During World War II, Japan fielded approximately 2,500 tanks, including various models such as the Type 95 Ha-Go and the Type 97 Chi-Ha. However, their tank production and technological advancements lagged behind those of the Allies, particularly the United States and the Soviet Union. While Japanese tanks were used extensively in the early years of the war, they often faced challenges due to lighter armor and firepower compared to their adversaries. Overall, Japan's reliance on infantry and naval power meant that tanks played a relatively limited role in their military strategy.

What impact did the Panzer have in World War 2?

Panzer=Armor. Therefore your question is asking "what impact did armor have in WWII?" Armor=Tanks=Panzer was simply an evolution process. Before tanks, men fought USING HORSES. In WWII every combatant nation (the smart ones) exchanged their HORSES for tanks! All combatants in WWII had tanks (panzers, armor); the USSR had T34 medium tanks; the US used M3 Stuarts & Lees; the French & Italians used Renaults and Fiat tanks; Japan had Type 97 medium & Type 95 light tanks; Germany had Mk I thru 7's. Just part of the evolution of mankind...horses to tanks, swords to rifles!
