The best of the Japanese tanks were almost equivalent to the United States's M3/M5 series. Finally a tank that the Army's 57mm antitank gun can handle:-)
I have a book titled Marine Tank Battles of WW-II and in the few cases where the M3s ran up against the Jap tanks even that was not much of a contest.

Speaking of “Kraut tanks”, anybody know how many of those fearsome Tiger II tanks were deployed in this offensive? I read these tanks were brutal but such gas guzzlers that they couldn’t supply them with enough gas.
