Every Japanese Tank Used in WWII | Complete Combat Vehicle Guide

From crude tankettes to the legendary 150-ton O-I super-heavy, Japanese armor evolved through industrial constraints and battlefield innovation. When war began, light tanks dominated Asian battlefields but proved inadequate against Western armor. Desperation drove unique solutions like amphibious tanks that swam ashore and prototypes that rivaled German heavies, yet resource shortages doomed even the best designs.

This complete documentary covers every major Japanese tank and combat vehicle used in World War II. Discover the evolution from the Type 92 tankette through the iconic Type 95 Ha-Go and Type 97 Chi-Ha to advanced prototypes like the Chi-To and mysterious O-I super-heavy. Learn about unique amphibious tanks, desperate late-war improvisation, and why Japan built only 6,500 tanks total while America produced 49,000 Shermans. 27 vehicles, 11 minutes of comprehensive Pacific War armor history.
