Haha, I can picture this scenario happening in War Thunder, on the "Eastern Europe" and "Jungle" maps. I wonder how many players would actually tell the truth if Gaijin put something like this in as a secret April Fools joke? Would be bloody amazing.
Also the way the IJA officer is drawn makes me think of old WWII cartoons.
*sighs* It appears that I'm having issues adding "imperial_japanese_army" and "japan_ground_self_defense_force" to the copyright tags. If someone could fix those up, it'd be greatly appreciated.
For people that don't get the joke, the lake portrayed here is Lake Hamana. In August 1945 some of the more advanced Japanese tanks were sunk in this lake, including a Ho-Ri and some production model Chi-To's and Chi-Ri's. A search of the lake took place in 2013 but they didn't find anything.
