Not even close to being true, allies BR3 are ultra strong much stronger than Japan even with new toys, they have zero weaknesses just like Soviets. And at BR5 they have best SF rifles and 2nd best AR in a game plus plenty of most op planes

BR III with fully upgraded tommy there is no Japan BR IV so yeah Allies even with the new buffs to Japan are the strongest faction. You have Sherman and multiple planes. Japan are only strong at BR I with the new changes and you will mostly face BR II US. And now we all have this one:

I think this video of Jonathan Ferguson about some japanese weapons might interest you all, especially regarding the Type 100 SMG. As I said, the 8mm Nambu cartridge shouldn’t inflict that much damage ingame.
The title of the video is a bit clickbait and misleading though:

This can hold it’s own br V so at the lowest it should be 4. Will fill the gap for a BR 4 British fighter.

Spitfire LF Mk IX Is not a BR II plane give it a bomb and move it to BR V

Well yes we are so hardscaped on every BR and at BR V the worst the sooner they move the Kikka to ground attacker the faster they gonna fix BR V balances for the rest of BRs they need to add more vehicles and equipment but for BR V the most important thing is to move the Kikka to Ground attacker right now is simply absolutely allies favor no ground attackers for Japan.
Some correction
The pak only in BR 4-5
BR 1,2,3 uses type 1 47mm.
With it was the 57 mm ATG

All the jets are fighter no? Don’t think the will switch the role.
There’s plenty for attacker/bomber planes to add but I don’t trust DF doing it right
I do wanna see Ki 49, Ki 67 Bombers

Well Kikka was not that’s why it has such limited ammo:
Nakajima Kikka - Wikipedia
But in game the devs desided that this ground attacker should be fighter… as soon as they move it to ground attacker the better for BR V balance. The P-47 is ground attacker it will be nice way to balance it Japan wont have a jet fighter but a jet ground attacker.

The reason we don’t see such bombers ingame (at least durectly controllable by the player) is very likely because they are “standard” bombers, and not dive-bombers. Given the fact that we don’t have any help for aiming the bombs, just like in War Thunder arcade, and also the fact that we can only control vehicles in first-person view, such bombers would be pretty much useless in the game right now, because it would be nearly impossible to aim with these.
And I am fine with it, because dive-bombing is already hard enough ingame. I think that such bombers should stay as AI when called by radio for now.
Currently, the performance of the early model Type 100 submachine gun has surpassed that of the American BP Level 4 Thompson submachine gun. Do you believe this indicates that Japan has already achieved full superiority? Or should we instead downgrade two Type 97 tanks in the game to BP Level 1, add one BP Level 1 machine gun for each nation, and add one aircraft with air spawn capabilities to both Tier 1 and Tier 2 air defense for Japan.
However, if all soldiers are to be equipped with bulletproof vests, it would require the use of costume cards. Ordinary players may not spend much money on access passes, so they don’t have many costume cards to equip their soldiers with plate armor. Most Soviet soldiers in the game are not equipped with plate armor. Only those veteran players or those who have spent a lot of money would carefully equip each member of their team with plate armor. So plate armor is ultimately rare. Besides, the movement speed reduction of the plate armor makes there being more chances of getting hit. Isn’t this also a form of reverse balance?

Well the Type 100 is exactly on the level of the BR II Thompson. BR II Thompson is not worse then Type 100 early:
As you can see type 100 early is close in comparison to Soviet and US machine guns they need just to put it in BR II and lower its damage a bit to be similar.
Not close there is no vehicles for Japan and lack of equipment specially fighter planes and ground attackers.
Type 97 tanks can be moved to BR I or tanks like T-70,M5A1 and PZ III J be moved to BR II. Since really PZ III J is a better tank then Type 97 tanks:
Well Japan needs more aircrafts in early BRs similar to Germany and USSR and US:

Here all the vehicles Japan needs in BR I and BR II.
Well better just remove them for the Soviets and Japan wont need them. But the Soviets also will need better planes at BR III,BR IV and BR V and Better ground attackers at BR IV and BR V and Better tanks maybe at BR V.

I’m very curious about how you managed to extract only the key words from my reply and post them in separate paragraphs within the same thread. I still have a hard time operating the forum.
Regarding the broader effort to strengthen the Japanese faction and bring its overall power closer to the other nations for better balance, most of us in the community are actually on the same page. It’s fine to start with Japan; the others can be adjusted gradually.
However, your specific idea to increase the Battle Rating of those three tanks is, frankly, a little baffling. The core issue is that Japanese tank design was historically behind for most of the war. The goal should be to adjust Japanese tanks to fit the current game balance by moving them down to the lower BRs they belong at, not to push other nations’ tanks higher just because their baseline designs are superior.
The Americans need to fight the Germans. The Germans need to fight the Soviets. The European theater was on a completely different scale of intensity. The focus should be there.
A much better use of time would be to move the two 10-round magazine-fed Experimental Automatic Rifle Type Hos from the Gold Card store to the regular Silver tech tree. This further replaced that counterfeit “Garland” rifle. Or maybe, finally downtier both the Japanese Tiger and the German Tiger E to BR 4 where they should be.

Yes it be unique.
I want something similar to be do with the snipers too
Like add scoped version of type 96, 99 and type 11 which will add more uniqueness to Japan.
Type Kō with scope as counter part to the garand sniper.
