We already know that Tech tree in Japan currently has these automatic rifles
BR2: Hei type (normal), Otsu type
BR3:type 4
BR5: Hei type automatic rifle
So? What other automatic rifles can Japan add to the Tech tree of BR4? It’s better to have 10 magazines like STV40, G43, and ZH29
BR4 Japanese is completely meaningless, it’s guaranteed uptier against SF rifles.
I think devs should either focus on giving Japanese proper BR5 AR or giving US BR4 rifle.
The original br4 rifle, they just moved it to br3
needs to go back to br4
I remember reading that the Type 4 rifle had problems with reloading because its prototypes were basically modified M1 Garands chambered for the 7.7x58mm Arisaka round. Therefore, a 10-round detachable magazine was considered (possibly the Type 5, though I’m not certain). For the game, why not include a Type 4 variant with a 20-round magazine from the Type 99 LMG? The same could be done with the Type Hei automatic rifle, just rechambered for the 7.7x58mm Arisaka.
Japan’s best bet for BR4 rifle is ZH-29.
Japan captured ZH rifles from China and Siam, Japan’s ally purchased and used ZH-29 rifles.
The rifle is already in Axis tech tree, but I haven’t seen anyone use it in the past year anyway since most people prefer G43 instead.
Late Type Hei long.
The Japan faction has its matchmaking only BR1-2, 2-3 and 4-5. A BR3-4 game will never exist. This is an issue left over from history. So Japan BR4 is meaningless.
Not really. M1 Garand is still stronger.
M1 stronger how
Lol the “history issue” from 2 months ago? I don’t see why a br3-5 game for Japan will never exist consider dev already change the matchmaking rule multiple times and they literally said that they might modify the matchmaking again in the future.
hey don’t let off on me lol
M1 + Johnson combo = 18 rounds. What Japan has at BR3 with such power?
Wow the m1 johnson gun but cereal a broken combo does not make one half better.
M1 is stronger because of better sights, accuracy, faster reload, and higher hit power. I’m pretty sure it shoots faster too. The only thing the type 4 has going for it is 2 extra bullets (not really an advantage, especially at almost 2x reload), and ever so slightly less recoil.
I don’t know why people say the type 4 or Gewehr 41 are at an advantage to the M1, when they reload in more than double the time, have less accuracy, and less damage.
reload time only matters if the base time is meaningful one tenth a second vs 2 tenths a second is meaningless, damage only matter in comparison to how many bullets it takes to the body or head to down, if it takes one bullet for both damage is irrelevant, accuracy is only relevant for bots and fully automatic weapons, reduce to semi auto the guns accuracy is not going to influence you’re chance of a hit, if you were going to hit the guns accuracy is not going to change it, as for sights you can have the m1 sights ill take 2 more bullets, its like someone who claims a bayonet is enough, i shoot i want a shooting gun.
No, Japan should have Japanese weapons! I would also like to see Type Ko stats improved and Type Ko introduced into the upgrade path as an alternative to Type 4.
