That’s been my experience too. Very dull
The only thing Japan lacks is IJA planes that get airspawns and players
Yes + proper balance of tanks. For example chi nu should be BR2 instead of BR4.
But that’s definitely not the reason why Japanese are so dead rn.
The primary reason is because literally majority of people started to play US because they have taken advantage of unfair cap speed/ticket policy against germans.
It was so easy to grind US tech tree thanks to it.
And Japan just got swept up in the incredible popularity of the US.
It has literally nothing to do with equipment. People just didn’t want to tryhard and sweating against bloated US faction atm. Especially since majority of those people maxed our Japanese tech tree anyway.
And to use Japan’s current unpopularity to propagate such a fundamental change in equipment is a complete misunderstanding of the situation.

Theoretically that bloat should die down here soon. I’d imagine most would migrate over to the Sovies to keep taking advantage of a weakened German population. That or go back to Germany or something. Who knows really

My opinion is, they should finally implement anti deserters policy now. Including:
- Blocking the squads until the match you have deserted ends.
- if you leave the match, automatical loss will be added to your stats
I know it may not look like it at first glance. But desertion has an incredible effect on faction bias. Since most people want to have easy battles where they don’t have to tryhard but play it their way and still win.
And matches are being deserted by the very players who have the best chance of influencing them
Casual players usually don’t care whether they win or lose.
If every match was about both sides having to really try to win. And not just about one side quitting the match after the first few minutes and the other side just getting an exp reward in the form of farming bots and casuals. I believe there would be far less faction bias.

Japan is not doing bad against the US. If anything, Japan should face m2 carbines even now
How about the tokyo smg, u must face what Japan does well and what is does not. It is a unique faction with its own strength.
Definitely need to do something about the match surfers
I was hopeful for this post but immediately saw a Japanese Tiger so no.
Japan needs unique mechanics like those present in Rising Storm that make up for their lackluster war materiell

Well, when they tryhard or stack, they get called sweats or some other nonsense… I was just called that in one of these dumb threads. While I agree there needs to be an anti deserter policy, it might have some unintended effects. The only people this would target are those who just don’t play the game and leave just about every match.
Jap players haven’t been too much of anything lately; I would call them just about dead. To the op, simply play another faction or just quit the game.
Frankly, I’m thinking of ignoring these threads, as long as they don’t effect my gameplay. Because all they are is just whine threads.
BR3 Chi-Nu will slove 90% of problem
100% BR5
WT BR is the same as Tiger E
German non-premium kwk37 also does not have heat.
Regarding infantry weapons:
Japanese submachine guns are very good, the only thing that needs to be adjusted is maybe the Type-4 to BR3

They’re already 2 IJA planes in game. Just ones a premium the other is a late tech tree unlock.
If you think about it, every day War_Frog sounds more and more like a “Japan Suffers” version of GreyParrots’s “Germany Suffers”
Suprised they’re not best friends😂

BR-1 Type 100 vs M3 Grease Gun: same mag and rate of fire, Grease Gun does 1 more damage which often allows it to 1 shot down someone at closer ranges.
BR-2 MP-28 vs Owen Mk. I: MP-28 shoots slower than the M50 Reising and does PPSh-41 damage, compare that to the Owen which has the same rate of fire as the PPS-43 and damage as the Beretta M38.
BR-3 M1A1 Thompson vs Type 100: (Late) Type 100 (Late) wins no doubt.
BR-4 M1921/28 Thompson vs Tokyo Arsenal SMG: The amount of hatred the Thompson can throw out while having low recoil, a large mag, and a fast reload speed beats the Tokyo Arsenal SMG.
Vickers and Brens, but you will never be fighting tier 2 against other tier 2s its a BR 1-3 Que. I play BR-2 and the American Seal Clubbers are always packing an M1 Garand, Bar M1918A2, Sherman 75, Sherman 105, and the M8 howitzer with a 1.5 second reload time.
So you cant penatrate cardboard Jap shit with decent AT weapons?
Pacific which is notoriously easy and designed to grey zone camp often leads to Sherman 105s camping out of reach of the few of my soldiers armed with tnt and explosion packs, i bought over 20 of Tojos toilet plungers only to find out that they’re bugged and dont work. So i cant kill grey zone camping Seal Clubbers with a Ta-Se or the Anphibious shit.
Yes this sucks,
because if they worked, there be no complain about tanks, and not having any,
don’t need tanks, if these worked 
that recent video of AT squad shooting tanks in practice range, now imagine 9 toons chasing you with the plungers, be a sight

Ive been playing on Eastern European servers with crossplay disabled to combat American Seal Clubbers.
Its mostly a 1v3 against people in the UK for some reason which i can often beat, also zero lag, Australia is much closer to the United States than Eastern Europe so be sure to play US servers to reduce lag as much as possible.
Suggest what you will to address balance concerns, but if you give any faction a x2 silver bonus they will become the most popular over night. We would have posts about the USA getting rolled every game the very next day.

Did you mix up Canada with America?
