha Go was put into service some nine years before the M3 so y'know, one is clearly newer and should be constructed better which it was. As for the Chi Ha fun fact any Japanese tank with the first part of the name being Chi was a medium tank, with the exception of the I Go Ko which was technically a medium tank by their standards but was made before the naming scheme

The Stuarts made good account of themselves against the IJA during the defense of the Philippines but lack of ammunition, fuel, and spare parts meant that American forces weren’t able to utilize their armor to full effect. Also, the close confines of Jungle warfare meant that the Stuart’s advantages in armor and gun are largely negated since tank duels are largely fought at close ranges.

Nice little video about a overlooked vehicle! These Japanese tanks often are kind of illusive at best when it comes to getting detailed information about them. In the Chi-Nu´s case, the improved models Chi-Nu Kai and Chi-Nu II with a new 7,5cm gun might be worth mentioning. An interesting topic would also be the development of the Type 4 Chi To and Type 5 Chi Ri with it´s roots reaching back to the time of the first creation of the Chi-Nu. However, really detailed information seems to be hard to come by, sadly. Anyway I really like your voiced articles as an addition to your website. Keep up the great work!

@@rubberwoody Yep, youre right with the Chi-To, I got my information on development dates in the wrong year. I always had in mind April ´43 as start of the Chi-To development, but it in fact is April ´42 (quoting the Sensha-Manual blog here). CNK indeed seems to be a testbed vehicle, while the Chi-Nu II was a stopgap measure to get Type 5 AT guns fielded as quickly as possible in ´45. Apparantly it was destined for Chi Nu´s from No. 211 on to be built with the new gun until better tanks would replace them in production. As I said, information sometimes is a little scarce on these.

It’s a sad thing that the Imperial Japanese Army and Imperial Japanese Navy were always at odds with each other. But as a result, the Army always fell behind. And even if the IJA wanted to transport these vehicles to the front, the massive surveillance and absolutely unrelenting patrols of American submarines in the vicinity of the Japanese shipping lanes and mainland islands would not permit such a transit without a fight. . . . . Neither would the United States or Commonwealth aerial forces. A sad ending that was only compounded by the inexhaustible quarrels of internal Imperial Japanese military politics.

Does anybody know why the Type 3 has no internal turret machine gun (either coaxial or rear)? Pretty much all Japanese tanks have something, including the previous and follow on medium tanks to the Type 3 (the Type 97Kai and Type 4). I always assumed it may have had to do with the gun mounting, although the Type 3's turret is not small, and their appears to be space by the pistol port left of the gun or in the rear. Maybe they thought the bow MG and external turret mounted would suffice?

To be fully honest I'd say the last Samurai would have been the Type 4 Chi-To's. That long 75mm type II cannon would have been a proper equal fair fight. Oh and the Chi-Nu never saw combat, neither did the Chi-Ri's, To's, Ho-Ri's(mockup at this current point only the gun was tested so far). There is reports that the Ho-Nu I, II, and III(in very very very small numbers) did see service. At Iwo-Jima.

The 4th Tank division was not stationed in Kyushu. They were stationed in Chiba near the capital. The error comes from the Japanese tank magazine, issue 12 I believe, where they mix similar photos of gathered disarmed tanks, one coming from the 4th tank division and the other from Kyushu. (Which I believe belongs to the 4th independent tank brigade, I've been combing over a lot of pieces and I'm making an article about it so I'll save the details for now.) The two photos look very similar and I don't blame anyone who believed them to be the same, I did too but you can tell they are different vis background and also tank placement and camo patterns. Also small nitpicks it's not the Type-3 Anti tank gun, it's the Type-3 tank gun, the gun was made specifically for tank use. It's like the type-1 47mm tank gun. If you say type-1 47mm Anti tank gun, its the one with wheels, but the type-1 tank gun is the one that is the main armament for the Chi-Ha Kai.

I don't think it gets that much hate so much as just not that much love. It was the uglier and inferior older brother of M4 Sherman and only had a brief time to shine before being replaced by a vehicle that did everything M3 Lee did well but did it better, so it was easy to forget what the users liked about it while it was the only option. In the tank games like World of Tanks and Warthunder, it is not a great vehicle because of how the games work, which misleads people as to the tank's historical capabilities. Either way, M3 is not a bad tank for 1942, but definitely not a great tank either, and we can thank our lucky stars that M4 was ready by 1943 to spare the US and British Armies needing to finish the war with M3 as a mainstay.

@@weaponizedautism6589 M3 performed well in Anglo-American service in 1942. It was not excellent, but it had a gun that could meet or beat the typical German weapon, armor that could just about keep out the average German weapon at the combat ranges they were fighting at, and it ran very reliably, ensuring most of them were functional most of the time unlike many other tanks of the era. These are not trivial concerns. Yes, the mounting for the 75mm was not optimal, but it was able to get that good gun to the fight and Germans and Brits alike definitely respected M3's capabilities at the time. We also have to observe that the Red Army's opinions were complicated. The same reports saying it was a deathtrap due to inadequate armor also praised its firepower and reliability, and it is thought by some, such as Steve Zaloga and other historians, that the Soviets would regularly exaggerate "problems" to encourage the Allies to rush more equipment in general. The Soviets were not stupid and were happy to claim they were on the verge of defeat if they didn't get X tons of this or Y tons of that every convoy because it seemed to work to get more good stuff for them sooner. So as I said, M3 was not a great tank, but it had its virtues that deserve recognition. I would rather be in M3 Medium than T34 or any of the British tanks of the time.

I sometimes wonder about the tactics the Japanese used. It seems to me that they really didn't have ANY tactics except, either ambush and bunkers on defense or human wave on offence. Other than that they just relied on superior numbers when you look at most of the early war battles. I can only think that malaya was the only time when they used a lot of well planned infantry tactics. They really didn't have a whole lot of manpower to toss away but they did it because come up with any better options. This is all on the Japanese generals.

Unlike Germany and Italy, Japanese tactics mainly focus on alot of amphibious operations, mainly quick decisive naval engagements. You have to consider what the Japanese had to face which is dense jungles and far flung islands. Their goal in winning the war was to inflict allot of damage so that their enemies can sue for peace. Of course that didn't work all that well in hindsight but that was a viable tactic they had as the only choice.

Basically, this tank would have made sense in 1940. By 1943, it was a complete joke and could only be used in places where reconnaissance had already confirmed the complete absence of enemy armored vehicles.

Sherman had gun stabilizer better optics and better TC vision. Other then ambush I think the Sherman would get first shot and that would end the Japanese tank. T34/85 would do ok but USSR would have a bunch of heavies with them that would give the Japanese tank a real problem

@@FairladyS130 there were tons of versions But think about what you mean by quick. The chi-nu is a "quick upgrade" of a tank from 1937.

​@@FairladyS130 Your completely wrong. There were at least 4 engine variations, 5 if you include the diesel. Hull changes. 2 main gun changes. Just because YOU look at an M4 of any variation and go "Sherman" because you don't know all the changes doesn't mean there were none. And the Sherman was more then a match for Japanese tanks used in combat so why change it anyway?
