Yes exactly that’s why i listen from them that its different then MG 42 but i don’t see how its different since you can link them. Cuz from what i have seen you can link them without a problem.
No, you can’t, the most you could see on video is how during shooting from Type 3 or Type 92 one of the machine gun crew members feeds 30 cartridge belts without stopping, which allows for continuous shooting. You can see this in this video at 3 minutes and at 3 minutes 15 seconds.
And if a 100 cartridge belt can be wrapped around you or something else, a 60 cartridge rigid belt will take up large dimensions. A 90 cartridge belt will be simply gigantic in length!
And finally, even 30-round rigid belts bend, while a 90-round belt will most likely simply break under its own weight when a soldier with a machine gun moves.

Yes his linking them without a problem same way in game we run with 100 round mg 42 its same logic …
There is the one with the bag option but I dont think Japan used it. But in reality having this thing loaded with 90 round and moving is as realistic as moving with 100 round belt with mg 42
It would still be a little funny to see 
For a belt machine gun there is the Type 97 it seems to me it would be perfect for rank 5 Thanks for the video !

WHERE DOES HE CONNECT THEM!?!?!
Please provide a screenshot.
It would be great to know more about the Type 4 machine guns. They could potentially be great machine guns for the 5th BR.
he locks them on the top of the pin and continues firing every 30 have a connection pin or its not ?
As you can see is the same normally they are fired by 2 people :
This is all great, of course, but one way or another, a rigid tape cannot be combined into one.

I’m not saying that they can be I’m saying that they where operated the same way and if we have 100 round mg 42 what’s the difference then this since they are operated and used absolutely the same. That’s why since we have General purpose machine gun why use some aircraft one?
And since you are here you can check my other topic you can help me there also :
