Let me see, Captain Keltos of the Imperial Japanese Navy aboard the Jyunsen B submarine, shooting at Japanese tanks with his deck gun. I can see a be-heading in your future.

wow, Tanks even! better and better. Even if they are stationary, it will be nice to have those as targets. Japanese tank doctrine was primitive and the problem was that once battle was begun so many palm trees were felled that the mobility of armour or any vehicles in battle was troublesome as one Japanese officer put it in dispaches. A polite typical Japanese understatment meant to save face for all concerned for sending expensive and basically useless armour to the pacific. The heat in them in the full sun made many crews literally unconcious and many ended up as pillboxes buried in lines of defense. The US Marines called them BBQ pits and enjoyed them as targets.
