Japanese AFVs were intersting, but technologically backward. On the other hand the Japanese showed considerable adeptness ar getting their armour into action in very rough terain. Ther is evidence that the Japanese managed to ge their armour into action at Imphal and Kohima....a remarkable achievement , given the complate lack of roads, and very rough terrain. Until the Japanese proved otherwise in Malaya, many officers of the british army believed it impossible to deploy tanks into the Jungle.....and that preconception persisted with many soldiers for a very long time
