Notes | The type 94 was the standard Japanese anti-tank gun and saw action against Soviet tanks in 1939 and was light and easy to deploy, but by 1942 it struggled to penetrate allied armour. It was kept in service because many units had nothing else, and as the war progressed it was used more as an infantry gun. They were issued to infantry regiments and assigned to anti-tank companies. |
