I’m one of the players that never leaves a game so what you see below is actually real:
But yeah from my experience they don’t win very often

You mean those 3 days before ppl have realized the US is better and swapped all at once? Surely campaign should stay in a deep shit not only for 3 last weeks but forever because of it.

it was more than 3 days, and jap equipment is just as competitive as americans unless you are a shitter

we have to recognize that darklow\gaijin did an incredible job in terms of historical fidelity and realism, in the first days that the campaign launched the japanese won unstoppable, after a few weeks there are defeats after defeats, just like in real life, simply incredible (contains irony)

i could but you also think throwing ad hominins is a good idea sooo no
If you actually think the US and japan are equal in balance you are a mouth breather and you shouldn’t be allowed to make any decisions in life.
do you believe that equipment matters 100% of the time and not the skill of the average player or team coordination?

Ofc skill matters, but the weapons are TERRIBLE. I am trying to play this garbage right now and the fact that I can basically sleep on the US side and not even try speaks volumes itself.
The only reason the US was losing at the start was because the campers in M13’s kept doing just that. Camping, they did nothing else except play sniper elite in the distance while their team was being massacred.
Now its japanese being spawn killed by AA guns, AT guns and tanks combined.
So far the only thing japan has that actually works and isnt ABSOLUTE GARBAGE is the mortar and thats hard to mess up even for this joke of a dev team.
skill matters much more than the equipment, same with team coordination because it doesn’t matter how good the equipment if you are bad you won’t do well with it, and if you don’t have a decent team you don’t win.

No seriously, list out what is better for them that is worse for the US. I’ll wait.
So far their weapons have less ammo, take longer to reload, worse accuracy, much larger damage drop off via distance making it impossible to try long range fighting which was already impossible with their semi-auto rifles having the accuracy of a 18th century rifle (The Hei is a joke, even maxed out it cant hit anything at range and if it does its damage is so low that if you hit an AI it will instantly headshot you in return)
The tanks are a joke because you cant even use the machinegun without handicapping yourself, the gun penetrates but deals no damage to literally a half-track of all things.
Airplanes in this mode are entirely useless. Banzai charges are impossible and a joke since the AI will instantly react, do a 180 and headshot you because great design (Imagine making you harder to kill during a charge or harder to hit for the AI… must be difficult)
What else do they have…? Oh right the mine on a stick, used it as a joke for many battles… it has never worked and 90% of the time deals 0 damage to the tank and kills you only.
Snipers were okay, MGs were cool but doesn’t matter much since every american and their grandmother runs the browning which will kill you in one shot to the foot for whatever reason.
And thats about it I guess? So far every match ends with being spawn killed by the US players and heck why would skill even matter when the matchmaking puts a bunch of low levels on my team and on the enemy team there are 5+ US players maxed out spamming brownings, grenade launchers or M13s and you die before you can build a AT gun (And funny enough you are the only one on the team who can) and the tanks just fail to penetrate the thinnest sheet of rice paper because screw you thats why.
ATRs: jap 20mm rapes literally everythng while boys AT is just a gloried sniper rifle
attacker 1: japanese e13 has better performance, bombs and is more sturdier than the seagull
semi autos: type hei is the most accurate semi auto in this game while the m1c is the worst semi auto in this game, ostu has the best firerate of all semi autos while the johnson has the one of the slowest reload for a semi auto with only the g41 beating it for the slowest
Fighter 1: america wins this since .50s and bombs
fighter 2: japan wins here because 60 kilo and good flight preforms
Attacker 2: pretty even with japan getting the better small bombs while the larger bomb works for america
SMGs: reising has less ammo in the mag compared to the japanese one, m3 grease gun isn’t great in normandy nor is it here because of it’s slower RPM making type 100 better, Owen and mp28 is also balanced since mp28 is for more endurance based while owen is purely meant for trench fighting, type 2a and m1a1 are virtually the same gun stats wise
AT launcher: japan wins this category since the type 5 tube is literally just a bazooka with more penetration and better anti infantry abilities though the bazooka has it’s benefits like the sight and slight shorter reload
Bolt actions are by and large the same for both sides though japan does get an advantage via all BAs having bayonets (same with all but 5 of their weapons)
LMGs: first LMGs do well as big semi autos on both sides though japan does technically get the better end because it’s a 30 round magazine, second tier has japanese lmg be useful in short burst if hard scoped though the BARa2 is the best MG for most players as johnson will go through it’s ammo too fast unless you have trigger discipline while the japanese type 96 doesn’t and has a bayonet attached
odd things now
lvl 11: japan wins this as they get an all class unlock compared to the assaulter only shotgun that can not be upgraded
lvl 13: is a semi auto versus a bolt action, both have bayonets while the Bolt action will almost always get a kill (unless you hit limbs) while the garand is much better for cqc
the only real disadvantage japan has is tanks but even then they have some upsides to them like the Ha-Go gets APHE and can fit in trenches, ki-ne’s tiny size as well as APHE

I was playing this campaign some weeks and first days i always won with Japan.
What changed?Why changed? I ve read a recent update increasing time to capture by US faction and what i saw was they always winning.
In fact this is a situation i hope Gaijin is following and something need to change or otherwise this campaign will die soonly.
Not only me and not only here but in game a lot of people caomplaining about balance of pacific maps.
Who s responsible to do something? Only gaijin and developers from the game., but is taking too long until making the campaign playable and playable for all.
I accept loose but not loosing all the time.
The respect for all is a good thing to making Enlisted a better place for every player. Without players no game Gaijin never forget that.
playerbase changed
this was quickly rolled back btw

I also think, that the Japanese have quite good gear, when you play to their strengths. Both sides are balanced, but they require different playstyles.

Lets not debate the planes here because nobody uses them and if they do they are insane. Heck I wanted to fly the fighter for laughs and you know what happened? I turned on the engine and it tripped over itself I dont know how and exploded killing me. Something with the elevator. Heck they are so slow doing bombing runs for 1-2 kills is essentially pointless.
The AT gun is good I guess, I forgot about that because its almost impossible to get close enough to use it these days though the first few days I could actually delete M13’s with ease using it.
Like to me it seems you are talking about numbers on the page rather than actual use and performance in game.
I tried using the Hei to do a daily, idk in what universe this thing is according to you the most accurate because it couldn’t hit a standing AI in a doorway at like 300 meters because the shots kept flying off target. I was so mad at the end of it I wanted to actually find one in real life (the gun) and beat it to pieces against a rock.
I do not know about the Otsu as I haven’t gotten it because the last few days leveling is a joke because you cannot win a single fight, it’s impossible as japanese unless you run some full crew of people on a voice chat and I shouldn’t need to do that to enjoy the game and to win. If I can do it in any other campaign mode why is it so impossible in this one? Well minus the fact that the US side is always full of max level tryhards and on my team we got guys who dont even have the most basic things unlocked.
Like I would like to, for once after these past few days to do ONE battle and win ONCE with the Japanese instead of it devolving into a spawn camp spam kill by the Americans who are supposed to be defending.
Like I can see why in one game a player was just spamming phosporous grenades nonstop on defence. Impossible any other way because you instantly die. Once I can see where the wind blows I just get my mortar team and spam in a distance because hell no am I feeding some sweatlords who already got 150 kills barely trying.
Also I would have lowed to try some of the higher weapons, maybe they are better but I cannot comment on them because progressing 5% of the exp bar after every WASTE of my TIME battle as the japanese isn’t working and i’m more stressed than enjoying this joke of a game mode.
