[Naohmcete]

I wish suggest a japan event, it’s more than a year when japs get one and americans have for at least 6 or 7 events lmao, I know japs aren’t a loved faction but well…I feel a bit sad…

[GasMasters]

Whats wrong with them getting a new event?every time there is a topic involving something positive for germany or japan,you give a one word answer and some abrasive comment on the matter,which brings no value to the discussion and is just rather annoying.

[Kriegerfaust007]

ooh an event where the Japanese team is nuked or are destroyed by Kong, and Japan calls Godzilla to destroy us if they win,

[Naohmcete]

what an idea for april’s fool!

[Naohmcete]

There is still a long way to go to give Japan but with people like you I feel that we will not see such a thing soon

[GasMasters]

@MasterGrey

You and the one who made this post is annoying.

Okay then,whatever you say.

@MasterGrey

Japes dont need anything else.

Yes they do,there are a lot of inconsistencies in the japanese gear compared to the US,especially veichles,and do us all a favor and get grammarly or something.

[coldestwinter]

Germany has 8 events squads, Japan has 3. With no BR 5 event or premium squads, hopefully Japan is given something to make it a more exciting faction to play in the update.

[SzepWaxweiler]

It would be awesome if they got a great semi-autumatic actually there was a discussion the other day about Thompson and I mentioned these

@SzepWaxweiler

I also want Chinese semi-automatics as GO(More like in the tech tree but thats too far fetched)
general liu rifle

And The Type Hua Quick Step Autorifle(This one has no photo only an image wich imagines what it would have looked like)(Apparently they found about the rifle in 1974 when they were checking old warehouse and did find the rifle laying around but no one took a photo)

Artistic Representation

Its 10 round short recoil rifle according to description given by the people who found it

or these

@SzepWaxweiler

Approximately from 1927 to 1931, Japanese representatives purchased individual samples of self-loading and automatic rifles from Denmark, France, Czechoslovakia, England, and the USA.

Madsen-Rasmusen

rifle of the 1903 model, caliber 8x58R, with a long barrel stroke with locking, a magazine for 9-10 round. The rifle was rejected due to the complexity of the mechanism. a rate of fire of 60 rounds per minute.

RSC 17

designed by Riberol, Sutter and Chauch,model 1917, caliber 8x50R, gas-operated automatic with rotary cylinder locking, non-detachable magazine, loaded with a pack of 5 rounds.ate of fire 45-50 rounds per minute. The rifle was rejected due to its weight of 5275 grams, frequent breakdown of mechanisms and springs, and a special pack for cartridges.

Vickers Pedersen T2E1 Experimental Rifle

the Pedersen rifle from Vickers-Armstrong was purchased in several samples. Pedersen rifle model 1930, caliber .276 (wrantless), non-detachable magazine, loaded with a pack of 10 rounds. , rate of fire 50 rounds per minute. The rifle underwent extensive testing and was copied by the Koishikawa Army Arsenal.

M1922 Bang rifle

for comparative tests (not for adoption), Bang-Springfield rifles of the 1922 model and Browning systems of the 1918-1922 model (known as the Browning light machine gun. BAR m1918) of 7.62x63 mm caliber were purchased.
The bang-Springfield system, model 1922, caliber 7.62x63 mm, gas exhaust mechanism of a muzzle gas trap with locking, non-detachable magazine, loaded with 5-round clips. , rate of fire 40 rounds per minute.
The rifle was used in comparative tests with Japanese experimental designs.

For SMGs

@SzepWaxweiler

its chambered in 7.63 muaser

Its name is Sichuan Type submachine gun and was made during either 30s or early 40sat workshops in Chongqing, then part of the Sichuan province hence the name and yes some were used in second-sino-Japanese war and is in fact largely a copy of M1921

@SzepWaxweiler

There is chinese copy of M1921 Thompson looks funky(Taiyuan Arsenal Thompson in .45 ACP)

And M1923 cambered for 7.63 Mauser(Chongqinng Arsenal Thompson in 7.63mm Mauser)

These were used during the Central plains war in which nationalist captured 1200 of them from warlords also communist captured some in mid 30s and gave them to their elite troops

@SzepWaxweiler

Beretta m38/43

In June 1943, the Yokosuka Naval Arsenal submitted an application for the purchase of a batch of Beretta submachine guns in the amount of 350 units, complete with three 20-round magazines and 2000 rounds of ammunition.
Before Italy left the war on September 8, 1943, in early August, the first and only batch of M38/43 submachine guns, 50 units with 150 magazines and 50,000 rounds of 9 mm M38 caliber, arrived at the Yokosuka base.
In general, the Japanese version of the M38/43 is not much different from the Italian one, except for the absence of any markings with the full name of the manufacturer or affiliation with the Japanese fleet; there are acceptance marks in the form of a kanji and letter marks (in the form of two letters) on parts manufactured by Beretta.
The main purpose of these submachine guns remains unclear. Perhaps they were purchased for comparative tests (but a non-standard cartridge for Japanese weapons), or perhaps for sabotage operations in the rear of the Australian, New Zealand and British armies (which used similar 9mm cartridges).
One way or another, this was the last purchase of small arms by the Japanese fleet. It should be mentioned that in March 1943 in Germany, 5 MP-40 units were handed over to the military representative of the Japanese army for review, the further fate of which remained unknown (perhaps they remained in Germany like the Tiger tank purchased in 1944).

and for AR event squad

@SzepWaxweiler

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

I’d rather have a proto weapon than literally copy pasted another faction’s most iconic weapon.

@Adamnpee

Yep, same goes for the Japanese Tiger. I don’t know why people are begging for it, if you want to play a tiger, just play Germany. I Would rather have original Japanese tank like Chi-To and Chi-Ri than lame copy pasta honestly.

[Naohmcete]

me too

[SzepWaxweiler]

I dont know what to call you guys so lets start by ADAM

@Adamnpee

I’d rather have a proto weapon than literally copy pasted another faction’s most iconic weapon.

OH yeah pls let us know which proto Adam! there is only one AR japan tried to make and that was Type 2C or better Type 2 (6.5) which no picture exist only documents of it and best guess thats gonna be for tech-tree so yeah that’s that no problem but don’t jump to the gun on the idea of STG in Japan as event is bad , cause that might be the second and last AR that Japan might ever get .Oh yes there is also [ Madsen M1902/04 but thats a MG and DF showed with SIG KE-7 that even if the community wants something to be AR they will not do it(SIG KE-7 is MG and they decided with the next major update its gonna be added as MG)

@Comet92220

Yep, same goes for the Japanese Tiger

Because that will be the only viable tank in BR 5 and for making it unique they can give another ammo you dont except that Chi-to and Chi-ri 2 to be able to compete with any of the BR 5 tanks (especially JUMBO and Superpershing and even pershing) both of those have 151 pen which is less than Tiger E and H1’s pen in game with around 165 and Tiger 1 cannot pen Jumbo so dont except these to be anything but a steping stone to get to Ho-ri which has 200 armor and not 75 mm armor which is even less than that of PZ IV G,J,H if I were in the shoes of devs I would put them to BR 2 or 3 at best right yes there is HO-RI but thats a tankdestroyer and with superpershing that thing will become obsolete and even tiger E will not be able to pen that so you will have pre HO-RI situation for Japan so you might ask if even Tiger will become obsolete why ask for it ?
Because beside Ho-ri prototype which is less powerful Ho-ri which we have in game thats the other tank worthy of BR5 and its in WT and not something we came up and you might ask why it has to be in WT? Because in last 3 years we’ve only gotten 2 tanks that devs modeled (Doubt it infact I think they asked WT team to do it for them)
So yeah thats why we gonna see a Japanese Tiger its not if we but rather when we?

Though if they wanna model some tank I welcome them I would love to see Heavy tank No.4 and 12 cm Ho-ri 2

Heavy tank number 4’s turret as stationary defense

12 CM HO-RI II

well not that it matters who am i gonna convince devs I bet they are too lazy to even look at this suggestion anyway

[Naohmcete]

thank you for aid me to explain things fellow japan enjoyer

[Adamnpee]

@SzepWaxweiler

@Comet92220

Tiger is definitely not better than Ho-Ri. Plus they could still add O-I.

@SzepWaxweiler

OH yeah pls let us know which proto Adam!

Idk, they could just use shielded variant of type hei auto and classified it as AR.

As far as I know, it uses the same ammo as fedorov. So it shouldn’t be problem.

First combat use of the Type 97 anti-tank rifle

[image] In May 1939, the only mass-produced Japanese anti-tank rifle, the Type 97, first saw combat during the Battles of Khalkhin Gol. The design of the new anti-tank rifle proposed by the Kokura Arsenal followed the solutions previously used in the Swiss 20mm Hispano-Suiza aircraft cannon. Because of this, the rifle turned out to be very heavy and oversized, but its large caliber allowed it to fight a variety of targets. Even towards the end of the war, when anti-tank rifles were considered…

[Naohmcete]

welp, it’s something I gues, I was expecting…something more than a pistol, but ey we got something from a long year of wait lol

[Kriegerfaust007]

a pistol and a picture
last American event 2 pistols and a picture so yeah

[Naohmcete]

for me the event would be pistol and portrait,then second part would be a versiok of that rifle with shield and last one would be a reward of that shielded rifle give players a prototypeif a grenade to attach your rifle,like an evolving reward :>
