It's not the weight of the Tiger that would've been the issue - the Tiger had excellent ground pressure distribution (actually even better than the Sherman) thanks to its wide tracks and the Tiger also had a built-in fording mode which allowed it to swim through rivers taller than the tank itself. It's the complexity and fragility of the tank that would have posed the biggest problem. Those interleaving roadwheels would not last a month of use in places like the Philippines, and if the tank ever broke down then the crews would probably committ seppuku out of shame before they would ever manage to fix whatever the problem was especially since the supply lines in the Pacific (or lack thereof) would have meant that there would have barely been any spare parts lying around for them to use. Chances are, if the Japanese would have used Tigers in a wider scale, they would have just used them less as actual tanks and more as semi-mobile pillboxes or bunkers.

Japan actually managed to design and build their own Tiger tank, the Type 4 Chi-To tank. Unfortunately though, only two were built. At the end of World War II, the two tanks were dumped into Lake Hamana in Shizuoka Prefecture to avoid capture by Allied occupation forces. One was recovered by the US Army, but the other was left in the lake. In 2013, there were efforts to locate the remaining tank, but it was not found.

It would not make much of a difference since it was not compatible with the tactics and doctrines used on the Pacific Theater where everything was about having a good naval,air and landing forces working together in sync and trying to assault or defend some heavily fortified positions on relatively small terrains. Without much space for its maneuvers the heavier tank types like the Tiger would have become relatively easy pray for air attacks and naval artillery that is why the Japanese relied on lighter and more mobile armored units like light/medium tanks and tankettes.

It really would have only been useful in the defense of the mainland and larger islands. But transporting the thing more inland would be a logistical nightmare because of its reliability issues. Lighter tanks like Panzer 3 and 4 would be a lot better with an upgraded gun similar to Firefly and EZ8 would be a more cost effective measure than Tiger or Panther. The biggest issue would still be the Sherman's legendary variety with napalm variants being incredibly deadly to entrenched holes so I would say they should be priority. Another method that could work would be the procurement of anti-tank weapons like the Panzershreck or Panzeraust in dedicated guerilla style Hunter-Killer units and would be more effective than the lunge mine as it doesn't kill its user.

At 8:05 the clip portrays an Early Tiger, chassis number 250055, in Japanese markings (the end of the chassis number is marked on the front wall). But at 4:50 we already heard the actual chassis number of the Tiger they purchased : 250455 , which is a Mid Tiger.

Had the Tiger actually reached the Pacific Theater, it would have given the American's a huge headache. Imagine it at Iwo Jima, several Tigers dug into the mountain side? Terrifying. Sadly, it never would have come to pass as getting the things to the front lines would be near impossible. Even if Japanese was able to (some how) manage to build Tigers, by 1943 the USN would basically take the Pacific Theater (Leyte Gulf). The Tiger would never have gotten to the defensive points even if they reached the island. Traveling over sand and volcanic ash just to start is different than Russian swamps or mud. Honestly, Japan should have just studied the tank and made their own based off it. I dont count the Type 3, 4, and 5 medium tanks as they were more bigger badder versions of the Chi-ha. Or at the very least, manage to build turrets and 88mm guns based off the Tiger and use them as static AT bunkers.

Can you do a video of the Japanese I-400 Submarine, it be cool to see You do a video on it.

They should invest in small arms and anti tank weapons.

"despite enormous efforts and Grand monetary spendings from the Japanese the tank was never to arrive on the shores of Japan as it was never to see combat in the Pacific Theater fighting underneath the flag of the Rising" Caught me crying for a second

The tiger would habe been usless on the islands 😅.... But Manchurian, now that would habe been interesting

I wonder how many Uboats and transports were sunk en route to Japan

they must have a fun time to maintain it

Maybe in the pacific war advanced infantry anti tank weapons like the Panzerschreck or Panzerfaust would be far more efficient in cost and battlefield effectiveness than the Tiger.

And the ME262 the first fighterjet far more superior to anything that allies had, if this had been mass produced by Germany and Japan then they would've gained air superiority and British airspace would've been open for bombing raids as the jets were too fast for the anti air defense

Also the allies wouldn't be able to use their ships as they could be destroyed while the jets would've been untouchable except for maybe an lucky shot once in a while.
