Didnt want to give the americans another SMG. They already have 2 that are really powerfull, while the japs have 1 amazibg out of 3. + the trench gun would be super fun.
how big is this?
looks good overall
btw you forgot sniper 1 on allies and
this looks like nightmare monster stuff
that’s a synonym for Enlisted planes right now !

What? The US Army never really used this firearm let alone in ww2.
They purchased a few thousand around the time of the Spanish American war, and got rid of them shortly after.
The problem is the US didn’t have a whole lot of bolt actions, they were rapidly swapping to semi autos. You could borrow some commonwealth equipment to represent the CW forces in the Pacific sort of like how Tunisia and Normandy are both mixed.
That aside, the LVTA seems like a poor choice honestly, I would probably go with the Stuart, LVT(A)4 is a really crazy choice it is a 75mm Howitzer, having that opposite of a proper tank with what is most likely a 57mm gun (assuming the Infantry support config not the HV anti tank config)
Flamethrower tanks seem like a bad idea, I would say the 75mm Sherman for the US and the Japanese the Type 3 Chi-Nu
Giving fighter pilots 250kg bombs seems like a poor idea in my opinion.
For the first round of fighters I would do the F6F and the A5M
And the second round be the P-51 and the Zero
the m8 turreted one would probably have heat shells, which could pen anything the japanese have
the chi ha kai(the one in picture) has 47 mm gun taht can easily pen anything up to m4(where it can pen weakposts)
the problem with chi nu is that is apparently was never used in combat
Not a bad idea but it seems to have some problem.
Well, Japanese have other (still better) submachine guns.
For example, naval ground forces often used SIG-Bergmann M1920 (Japanese name: ベ式機関拳銃) and Steyr-Solothurn S1-100 (ス式機関拳銃) .
Also, at the battle of Okinawa, Experimental Model 2 submachine gun was used. It was never adopted but at the late of war it was mass-produced and seems to be deployed to some units.
Normally, secret codename of Type 89 light/medium tank is I-Go (means Mk.A), not Chi-I (means medium tank A) / Chi-Ro (means medium tank B). When starting the Chi-Ha (Type 97 MT) and Chi-Ni (Experimental MT) plans, a new set of secret names was set. At this time, there is a theory that Chi-I (Type 89 MT Mod.A)and Chi-Ro (Type 89 MT Mod.B) were given to the first vehicle for convenience, but it was not actually used.
It seems too heavy: its 65 kg! To carry this infantry gun (Japanese called it “plunging-fire infantry gun”, not mortar), two man needed.
I think, Type 89 heavy grenade discharger is suitable for game. Name of this weapon is “grenade discharger”, but actually it is correspond to other countries’ 5-cm class infantry mortar which is in the game.
Sometimes English websites make mistake but it is Type 93 armored car, not Type 92.
Only 3 to 5 cars were build, and operated by only Shanghai SNLF, a naval ground force at Shanghai settlement, China.
I think Type 93 Motorcycle with Sidecar (九三式側車付自動二輪車) or Type 97 Motorcycle with Sidecar (九七式側車付自動二輪車) is better for “rider” troops. They were the most common Japanese military motorcycle that based upon Harley-Davidson. It armed with light machine guns like Type 96 LMG.
[edit] If you searching a vehicle comparable to M3 halftrack, Type 1 half-tracked armored personal carrier (一式半装軌装甲兵車, codename “Ho-Ha”) seems better. Its armored halftrack, and have 3x 7.7 mm machine guns.
Although, only hundreds were build and never sent to overseas as other Japanese armored vehicles and it was basically used as a garbage truck after war.
Kamikaze load of Type 0 Fighter (A6M) is 500 kg bomb. At the late of war, they equipped 250 kg bomb for a substitute of dive bomber.
Well, if implement army’s fighter, Type 4 Fighter “Hayate” (Ki-84) is better than Type 1 Fighter “Hayabusa” (Ki-43).
