Type 92 Batallion gun for Rifleman squad

Engineers can build the Type 92 HMG, Machinegunners can build the Type 93 HMG and Anti-Tank squad can build the Type 1 47mm but what about the main core of any army?? So I’m suggesting to give the option for the Rifleman squad to be able to build a Type 92 gun, this is a 70mm caliber cannon created specifically for the infantry to be used on both as direct fire weapon or a mortar against enemy infantry, due to this the gun had the option to use HE ammunition or HEAT, and also had a max elevation of up to 70 degrees up and -4 down, it would be a great addition for Japan and could really help against infantry on the game, the muzzle velocity is relatively slow(198 m/s) but the HE might be useful against open top vehicles

It would be great to see this on game to give some uniqueness to the Rifleman squad and hopefully seeing it being used more often instead of dumping it after getting other classes, but what do you guys think?

This would be great if every nation had a build unique to that faction.

Most countries had some sort of 7.5cm infantry support piece available, this would likely be totally doable; generally I think rifleman squads are quite weak, so some sort of an engineer addition like this could be helpful

Rifleman squads can spam 9 GL rifles (or 18 GL with second slot) which makes them viable as a squad in the explosion spam meta.

Infantry support guns would be cool dont get me wrong but adding more HE slingers with the gunshields to protect the crew next to already the tanks might be a bit much and the greyzone might get a bit crowded.

all I wish it’s at dudes get a big cannon instead of the copypaste they have,your idea is gud

if the grenade launchers could work

I think it would be great for all factions to get an Infantry Support Gun, so we have an HE alternative to AT guns.
