This is definitely something super weird
It uses 6.5mm Arisaka ammunition, has a 20-round magazine, and has a strange mantlet
To be honest, I really can’t think of anything that would allow the Japanese army to go to BR5. Unless World War II is over, they can’t be allowed to get post-World War II weapons, right?
This isn’t War Thunder
N1K1-J, Ki-84 and B7A are definitely suitable for BR5. It is best to have 800KG bombs. The Type 97 bomber has missed this
I think this plane was a prototype, but it’s japan so no one care at this point. I would be a great fighter for the japanese and has a very original design.
This is the prototype MG version (ultra light machine gun) of Type Hei rifle.
20 round magazine and full-auto setting only with high rate of fire.
This weapon is most definitely not a SF rifle, but could fill in the role of an AR, probably functioning similarly to Fedorov Avtomat.
15 round magazin, semi-auto only, so once again definitely not a SF rifle. Could be a good BR4 rifle though, 15 rounds would be fair if reload time was slowed down accordingly.
I could only find these 2 LMGs for Japan that could be good for high tier but I couldn’t find signs of them being used as infantry weapons maybe @Killerwolf1024 would be able to tell
You could just introduce the Fedorov assault rifle to the Japanese, in the battles at Halkin Gol and Lake Hasan they were able to trophy several copies.
Fedorov was used as an MG and somehow it’s an AR in the game. Type Hei MG is literally firing the same 6.5 Arisaka round as Fedorov, I really don’t see why only Soviets should have bias.
Fedorov Avtomat was only during the Great War, 1920-1928 and Winter War, which makes extremely unlikely that Japanese soldiers could have captured any of them.
There was 2 version of this gun. The main difference is the weight.
This gun also capable of mounting a gun shield.
So we can choose 1 version and give it a gun shield, lower recoil and better accuracy.
Now you have an assault rifle.
Use the other version and give it greater recoil and worse dispersion.
Now you have a SF rifle.
For Mg you can use aircraft mg like the type98 mg which is license-copy of the Mg15.
For tank dev already decided to add Ho Ri. Maybe WarThunder will add O-i one day so we can add it in game.
SF means Select Fire rifle which Type Hei MG is not, since its full-auto only, it would work like an Fg42 stuck in full-auto which is clearly better than what Japan has now (literally nothing), but 20 rounds for a full-auto weapon you can’t even fire in semi-auto kinda beats the idea of SF, it would be an Assault Rifle available to everyone.
