Yeah. True mate.
Just want to comment to +1 really, all really cool suggestions, only thing is the Ho Ro should be BR3 I think, since it is a really big gun though as you noted, highly vulnerable as well.

As far as I know, the Nambu Type 2 (6.5mm) should look different, it should look like an earlier version like the one we have on the rank 4 study.
But the Nambu Type 2 (6.5mm) version should have a different magazine and bipods similar to those on the Type 99 rifle.
Here’s a good illustration of what he should look like.

Basically a replica of the late 1942 version, it is also called the Nambu Type 2 B, it was intended to be mounted on vehicles, because of this it does not have a bayonet mount, it has been replaced by a vehicle mount, and there is a cartridge case bag mount on the right side of the weapon.
I’d like to add the Nambu Type 2 A version with 30-round magazine and bayonet to the upgrade branch, because the bayonet makes the weapon more interesting.

Here’s a picture of Ji Te.
Here’s a whole bunch more photos.
If you look closely, you can see a scope mount on the left side.

We need this, especially the stronger AT, BRV mortar and extra customisation … and of course the bambo spear.
But, is the AR version of the Type 2A for real? Did that really excist or is it even more elusive than the Tokyo Arsanal?

As far as know it was made to be carried by tankers not to be a mount weapon thats why they had to cut bayonets also the B in the name comes from British troops testing it here
Modification of the experimental submachine gun Type II A model 1942
Type II A of the 1942 model was slightly shorter than the 1934 model and did not have a device for attaching a bayonet.
The maximum set rate of fire is 820 rounds per minute. Culd be fed either 30 or 50 round.
The total length of the barrel with chamber is 241.3 mm, the rifled part with a bullet transition is 220 mm. The number of riflings is 6, with a width of 3.175 mm, a depth of 0.1524 mm, and a rifling stroke of 254 mm.
The outer surface of the barrel has segmental longitudinal lobes to increase the intensity of heat removal during prolonged shooting.
The British test group tested a modification of the Type II A submachine gun of the 1942 model showed excellent performance in automatic fire, was characterized as an easily controlled and accurate weapon with low weight, with minimal barrel drift and low recoil.

It is not necessary for mounting on tanks, but rather for armored personnel carriers and motorcycles, so instead of a bayonet, this modification has a special fastening device in front.
And this modification could be used both by the crews of the equipment and in the equipment itself, if you remove the weapon, such as from the DT 29, Type 91, Type 97 and so on.
Where did you get this picture?
