Moving the Type 4 up even further would be a mistake imo, its already over-BRād at 4 when compared to other nations clip loading semi autos (G41 at BR3, Garand at BR3 as well), using it unupgraded as well and I didnāt like it either to the point that even at high BR my default SLR was still the 5rnd Hei for a long time. The Type 4 already deserves a buff at its current BR rating.
But back to the KÅ, yes I really hope we get it in the TT, along with a sniper variant since Japan lacks a semi auto in that department as well.
Yes, that would be very nice, been suggesting such a thing for a long time. I think the Type Ko is a better fit than the Type Otsu, and is essentially a direct analog of the G 41. Plus it allows you to add two rifles to the pumping branch at once - Type Ko and Type Ko sniper rifle. But it is worth to increase the speed and damage, at the moment Type Ko is a very weak rifle. In addition, I think the owners of premium engineers with Type Koh I do not mind if they will be given the opportunity to attach telescopic sights, similar to the premium units of radio operators in Gremania and the USSR. This way there will be a choice between the Type Otsu with low recoil and fast reloading and the Type K with a spacious magazine.
Speaking of Japanese sniper weapons, if with Type 96, Type 99, Type Ko, Type Otsu everything is quite simple and clear, then with Type Hei everything is more complicated. We can notice a groove on the left side of the Type Hei, and on the whole series of rifles. It is noteworthy that this groove is closed on some photos.
Iām not sure if this slot was meant for a scope at all.
The Type 97 scope was developed after these rifles were trialed. Japan had an ongoing sniper rifle program before/during their development tho so I would guess the scope was either one of the experimental ones or something completely unique to those rifles
Tbh, I would prefer to see MGs with scopes for the sniper class: the type 96, the type 97 tank MG, the type 99, and the type 91 tank MG all had scopes that could be attached to them, and it could make the japanese tree more unique. The type 4 tank MG prototype also had a scope. And even if we donāt get MGs for snipers, they could also give us the type 99 rifle with a 4x scope, because some type 99 rifles were fitted with it, the one we have in game is equipped with a 2.5x scope (which is also accurate).
Flamethrower tank
Thereās a few options here (see: A Collection of Potential Flametanks), but in short the most fitting compared to the other nations style of light tank flamethrowers would be the Ha-Go modified to use a flamethrower in the hull (which once again, fun fact is already the ingame model)
Event high br paratroopers
Weapon wise Iād really like to see the paratrooper version of the Type 99 LMG, if they want to make it more competetive for high-BR add the optic to it.
I donāt agree with this pick. It would stupid-looking to carry around an Aircraft machinegun with no stock or foregrip as if you are Rambo. We already have the Type 100 but if you want another there is the TE-4 BR IV or the Type 98 BR V.
Both Carry more than 50 rounds each, 69 in the TE-4 and 75 for the Type 98.
The Japanese ground converted Vickers would be a really cool EVENT weapon tho.
It has no MG and bad gun traverse.
You can shoot the track leaving it literally defenseless.
Even 12,7mm MG is enough to penetrate the top of the vehicle and kill the crew.
Itās not game breaking at all, player stupidity is the problem, they complain instead of using the right equipment or fixing their own skill issues.
Well yes but that usually means that it is useless as a vehicle unless fighting other vehicles, as soon as it gets used, allied players simply stop playing tanks.
Donāt expect BR3 vehicles to destroy BR5 tanks frontally.
Why is it that plane enjoyers accept and donāt complain about getting shot down by better higher BR planes, but noobs jumping in tanks canāt stop bitching about better tanks.
