First, thank you very much for adding excellent campaign!
I have some opinions about Japanese forces in this game.
1. Issue about “MP28 (7.65mm)”
In history, Japanese used SIG-Bergmann M1920 (MP18/20) with 7.63x25mm. Also, it can use Type 30 Bayonet [三十年式銃剣] which is same as Type 38 infantry rifle etc.

p.s. I doubt RoF data of them. It seems too high.
2. Premium squadron with naval weapons
In spite of Type 3 Ka-Chi and Type 100 paratrooper SMG were naval weapons, it was used by Army unit.
In my opinion, it is good to replace these squads to naval one because they are historical and very unique!!
Type 3 Ka-Chi was used by Yokosuka District 16th Special Naval Landing Force [横須賀鎮守府第十六特別陸戦隊]. They were IJN’s armored unit prepared for Battle of Mainland Japan.
Type 100 paratrooper SMG (with folding stock) was developed for naval paratroopers, not army’s one.
Yokosuka District 1st Special Naval Landing Force [横須賀鎮守府第一特別陸戦隊] will be suitable because they were the oldest and largest naval airborne force. They participated airborne operation to Manado etc.
(note: Navy weapons are Type I Rifle, S1-100, Bergmann M1920, Type 100 SMG Special (paratrooper’s folding stock) and Type 3 Ka-Chi)
3. Issue of 6.5mm rifle cartridge
In spite of they used 6.5x50mmSR Type 38 cartridge (sharp nose), in-game model is old and outdated Type 30 cartridge (round nose). It seems strange.
4. Japanese voices
It’s already been mentioned by others so briefly. They are using very modern words which are imported from American words after war. It sounds very strange.
5. Strange broken Japanese texts on objects
It have unreadable broken text. I guess it means 石油 (petroleum), 可燃性 (flammability) but they are completely broken and very strange.
6. Strange flags in the hanger
There are Army’s flag (sun is center) above Navy’s fighters.
Also, put multiple flags seems very strange…
7. HESCO
It’s already been mentioned by others. Would please replace them to sandbags or others??
8. Decal texts
Quality of some decals seems terrible. At least they are readable but they are strangely distorted letters.
In addition, decal of 9th Tank Regiment is completely broken. Apparently it seems to be written as “うつ九と”, but it does not make sense. I guess it is “うりんど” (Donryu, in modern spelling どんりゅう), a decal for commander vehicle of 4th company of the 9th tank regiment.
