Season Of The Rising Sun (Blueprint How to Finish the Japanese Faction Taishō Reforms version 1337) 📜

Greetings commanders,

This topic is about the new equipment and vehicles that are essential for the Empire of the Rising Sun in order to crush the other factions. For now the war may go well but we must improve our arsenal for the arms race is not over.

With enough time, any man may master the physical. With enough knowledge, any man may become wise. It is a true warrior who can master both.

During this event have noticed that Japan is far from finished faction it has the worst ground attackers and the fighters are not equipped with good bombs so I made a blueprint how to finish the faction. Here are the most essential things that can be added so Japan can be a fully working faction.

For the Airforce I have tried to add good combination of army and navy aircrafts so on every BR you have a choice for navy and army fighters and ground attackers. I think this captures the spirit of Japan as a naval Power.

This reforms will be necessary in order to continue our path and follow our divine destiny for our victory is predetermined ! The day of destiny has arrived. The Empire of the Rising Sun has risen. The western barbarians will bow before us… or their nations will cease to exist.

It won’t be identical to the premium right? Or are you suggesting to add a variant of it like the long version or the short barreled version?

Im suggesting to give the premium squad instead of Ko rifle this one:

And to give them a Radio operator so they are more comparable to the US Engineer premium squad this weapon is better then Ko rifle.

I don’t think changing a pre existing premium squad is a very good idea.

In fact I think you had a better idea in this older thread:

Its more of a legacy squad like the Johnson squad that was premium in the past if they upgrade it a bit will make more sales instead of having just version of the Ko rifle thats gonna be in the TT.

That was an oversight caused by the merge, and judging by the reaction that people had to the “collectible” Johnson squad, i don’t think people like being sold back free content as a collectible and I don’t think owners of the type ko rifle squad would very much like to see the squad they paid money for be given out for free in the tech tree.

Well they will have more value for their money they will get a better very unique weapon and a 1+ soldier radio operator

Uh. Seems the most sane thing in the post and literally true (at least below BR5).

cough cough Jagdpanther in German tech tree.

From what I was aware, those who paid for squads didn’t necessarily pay for the squad, they paid for the support of the game. Plus, the premium squad will still exist, so they still get the bonuses from that.

Maybe I’m just biased because I’m a F2P player, although that will change soon.

Similar but different, the current tech tree jagdpanther isn’t identical the the premium, also I would have preferred if the current tech tree jagdpanther would have been a event tank, so owners of the premium don’t feel cheated that they’ve paid for something that is now given out for free.

Supporting the Devs is a secondary concern to most, Enlisted isn’t a charity it’s a business , most owners of premium squads exchanged their money for a product, not out of the good in their hearts.

And they would get a extra bonus of a unique weapon that isn’t in the tech tree if it stayed exclusive to the premium squad.

On paper it sounds fine, but people bought the type ko rifle squad with the intention of recieving a type ko rifle squad not with the intention of having their premium unit completely changed later down the line.

Well they can make the weapon for this squad changeable so you are getting 5 unique rifles and if you wish you can equip the Ko rifle on this squad. Like the Soviet Paratroopers.

Why complicate it so much, why not keep the type ko (standard length version) exclusive to its respective premium squad and then put another variant of it in the tech tree (perhaps the long or short variant).

Then you could have your other premium squad idea (with the different rifle) added as a separate premium.

That way the current owners of the type ko dont feel mislead or cheated. Everyone gets a version of the type ko and Japan gets a new premium. It’s a win ,win!

Because players gonna lose the uniqueness of the squad this way they will be happy. The squad will remain very unique. The other option is to simply turn it to a legacy squad but shame for the unique outfit that they have…

I was under the impression that the standard version was still premium, and it was either a short or long going to the tech tree. That’s why I argued that it didn’t matter too much.

Oh ok, that’s understandable. :+1:

No it won’t, it will be significantly less unique considering that it’s main attraction (the type ko) will be in the tech tree.

Well same thing happened with the Johnson they needed it for the TT but they can have the same fate like the Johnson squad.

No, it’s not the same thing that happend to the johnson, the johnson was a tech tree unlock in some campaigns but a premium in others , so the Devs decided to keep it a free item (the same is true for the Owen, reising and gewher 41 “collectible squads”).

The type ko has never been a tech tree unlock, so it’s completely different from the johnson’s situation.
