Another fantastic thread by @GasMasters-live. Japan should be the main focus of the upcoming few updates at the very least. @MajorMcDonalds I would request you to pass on this wonderful thread in its entirety to the developers for their kind consideration.

@Aussie-Tachanka , @GasMasters-live I just got home for now Im gonna just mention Silencers .
Japan purchased Maxim silencer, these were tested on Type 38 rifle and type 11 MG.
Some Companies also made Maxim silencer copies
The patent above was made by Kiyoshi Kogure , His silencer was also tested with Type 11 MG.
The patent above is from Rihei Katori wich was also designed for type 38
The patent above was his(Kiyoshi Kogure) simplification of the earlier silencer which was tested with type 38.
Kihachi Kato also made silencer for type 11 but there is no indication of test.(You can clearly see a model of type 11 on second patent)
Before I finish , documents that states silencers were tested with type 38
Also before I forget I’ve read a document that mentioned Japanese pistol being tested in China with silencer I have lost it but gonna look for it(BTW Huge thanks for Delavr)

Wow, absolutely incredible to finally see these with my own two eyes. If you manage to track down that pistol too that’d be awesome, either way you and or Delavr should absolutely make a suggestion post about.
Finally after all this time it’d be amazing to see Japan finally get a suppressed set of weapons lol.

I would like to see them in game but unfortunately I don’t think DEVs can implant these , they are too lazy

I don’t know why, but here is a better image of the scary ZH 29.
And yes, I created a large general topic about Japanese weapons on Ru Forum. There are a lot of interesting things there.
Here I write about silencers.

Wow, absolutely incredible. I sincerely hope one of the helpers is able to forward this stuff.
I especially would adore seeing suppressors come to Japan, also the Prototype No. 1 Nippon Special Steel Company rifle is extremely fascinating. Honestly I’d like to see either this rifle or the Type Hei Late Long with bipod added to fill the BR4 gap in Japan’s tech tree.
If the Hino was able to be implemented in the game, I believe anything is possible for Japan. The Nippon rifle being especially detailed should definitely help with implementation.

Hey @GasMasters-live thanks for the shout out (and for not adding the Ki-67 as a CAS 
).
However I have one small correction. The P1Y1 carries 2× 500kg bombs, not just one. As can be seen here in the War Thunder Wiki:

No problem, and thanks for pointing that out, I’ll fix that

I disagree with Chi-To’s going to BR III
Chi-Nu is fine at BR III just implement this fix (Community Bug Reporting System)
Chi-Nu II can be high end BR III
Source ‘Tank Usage May 1945’
Here it states the Chi-Nu could penetrate frontal hull armour of M4 Sherman from 600 metres

Found it!
P. S.
By the way, this document is interesting because it was made in 1942, I can suggest that research into weapon silencers continued from the early 1930s until at least the middle of the war, if not until its end.

This would be huge if true. A hyperburst smg would be amazing.
