Japanese sniper: Buff the Type 99

So I have unlocked the two japanese sniper and this is my conclusion:

  • The scope:


    Exactly the same zoom level.
    The Type 99 cover a little more the screen.

  • The damage:

    The Type 97 have a little less damage at 10m but dominate the Type 99 at middle and long range.
    6 shot per minutes more for the Type 99 which is not worth if you fail to OS ennemy at long range.

So… Why would I use a less efficient, and more expensive Type 99, a simple worst lvl 18 copy of a lvl 0 sniper?

Suggestion: Make the Type 99 worth playing it in front of the lvl 0 sniper.

Everything the japs have needs to be buffed. Easily the weakest faction in the game.

Giretsu prem squad
Boat Tank
Semi auto 20mm AT rifle with 7 shots

  • Half of the thing you mentionned, the USA got a better version. (AA gun, SMG, LMG, sight BA, Marines raiders squads)
  • The other have is useless or a niche (plane, boat tank, bayonet on SMG, katana) Seriously, why do even put the katana in your list?! It look like you try to find excuses to say “Japanese have good weapon”
  • Or they are the same (WP, TNT, bomb strike)

I give you:

  1. 50 round german SMG, with no bayonets
  2. Stripper clip on sniper
  3. AT rifle because it shoot twice as fast.

And it’s only because I want to be nice and actually try to find something to help your point of view.

In reality USA got:

  1. better tanks
  2. better AA Tank: the infantry mowner M13
  3. better LMG: BAR
  4. better semi auto: M1 Garand
  5. better BA: USMC M1903A1
  6. better SMG: Thompson
  7. better Sniper: it takes 0.5s more to roload but look at the scope

USA-JAPANESE

How can you possibly be serious with you list

Yup totally agree. I didn’t respond because it astonished me that someone thinks the japs are actually a good faction and felt like a waste of time.

I agree with most of this but the Japanese definitely get the better bolt action with the Type 38 rifle. I also like the Japanese LMGs, having a scoped LMG is actually quite nice.

I much rather prefer the Springfield.

dude… the BAR

Their LMGs do have a massive ammo pool tho. Bren for example has 60 spare rounds while Type 11 has120. And this only gets better with large ammo bags.

The bren has 90 spare

Really? Ok. Type 11 still beats the BAR’s 80 spare ammo, is more sustainable.

Shit you are right. The TYPE 11 is so overpowered, it got 50 more bullet than the BAR.
We need to buff the BAR! Japanese LMG are too powerfull.

Do I need to write “Sarcasm” or you understood me?

And the BAR doesn’t even have a spoon.

Bitch the fucking bar doesn’t take up 90% the screen to aim down sights and since they nerfed lmg dispersion when the battle of Berlin was new the BAR STILL has the best dispersion of any lmg in the game also doesn’t take 2 weeks to reload. There isa reason the wz 1928 is the best squad in Normandy it’s a German BAR, a German lmg that doesn’t piss bullets wildly like a drunk incontinent

I will put it differently.

The Type 11 is closer to to Madsen

While the BAR is closer to this:

Do you prefer a team full of Madsen or full of FG42 II?

Give me Madsen any day the only 1 i ever give the FG42 to is the engineer on my assault squad.

You just lost all credibility dude.

Japs have better bolt action rifles…

That’s about it.

Im not even sure about that.

If we compare the two close iron sight BA we got this:
image
USA is better by 14 bmp

If you don’t care about the iron sight then the only real paramater that matter is the rate of fire
and we got this:
image
In that case yes Japanese is better by 10bmp

In my case I couldn’t do kill with BA before the 12 first level because of the iron sight. So the USA is better and you can get the USA version lvl 1, without any grind.
But for people who don’t care the 10bpm extra rate of fire is a plus. And then the Japanese is better.

I didn’t get to Marshall by useing meta gun’s i got there by useing whatever gun’s i wanted and could get my hands on and through share grit and determination so frankly you can go and shove you’re disrespect up you’re arse.

Don’t feel offended Madsen boy.
You are just objectivly wrong by prefering a Madsen to a FG42 II. There is no judgment about it.

If only @34357084 was here.
THAT WHAT YOU GET FOR BANNING HIM! NOW WE GOT PEOPLE WHO PREFERS MADSEN!
