Something I found funny.

Level 3 Heavy Tank for the Japanese is a Tiger.

But so is the level one German Tank.

So Japanese Tiger > German Tiger?

Russian bias? I think you mean Russian fact, Comrade!

Added katanas boost firepower, this is a fact.

Their is a coax that shoots katana's.

The odd thing, is that those troops in the Tiger do indeed look like Japanese.

I suppose the Germans sent some over, maybe a few for mainland defence? I can't seem to find any evidence other than this picture.

Production of the Tiger I began in August 1942, initially at a rate of 25 per month and peaking in April 1944 at 104 per month. 1,355 were built by August 1944, when production ceased. Deployed Tiger I's peaked at 671 on 1 July 1944.[28] It took about twice as long to build a Tiger I as another German tank of the period. When the improved Tiger II began production in January 1944, the Tiger I was soon phased out.

In 1943, Japan bought several specimens of German tank designs for study. A single Tiger I was apparently purchased. along with a Panther and two Panzer IIIs, but only the Panzer IIIs were actually delivered.[29] The undelivered Tiger was loaned to the German Wehrmacht by the Japanese government.

Ah, so they never actually used it. I was only searching for those in use by the IJA

I am wondering what that tiger image is relevant to

The ONLY place I can find any information on this is from a WoT post, detailing it as German propaganda for Japan.

About the Japanese in the Tiger I:

A photograph apparently showing two Japanese Army officers in a Tiger I

during a visit to Germany in the winter of 1943. Accounts suggest that a

Tiger was to be supplied to Japan in October 1943 but ended up with SS

Pz Abt 101instead.
