This may be a remnant from the campaign system but nowadays every other faction gets 2 Anti-Tank gunners in their engineer squads, except the Japanese. Their own tanks and planes are complete garbage against enemy armour with abysmal penetration on their tank guns and awful armament with tiny bombloads on their planes so they need any Anti-Tank capability they can get. There’s no reason why the Japanese should have this artificial nerf on their engineer squads.
And as a sidenote; Medics squads should be able to equip other classes, especially engineers. Would actually make the viable to use.

AT balance should exist in different maps.i agree
I always run 6 engineers, so don’t remember what are the options?
Imho tho, i think having more building resources and soldiers (all with increased building speed) to build is more important for Japan in my experience. 6 building an AT/AA emplacement catches people often.
The japanese buildable AT gun is completely insufficient to take out heavier allied tanks. It can barely penetetrate the m3 lee, much less the Shermans. The only viable AT weapons for Japan are their rocket launchers. Thats why being unable to equip japanese engineer squads with a second AT gunner is such a problem.
