Bullshit, no way a panther could drive more than halfway around the block without breaking it's tracks, suspension, engine and main gun!
Don't underestimate the huge financial the government gives support to tankery! A tankery lifehack: just buying a ticket for a train is quite pricey, but if you pull up to a station on your tank, you can get it transported wherever you want on a flatcar without paying a penny (the station personnel will just stop the first train going there and couple it in)! ← (complete bullshit, but in the GuPverse it might actually work)
You came by tank!?Well, you know...I didn't know how to get a ticket for a plane or ship to come here, so...
Or even the train...From Kumamoto?
