Japan is the worst faction of the game -reasons

1 tanks br -
The developers introduce weak technology to the Japanese and give them a high br
armor - 25 mm - 3 br


it has to be br 2, it doesn’t compete with THAT in any way

Spoiler












Na-To - Why br 4???
It’s literally a truck. The carriage is visible even if you look at it from the front




It doesn’t deserve a br 4 either, but there is at least some armor, there is a machine gun and there is a tower.

The Germans have this legendary tank

Obviously, this truck has no advantages AT ALL
The tank is clearly br 3, not even 2. And even on br 2 and 3 he will suffer

  1. Anti-tank weapons on BR3+


    You are as defenseless against jambo as the Americans with the m9 are against the KT(H)
    The only vulnerable point is the mg

Everyone knows about Japanese planes - now they are just meaningless (except ki61)

4.Top rifle




7.7 deals less damage than br 4 rifles
and the damage is less than that of the original br 3 rifle
+++At the same time, the rifle has a terrible reload

5 - mg
There is no need to talk about the superiority of American mg starting with br 3

Developers - move the tanks around the br, fix the planes, do something with the Type 4


It comes to the point of absurdity - players collect the USA 4 br to humiliate the Japanese, who will do nothing to American tanks, planes and impact grenades

Did the developers introduce the Japanese so that the Americans would die of boredom?
No one will pump up the nation for the worst tanks and weapons in the game

mabay thats why they dont make soviet-japan

There are not enough Japanese even when they only play against the Americans. The developers do not want to solve the problem of Japan’s faction

The Japanese were made considering that they lost the Tunisian bot farm

BR3-5 Japan is so dead that there are no point in unlocking new stuff. 6 matches in a que and they always looked like this:


BR 3-5 vs BR4-5 US = 100% lose rate

The Na-To sucks, despite having the crew stick their head out as bullet bait I can’t have a clear view of the surrounding as the commander. It’s an open top yet you are just as blind as a T34.

meanwhile europe japan is havinh fun

No before merge

Yes post merge :rofl:

America’s total Arsenal may be weaker than Germany’s, but it is definitely much stronger than Japan’s. It is true that Japan is not an industrial power in reality and does not have that many powerful automatic weapons, but the game cannot be as unbalanced as it is now.

I have almost fully researched the Japanese tech tree, and it’s not a problem to play against Americans. I win more often than I lose. Of course, tank battles are a bit one-sided because the frontal armor of Shermans is a bit too much for my Chi-Nu. But still, I’m able to achieve quite a decent score. I personally really enjoy playing as the Japanese, but I’m looking forward to when the Soviets arrives.

Yeah the BR doesn’t correctly add up between Americans and Japanese.
(for example, you get engineer 2 squad at BR2 for americans, whereas the Japanese don’t get them until BR4).

I would personally suggest them recategorizing the Japanese tech tree to not go past BR3. Then only have low tier fights available as Japanese.
This would help numerous factors:

  • Japanese faction players would be more condensed, so that there were games that their team was more full, more often

  • The quality of gear would better align

  • No longer would the Japanese be pitted up against things like the Jumbo, for which there really isn’t a good counter for.

If you don’t know the history of the countries participating in World War II and their equipment, that’s how it is. The Japanese had such equipment because they preferred to use steel to build ships. They made tanks and planes out of rice.
I Enlisted is a Tactical game. You have to think, not rush forward. Too much BF and CoD. The tank stays at the back, away from enemy infantry, and if it has weak armor, you find a shooting position and hide, rather than complaining that the developers didn’t add Godzilla to the Japanese army.

this is a jap br 2 MG btw

this is BARa2 (the better of the BARs and probably the go to for most offensive squads)

I almost finished Japanese tech-tree. Japan has bad tanks, bad bombers, bad rifles and bad machine guns. But - it has good fighter planes and some decent SMGs. Soon Japan will receive a buff, because the soldiers will be smaller (harder to hit) :face_in_clouds:

i wouldn’t call the type 96 bad not in the fucking slightest, it’s sights might be bad but the gun itself is good, very good

Load up a squad with the FN model 1930. If you intend to play Japan it’s worthwhile. It doesn’t serve much purpose for Germany but is really nice in Japan.

I’m very interested in how you have to think through the destruction of a tank in the gray zone, if the type 5 doesn’t penetrate it, the plane flies for so long that during that time the enemy captures the point. Tanks are crap and the engineer’s gun is even more crap?

The developers removed all the quick methods of tank destruction for the Japanese. The only normal airplane - ki61
