Japan MG Squad

Are the TT MGs for Japan any decent ? I tried the BR II ones for them, but both that clipper one and the scoped feels very odd and uncomfortable to use.

Is it worth grinding up for the other MGs or just play the Rifle and SMG squads?

Ke-7 is very good but has kinda high recoil compared to BAR otherwise is identical to it .
Type 96 is my favorite this machine gun doesent move at all , it is more like an automatic rifle and the fact that its recoil is very low makes it a great choice but bear in mind it has top mounted magazine. Besides that I dont like any other MG in Japanese TT ,maybe type 11 but I haven’t played with that thing since last year so I have no idea also Japan has fanatics SMGs grind those firat then you can come back to MGs

Currently im running the Type 2a and the Arisaka Type 38 rifle on everyone & likely will keep running it until i get the Type 2 and the Type 4 unlocked.

Both the Rifle and SMG seem to perform very well for me since in my 15 games i was allways top 3 and won 93.33% of the rounds, but for some reason the Type 11 and Type 97 felt a bit weak and the sights are not comfortable to use on them or in case of the Type 97 the scope is just way too situational.

Would the BR III MGs be still doing good in BR IV too ? Cause the BR III rifles and SMGs doesnt seem to worth it over their BR II counterparts as they are just marginally better with a way way worse MM so im plannig on skipping that BR completly.

Ke-7 and type 96 hold their own very well on BR V which mainly I play also if you are locking for good MGs for Japan there is Hotchkiss 1922 and FN 1930 MG from BP and both are fire I use Hotchkiss on my BR V line up I also use Ke-7 on my BR v line up and both of them are great

Im a bit short on GO for weapons as i spent 3 on BR II Thompsons for the Allies, but i should get the last GO from the BP in a few days. I might give a try to that Hotchkiss, but since it will be only 1 for now probably it will go with the Assaulters & not in a dedicated MG squad.
