Anyway, the water pressure + the weight of the hatch means opening it is near impossible but eh, as I mention, it's the signifcance that counts.

They were losing hold on Manchuria due to consistent Chinese guerrilla raids and forced to live off the land, which provided little in terms of substance. Its not just the good weapons being transferred back to home defense, but they had not even the weapons capable of withstanding the battle-hardened Red Army in the first place anyway. In the South Pacific, the Japanese never seen the kind of armored warfare demonstrated in Europe due to the terrain, which allowed the Japanese to holdout against American attacks for as long as they did. Even so, the Japanese army had little to no direct answer to American armor. Manchuria on the other hand, was open plains. Just imagine the shock and awe of Japanese troops when they witnessed a legion of T-34s, KVs and even IS tanks pouring in. If the Japanese had difficulties dealing with Shermans in South Pacific, what answers do they have dealing with Soviet armor? The situation was so dire that Japanese troops basically were forced to wrap bombs, roll under Soviet tanks and ignite. Soviet Tank Crew A: What was that? *feeling the bump* Soviet Tank Crew B: I think we ran over a rock, Ivan... - Tak

It'd be awesome if Pravda fielded one. Maybe Kanemoto Hisako managed to lobby the creators to include one.

Actually, Japanese deverloped their better tanks in the late of WW2.
Spoiler for :
Japan didn't develope tank at beginning of war because most of their enemy are Chinese, who is weak in armoured unit too. While against UK, US on the Pacific sea and jungle is not good for tanks. Near the end of war, Japan begin develope better, heavier tanks (mostly based on German tanks), but too late for them

The Soviets were also planning an amphibious assault on Hokkaido in conjunction with Operation Downfall, so the Japanese armour will be chewed up in one way or another. |

Everyone knows what to do when one is winning; but few had a plan for what to do when one is losing. Early surrender is always better than crushing defeat.
