Japanese handheld anti-everything 20mm auto cannon needs to be nerf

Do some people really view this game as a never ending slugfest where they only care about their pet faction dominating in a constant back and fourth struggle. I don’t care if a faction may be weak in “early” game or “OP” in “late game”. I just play the game

If I’m Japan fighting America ok cool whatever, if I’m America fighting Japan ok cool whatever. I just enjoy the game.

The type 97 is just an effective anti light tank AT weapon as nothing has too much armor in the pacific.
Once the merge happend and US gets new and armored tanks the type 97 will fall of hard.
Every single .50 cal is anti-everything in the pacific should we now ask for it to be nerfed aswell?

Its pretty cool…gives me hope the solothurn AT rifke will be added one day

Well PzB,s 5m pen is 35 and Boys’s is 30,and PzB has 10 round mag, higer velocity ,but much lower Rate of Fire.

Maybe because you can’t charge at all? 20mm will eat you alive with or without infantry cover.
I have given up on using Stuarts with Flamethrowers, even if I try to stay among friendly infantry until I get close to the enemy, I will still be destroyed by the Type 97 at any distance.

The way I destroyed the most M13’s was with an infantry rifle grenade.

Also, mobility Nerf will not affect combat against Gray zone tanks

According to helpers, the M2 Carbine won’t be within uptier range.

As for the main topic, I think low-tier Shermans will probably be able to match with Japan, and that might encourage higher tier players to swap their anti-plane rifles for the Type 4/5

because that weapon just don’t work like that.
How about giving allies handheld .50 M2.
I can already imagine if they added Lahti L-39 soldiers would fight with holding the entire sled on hands.

The only thing I can think of to have somewhat of a fair fight with the allies In end game and their weapons in the Pacific is if the Japanese get their own magical weapon like the fedorov but not exactly like it but something like it.

Like current semi-automatic rifles?
Japan should stay in low BR.Paired with M2 Carbine is already their limit.

PzB38 has only 1 rnd, is not mag fed my man

The fact that they gave the Soviets the AS44 and the fedorov It’s still functioning somehow I don’t think it’s wrong to give the Japanese their own magical rifle too.

Sounds like a decent at gun that works as it supposed to be

I know what you mean, but you do fire 10 round without “reload”

They will eventually give the Japs the full auto variant of Type Hei Rifle, which had 20 or maybe 30 round mag (Can’t remember which)

In front of the BAR, Johnson machine gun and M1 Garand, the advantages of the Japanese SMG are not worth mentioning.

Lol, you never use PZB38 before? You need to reload the round manually from the “mag”. The 10 round “mag” on it is useless, the only thing it does is to decrease your rate of fire by having opening and closing animation.

I always said this should be in game

You are lucky devs did not add shermans
