New premium squad for Japan


There’s a new addition to the list of premium squads for Gold! A new premium Rider squad for the Japanese army with the Type-97 “Rikuo” motorcycle (BR II) is waiting for you in the shop!

This powerful 1200cc motorcycle is a licensed copy of the Harley-Davidson VL, with all parts manufactured in Japan from 1935. This sidecar version is armed with a Type 11 LMG. The squad includes two Rider class soldiers and an engineer with a submachine gun.

Why are all the cool clothes locked behind premiums for japan? First you lock the standard tan army uniform behind an premium tank squad and now this. All the normal squads get are mismatched uniforms with ugly colors

This is a legendary bike in Japan. It is also the origin of Japanese people’s faith in Harley-Davidson.
My grandfather used to tell me that a doctor came to the village on this motorcycle to make his rounds.

well, it looks alright.

even though i don’t fully understand why the type 97 is premium, and the Te-4 one is TT.

i mean, that’s very generous of you. and i am surprised.
but… still. a bit confused?

i’ll… probably get it either way.

however, i was hoping for more bikes.

like a mg 42 one:

even a kettenkrad despite not being weaponized:

and / or a soviet with a maxim:

and many more. i’m sure.

also, why can’t we customize bikes?

like, no ability to change the color… place decals or even decorations.

it is possible to do just that over the editor:

how come not in the base game?

Why do you keep updating the least popular things like bikes.

The biker community will obviously be thrilled.

But for the majority, this release will go unnoticed by them. :с

I think we should priorice they have a TT br 3 fighter, they don’t own one, if you wish have a br 3 one you need the event flame one or pay for premium

Very nice to see body armor finally arriving for Japan - the other major faction to use body armor to a larger degree!
