Major japan suggestion thread šŸ‡ÆšŸ‡µ

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.

Could it be a slot for the Type 97 telescope sight? If so, Japan could get sniper weapons on all BRs.

Iā€™m 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 donā€™t 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).

Type 97 81 mm infantry mortar

  • High br mortar
    Type 99 81mm would be my choice here.
    type99_81mm_2

  • Impact grenades
    That one would be tricky, outside of the WW1 dated ā€œpot-shaped grenadesā€ (å£ŗåž‹ę‰‹ę¦“å¼¾) which werenā€™t in use during WW2 anymore (at least in their original form, modified versions were made that replaced the impact fuze with a timed friction fuze called ā€œsling type grenadeā€ in allied documents or ā€œexperimental modified grenadeā€ (č©¦č£½ę”¹é€ ę‰‹ę¦“å¼¾) in Japanese references) I donā€™t know of any anti-personel impact grenades that would fit, thereā€™s the Type 3 anti-tank grenade but it ofc fills a different role.

  • Flamethrower tank
    Thereā€™s 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)

  • Rocket tank/truck
    Thereā€™s the ā€œExperimental 15cm multiple rocket launcherā€ (č©¦č£½åäŗ”ē³Žå¤šé€£č£…噓進ē ²) which should be able to fill this on the truck side.

  • Event apc
    Type 1 Ho-Ki, thereā€™s two more options but this one would make the most sense.

  • Event high br paratroopers
    Weapon wise Iā€™d 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.

  • Event guerillas
    Throwing this back to my original thought on what the TT guerillas should be:
    New class: Guerrilla - #226 by Killerwolf1024

  • Lots of new maps
    Battle of Manila please. Also the much requested Soviet Invasion of Manchuria.

  • High br at launcher
    Multiple options, some already shown by @Debayan001 earlier in this thread

The nickname comes from the German ā€œstick grenadeā€ style handle, not because they stick to a surface like the No.74 grenade.

I donā€™t 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.

Here is a suggestion:
Type 97 Chi-Ha and Chi-Ha Kai in the regular tech tree!

oh I thought it meant that it sticks to surface I see

No, itā€™s faster and more flexible than the dauntless, making it faster to reload bombs, far better than the SBD or Stuka R2.

What is wrong with you.

BR4
This is a plane with 600+ max speed
Stuka D3 only have 400

I hate Ho Ri production, its immortal to 90 % of allied vehicles - as if the devs didnā€™t learn from Tiger II H breaking the game.

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.

Itā€™s 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.

Thats terrible game design.

Tankers want to fight other tanks.

Donā€™t expect BR3 vehicles to destroy BR5 tanks frontally.
Why is it that plane enjoyers accept and donā€™t complain about getting shot down by better higher BR planes, but noobs jumping in tanks canā€™t stop bitching about better tanks.

I have no skill issues and I am not stupid.

And I will complain about this.

So grow up and use real arguments instead.

Neither should you anything other then Pershing or what?

Well maybe because even BR1 planes can shoot down BR5 planes? What question is this?
