As it is,japan has a lot of holes in the TT that need to be filled,and this post intends to reduce the number of holes and add some other stuff into it to make it more filled out,as well as a few changes to make life better.
Type 26 revolver,sidearm
a japanese double action revolver,not really that much to say about it.not needed to any degree,but just something new for japan is welcome,even in the form of a bad revolver.
Type 94 75mm mountain gun
A replacement for the 47mm gun currently used for the AT role (the thing is near useless,it lacks the pen it should so it can’t pen enemy BR3 tanks frontally unlike the US gun,which does so with ease,and has HE filler that feels similar to a 20mm shell or something ludicrously small like that)doing this will allow japan low tier to not suffer as badly from greyzoning shermans and other tanks with a fair amount of armour,when the thing meant to penetrate things doesn’t do that job very well.
Chi-He,BR1 tank
having the same 47mm cannon as discussed above,if used at BR1 where it should be,AT effectiveness should be satisfactory for enemy tanks at a similar BR,take the stuart,A13,crusader,ect.,but would suffer (like all other japanese tanks at BR1) from poor infantry support ability.

B5N2 → BR2
no forward armament and not that much better of a bombload to show for it,while also having an incredibly underpowered engine.no reason it should stay BR3.
D4Y1 → BR2
This plane is severely outgunned and outmatched at BR4,where the majority of games are upteirs into BR5 matches that are almost guaranteed to have one person in a US plane at once,which absolutely obliterate this plane.It has the armament of a BR2 plane,2 7.7mm MGs,and a bomb roughly equivalent of the 1000 pounder on the dauntless (which also has extra bombs and 50 cals).It’s kind of stupid you get a less powerful plane then the dauntless at a BR where you fight the strongest planes in game.
D4Y2,BR2 bomber
Basically the same as the plane above,but the 500kg is switched out for a 250kg,but you gain 4x Type 3 No.1 Mod.28 Mk.1 rockets,so the the US can feel just how fun it is to fight rockets at low tier.

Ki-43-III otsu,BR3 fighter
An army plane that would get air spawn that preforms similarly to the Zero,but trades the 7.7s for more 20mm ammo,and the 60kg bombs are upgraded to 100kg bombs.

D4Y3,BR3 bomber
the last D4 you will have to get,this version has 3x 250kg bombs and a 13mm rear gunner,but otherwise is identical to to the Y1.

81 MM recoilless rifle,BR3 AT
something to go to BR3 so japan can fight higher BR tanks without having to use at that point obsolescent BR2 launchers,this would help with the AT situation having 120mms of pen.
A6M5 Hei,BR4 fighter
A plane with 20mms (low ammo as per usual) and 13mm machine guns,but has 10x Type 3 No.1 Mod.28 Mk.1 rockets,would be a nice counterpart to the AP4c

B7A2,BR 4 Bomber
the armament of the D4Y1 on steroids,the 500kg and 7.7mms replaced with a 800kg and 20mms (again,low ammo count).

Te 4,BR4 LMG
Infantry modified aircraft gun (one barrel this time so you can actually hit things now!) with a 69 round pan magazine
(scroll down and some info about it is near the bottom)
Chi-Ri II,BR 4 tank
this would be a much more worthy contender for BR4 rather then the Chi-To,which is just barely BR4 worthy.it has a main cannon which is almost identical,but has a unique tray loader which speeds reload up significantly,and a little more armour to better fit the climate of the competition.It also features a (let’s be honest gimmick since it sucks even at BR1)37mm cannon in place of the machine gun.
