Well, I didn’t tell you that, I said it in general.

Infantry wise yes but vehicles are quite poor. No br 3 fighter unless you count the event zero forcing you to use weaker br 2 planes. Also d4y1 power level is similar to br 2 stuka r2 and it is not that great in br 3. Also all japanese planes in low/mid br have to take off from carrier which greatly limits their usage compared to america.
As for tanks chi-nu is the only real option as na-to and ho-ni are both tank destroyers with very limited infantry fighting potential. Chi-nu aint a bad tank but it is clearly inferior to m4a2 sherman. It has hard time front penning it from front while even br 1 tanks can go through chi nu armour. Chi-nu also has slower reload, bad machineguns, machingunner seat priority, worse HE shell and no stabilizer. It is more comparable with br 2 panzer 3 j1 than anything in br 3.

Infantry wins the matches not tanks and that’s where Japan has amazing guns. I hope they will add Chi-nu ii soon to BR3 so at least they could have some cool tank that could go against Sherman and some new planes.
Yes, but I find tanks on Pacific maps to be unimportant. The maps just don’t work for them at all. Burma is an exception.
And I’m not worried about the Japanese eventually getting more good aircrafts across all BRs. There are plenty to choose from.
Yes but tanks are great at distracting enemy, clearing the point or holding important roads. They force infantry to seek cover or flank which can be really effective if used well. A good tank player can constantly barrage the objective giving his teammates less resistance when reaching the control point. Tanks alone cant win by game design but they will make the job much easier for infantry
Interesting. In my opinion tanks are extremely powerful especially in pacific where there is lots of high ground and destroyable buildings. There are some limitations of course like vegetation blocking your view and wooden buildings absorbing HE shells.

The German BR3 has an advantage: you don’t have to worry about the Allied BR4, but encountering the German BR4 would only be a tragedy for the Allied BR3.

Almost no one will use it, and the BR4 in the America has no value to play with.You don’t want to be a Dim sum of Tiger 1 and Pz. 5, do you?
Honestly I think tanks work better on the Guadalcanal maps vs the Burma map, there is just so many good infantry only routes on it.
Honestly, maybe a hot take, but BR3 Allies is actually really fun vs BR4 germans, they have nothing I class as decisively better, Panthers for sure are a pain in the ass if they grey zone camp, but aircraft can normally deal with them well, none of the BR4 german weapons I find are genuinely unfair to fight against with BR3 WA.
In fact against the likes of a tiger, I think that is where the most fun can be had.
Though that might also have to do with how shit all the BR4 german teams I have ever seen are as well, I mean I wouldnt class them as bad, like I would see them build rallies, etc. Maybe just they dont like to build defences? People really underestimate the power of sandbags tbh.
My screenshot was purely from face tac and others spamming KV 1s. In most scenarios, especially urban naps, not really, but open maps, it’s the tanks that win.
I guess not, but Germany has a lot of disadvantages against BR III USA still. The Garand, M4A2 and Thompsons in particular are leagues ahead of German contemporaries.
Soviets have advantage both in tanks and infantry and have no weaknesses outside of planes (buy yak-9k is p2w) so don’t be surprised why they are winning.
So most people reckon the MG 34 is lacking but the ZK-383 or the MP 35 isn’t? Right…
Who said anything about hunkering down? I play the MG 34 like a PPSH and the results are incredible. Most SMGs lose out against it, but the last thing a Soviet player expects is me hipfiring clearing objectives with a MG 34 and it literally shreds them in half, armour, vitality or not.
ZK-383 is pretty good, Mp35 is bad in a current state it needs a buff
And then you wake up and died vs PPSh-41/DP-27/SVT-38/RMN-50 combo

That is a problem of playerbase or matchmaking and unfortunately it happens everytime with the all factions and devs has no intention to fix it, simply because everyone actually loves to obliterate and grind xp from their enemies and hates when they gets obliterated/steamrolled. sometimes we just gotta accept lose even if its feels bad 
At least prior to this week it was goated
Difference is those are matches that I would dream to have. Both sides pretty on par for skill level. The match I played required no skill, just whoever had the most RMNs and KV 1s. And my German teammates had no idea what a rally or the objective was.

yeah, I understand you. I used to have 1v5 3v8 matches lot of times, now its rare but I still have them every few days, its just hard to find totaly balanced game also servers makes huge difference. you can try to change to another server if you don’t have ping problem other than that there will be always steamrolled matches
