Well Imma try yo fill Japanese tech tree for BR 5 lets begin with rifle line
the Hino Komuro M1904 rifle,
the Hino Komuro M1904 rifle, a semi-auto rifle tested during the Russo-Japanese War
15 round mag
Typr ko rifle
I know this is in the game but there was 2 version made carbine version and long version as far as I know long one is in the game so lets add carbine version and also a version of carbine for sniper
Now for SF rifle
TBH Jpan didn’t have any SF rifle so SF rifles are not Japanese or not made at all
captured SIG KE 7
The KE-7 was the product of two designers, Pál Király and Gotthard End, and was introduced in 1929 by the Swiss manufacturer SIG. It was a recoil operated design and fired from an open bolt. The guns were not adopted by the Swiss military, and were exported primarily to Latin America and China, being mostly made in 8mm Mauser. They were tested by many European nations, and were offered in a wide variety of calibers. The rate of automatic fire would vary depending on caliber, but was not less than 550 rpm. Magazines were typically 25 rounds.
The gun did have a quick-change barrel, and could fire in either single shot or automatic mode. It didn’t use a selector switch, though – pulling the trigger back slightly gave single shots, and a further pull gave automatic fire.
Japanese Federov (Federov M1925)
Japanese tried to make Federovs
This is plan for the weapon my guess is because of complexity they never made one and only made a plan for the gun BTW mag seems small so I guess it holds less ammo maybe 10 or 15 or mag is chambered in 7.7 and that’s 10 round mag I don’t know the only thing I have about it is this plan but I can for certain say this is not 25 round mag federov and its entirely different
Next SMG and AR
Modification of the experimental submachine gun Type II A model 1942
Type II A of the 1942 model was slightly shorter than the 1934 model and did not have a device for attaching a bayonet.
The maximum set rate of fire is 820 rounds per minute. Culd be fed either 30 or 50 round.
The total length of the barrel with chamber is 241.3 mm, the rifled part with a bullet transition is 220 mm. The number of riflings is 6, with a width of 3.175 mm, a depth of 0.1524 mm, and a rifling stroke of 254 mm.
The outer surface of the barrel has segmental longitudinal lobes to increase the intensity of heat removal during prolonged shooting.
The British test group tested a modification of the Type II A submachine gun of the 1942 model showed excellent performance in automatic fire, was characterized as an easily controlled and accurate weapon with low weight, with minimal barrel drift and low recoil.
Experimental submachine gun Type I model 1934.
The number of Type I submachine guns produced in 1934 is estimated at 50 units. The Imperial Japanese Army tested it in 1936 and 1937, supposedly underwent military tests in southern China (there is no confirmation of this fact yet), information about tests and use in the imperial fleet is not confirmed.
Performance characteristics of the submachine gun Type I (Shisei is–gata kikauu tanjuu) model 1934, caliber 8x21mm Nambu, open-end 50-round magazine, total length 638 mm, barrel length 229 mm, rate of fire 400-600 rounds per minute, weight 2950 g
Shisei Type Hei model 1934
Both versions could be japanese BR 5 AR
Cartridge 6.5x50mmSR
Magazine for 20 rounds.and 30
the rate of automatic fire is 600-700 rounds per minute
(according to other sources, 450-600 rpm)
But alas, there is no more detailed information about the weight and size characteristics.
As a bonus here an event squad armed with STG-44s
the military attache of the Japanese Imperial Navy, Admiral Yokoi, draws up a purchase agreement (dated September 27, 1943) for six units of MP-44 assault rifles. Date of completion/acceptance 09.19.1944
But most likely they never reached Japan
Japanese LMGs for BR5
Field-modification of Type 98 swivel machine gun
essentially a Japanese MG-15
Type 92 machine gun
Essentially a copy of the Lewis gun, the Type 92 was fed with a drum magazine and used in a flexible mount.
Type 89 in TE-4 configuration
Essentially a dinner plate with 69 rounds
heavy line
type 4 rocket launcher with 90 mm rocket
According to wiki it could punch 120 mm of steel (wiki page just search 試作九糎空挺隊用噴進砲)
tank line
CHI-TO
Despite its potential, the Type 4 Chi-To was never made in large numbers. At the war’s end, only six chassis were made, with only two of those made into tanks. The completed tanks were dumped into Lake Hamana in Shizuoka Prefecture to avoid capture by Allied forces. One tank would be recovered by the U.S. occupation forces following Japan’s surrender in World War II. The tank was then transported to Aberdeen Proving Grounds for tests and would eventually be scrapped in October 1952.
Unfortunately, this tank is not worthy of BR 5 their performance is at best comparable to PZ IVs so realistically this tank would be BR 4 OR 3
Chi-To Late
As you can see this is the same tank only angled
Chi-RI II
The Type 5 Chi-Ri II (五式中戦車II 「チリII」) was designed as a result of Japanese field reports on the Eastern front war between Germany and the Soviet Union which evolved tank combat as a separate branch. Roughly offering the hull protection of a KV-1 and the firepower of German long 75 mm’s, the Chi-Ri was to be a heavy medium tank offering quality over quantity in tank design. However, with the scale the Chi-Ri was supposed to be designed and the draining of resources the Japanese military experienced through China and mainly the Pacific, resources were diverted to the more practical Chi-To instead.Well only one made.This is not a BR 5 worthy Tank
Heavy Tank No.6
The Heavy Tank No.6 is a Japanese-purchased Tiger I meant to be shipped over to Japan by submarine to bolster Japanese tank forces and research material. The transfer was never issued due to the continued increase of Allied naval supremacy, and the Tiger was loaned “back” to the Germans and used in the 101st SS heavy tank battalion in Belgium.
This is only Japanese tank worthy of BR5 besides Ho-ri
Chi-ri armed with 8.8 cm gun
CHI-RI with type 99 /88 mm AA gun this never was planned but Americans seeing the large turret of Chi-ri thought that the Japanese were planing to use 88 mm like Germans with this tank but in reality the large turret was for belt fed auto loader. with 88 mm CHI-RI wouldn’t have access to auto loader
this would also be a good tank at BR5 if they decided to add it
chi-se
The most well known portrayal of the Chi-Se - a bigger Chi-Ri with sloped armor and a 10.5 cm gun. This portrayal does not have a new supension design, and it also has a modified, larger turret
Another portrayal of the Chi-Se. This one is seemingly an unique, new design separate from the Chi-Ri, but has sloped armor and similar turret. The gun is mounted upside down on the turret, it has the similar exhaust pipes to the Chi-To, and judging from the turret being so far in the forward, it most likely has rear mounted transmission.
Chi-Se was a very late WW2 project of using existing components to create an ultimate medium tank. The Chi-Se would combine the fully rotating turret and mobility from medium tanks, and the firepower from the Ho-Ri tank destroyer - the 10.5 cm gun. Alongside those, the Chi-Se would use a new kind of suspension type from the usual bell crank suspension (which was used on almost every Japanese tank during WW2), which was already experimented on the Chi-Ri during it’s design phase. The Chi-Se is usually portrayed as a bigger Chi-Ri with a 10.5 cm gun and hull of sloped armor.
While there’s no actual solid proof that the Chi-Se was more or less a heavier Chi-Ri, there’s a very good chance the Chi-Se was that, as most of the medium tanks of Japan were basically bigger evolutions of previous designs.
Japan doesn’t lack planes to add BR5 so imma leave it to you guys to suggest some
