Japanese already had their fun but they got way too strong with most op AT weapon in a game (type 97) and best tank in a campaign (Chi-Ha Kai). Every single Allied tank is completely unplayable due that overpowered AT rifle and much better tanks with higher pen (plus aphe) and better armor.
You can’t last more than 10secs without getting slowly murdered one by one with no way to counter them since troopers are small and can lean/go prone or a lot of the time game will spawn weird fog that obscure your fov. What kind of ridiculous balance is this? You get best AT weapon in a game (compared to armor) at lvl 5 what’s the point of other AT weapons? Yeah zero unless you add Shermans and Jumbos there are no reason to pick them. Allies AT can’t hurt even a fly with super slow rof and low pen.
Sounds like they made all Allied tanks obsolete and i demand that they should let me to remove 2 vehicle slots and replace it with infantry slots.
Atm I may as well spawn in a tank and press suicide 5 times in a row. While i’m playing as Japan i feel extremely safe i can camp on hill and are never going to get killed by infantry only by other tanks (which rarely happen anyway) while as Allies you can get nuked instantly by Type97 with zero effort because that weapon require zero skill to use with huge pay off, you can also use it as the best sniper rifle in a game plus AA because why not?
I will painfully grind to Johnson lmg and m9 bazooka (3 more levels left) and never every touch pacific ever again, if they force me to play again after new MM i will desert instantly every single match.
I understand your pain. However if you want a REALLY good AT weapon, take you MG squad and build an M2 to the side of where you think or know where a Japanese tank will be or is, and start shooting. Try to hit the turret, sides, tracks, and engine to kill it. The M2 fires 50. bmg which is a bit smaller than the .55 that the boys fires but it is fully automatic. Watch out though, you will become sniper bait immediately.
people just learned how to deal with lvl1 no-skill halftrucks spam, in the other hand u could create topic about matches dominated by m13
chi-ha kai is from event so not everyone has it
The Japanese Type97 semi-automatic rifle is chambered for 20x125mm armor-piercing ammunition and penetrated 30mm armor plate at a range of 250m. How are they going to nerf him? After this masterpiece, the technical thought of the Japanese created a mine on a stick. They have tanks that have rice armor, and apart from the Type 3 Chi-Nu, they don’t have any tank that can match any American medium tank. Even the M-24 Chaffee has armor too thick for most Japanese Cannons.
Besides, I love sniping with the Type97. It’s a pity that the gore doesn’t work and the heads don’t explode.
Your strongest armor is 50.8mm on the gun mantlet, EVERYTHING else is 12.7mm or 6.35mm. Who would’ve guessed that an ANTI TANK weapon of any sort could kill it
LOL, only the Japan 47mm have similar pen to US 37mm. Rest of the Japan main gun have inferior pen.
The 37mm APHE is very bad lol, only the 47mm is acceptable.
LOL no, all japan campaign tank can be destroy by 50 cal. And those premium or event tank only have 30mm to 40mm of armor. I will say that m3 stuart have better armor in pacific.
Weaklings cry that they cannot stand at one end of the map and oppress enemies because their vehicles have corrugated iron armor. but with Tiger 2, he stands in one alley for the entire battle because he is afraid of meeting enemy infantry.
M13s and Stuarts (both MG and flamethrower types) were absolutely dominating Pacific non-stop for a while, because nobody took the time to play as AT characters (due to how OP explosive packs were), now that the explosive packs got better balancing, people are finally branching out and using AT characters.
M13 and Stuarts still dominate any time there isn’t AT soldiers in the fight, they are just hard countered by the AT rifle AS THEY SHOULD BE.
The Chi-Ha Kai is an event tank so not everyone has it, and even so, its nowhere near as good as you are making it out to be.
If you are still having trouble, I highly recommend running with a teammate to do 2 things:
Drop smoke to cover your advance.
Cover you with a sniper. The AT rifle is very audible and has huge muzzle flash and tracer effects. It shouldn’t be hard to identify them with a sniper.
LOL no, type 97 at rifle is always used in pacific campaign. It have nothing to do with the explosive pack. It was used because it can kill enemy tank in grey zone. What explosive pack balancing are you talking about? If you are talking about the one which nerf quick throw and disable auto throw, that didn’t change the ability of explosive pack against tank.
