General information
Not meant for Japanese service, a single M36 was supplied to the JGSDF for research purposes in assistance towards the domestic Japanese tank program, which would eventually become the Type 61.
Introduced in Update "Danger Zone", the Japanese M36 GMC is essentially the same as the M36 GMC, with a few improvements. It has a new muzzle brake and bore evacuator. It uses the later M82A1 round which increases penetration. It also has a hull MG, and roof armour that is 6 mm thick. The most attractive feature of this M36 is its HEAT-FS ammunition, which can easily destroy most targets.
