New Campaign for Japan. Invasion of the Kuril Islands

We currently play 4 factions:
USA - Tunisia/Normandy/Pacific
Germany - Tunisia/Normandy/Berlin/Moscow/Stalingrad
USSR - Moscow/Berlin/Stalingrad
Japan - Pacific

Currently, the Ardennes Campaign for the German Army vs. the USA is announced.

Why don’t you add a separate Campaign for Japan instead of Arden?

Everyone knows well that Russian troops, after occupying Berlin, were evacuated to take over the Kuril Islands. To help the US Army defeat the Japanese Army. This is called the Invasion of the Kuril Islands in History. The invasion began on August 18 and ended on September 1, 1945. Thanks to this, it would be possible to open a completely new Battle Theater.

USSR vs Japan on the Kuril Islands.
The advantage of this would be the fact that the Japanese Army would have a second opponent, apart from the USA, in the form of the USSR.

Regards.

In the future, this makes more sense for the game than the Ardennes Offensive, which only gives winter maps to Normandy :slight_smile:

It is ok, the Japanese have good infantry units instead. I hate when people think balance is about mirroring everything including terrain. The only problem with such tanks would be greyzone camping which should be removed from the game completely

As long as it’s balanced, there’s nothing wrong with it, but I doubt the Japanese army’s weapons would be able to fight the Soviet army

Currently, the game uses a large number of Prototype weapons. For example the announced Tokyo Arsenal SMG. There is nothing stopping you from adding prototype tanks like the “Type 5 Heavy” to the game. :slight_smile: This is a game. As long as you don’t shoot lasers here and the weapons are actually assigned to a given faction, what’s the problem? A really nice change would be if the Japanese Army fought against an opponent other than the USA.

In addition to fighting in the Pacific, the Japanese Army fought against China and the USSR.

China vs Japan. Battles for Shanghai.
USSR vs Japan. They are fighting over the Kuril Islands.

Variety? Why not.

I agree with you, the Germans have too much of representation already. I want Italy separated too.

Good Idea! In the early stages of the war, didn’t the Japanese also fight against the Russians while they were both trying to set up spheres of influence in China?

As I mentioned in other comments: the Russo-Japanese war before 1941 is similar to the Soviet-Japanese war in 1945, but the latter is more interesting for the game, because both sides have more advanced weapons than at the time of the border skirmishes.
And I think the game would be balanced enough to pit Japan against the USSR.

And yes: this campaign would be something unique and not “Normandy 2.0”. But: The Battle of the Bulge introduced African-American soldiers to Europe and was the last major German “victory” in its defense.

As long as i can escape boredom of the Berlin i’m all for it. Italy also should get new campaign based around the Italy and Greece, also where are Egyptian maps with El Alamein?

This is a great idea and would give both the USSR and Japanese a new enemy to fight! They are adding a lot more Japanese gear now to help them fight late game opponents. Not to mention It would add really cool maps and introduce a battlefield that has never been seen before in a FPS ! @ChuchaDrucha Will the boys please consider this campaign idea?

Good infantry my 4ss mate, if they cant even fight M2s, you think they have chance to even fight against Fedorovs, AS44 and AVT40?

Then allies don’t need Pershing or super Pershing they have better cas

skill issue

lol

Call it skill issue when you are the receiving end of it buddy

Japanese also got some heavy tanks, that are not in the game yet. BUT.

fact is some sirius japanese armor gonna come in along side M26 Pershing.

Maybe learn how to play instead of trolling, I never had a problem winning as Japan. But as the saying goes: An army of sheep led by a lion is better than an army of lions led by XxNelsonSHxX

Oh sorry, guess using bolties actually can beat Fedorovs and AVT40s, I wonder why no one use bolties in Berlin before merge…

Like I said, call it skill issue when you are the receiving end of it

Ahh no no those are bad guesses. That’s why you are losing, it is not recommended to use bolt action rifles against such weapons! And for your information, no one was using these in Berlin because those were bad on those certain maps you see

Let me know if you will need some more of good advice Mr xxxNewpersonSPHxxx
