Maybe in the future, we can meet the Pacific War.
And maybe if users want a battlefield other than the jungle
dev team may refer to the Battle of Manila
Beautiful buildings and cultural assets were lost in this battle and 100,000 citizens were killed.
Pacific battles of the Americans against the Japanese - this is in many games. I think it would be better to do how the USSR fought against Japan in 1945 (or you can do the 1938 Battles at Lake Hassan and the 1939 battles at the Halkin-gol River)
Take these additional info with you
Khalkhin Gol isn’t WW2, and Manchuria wasn’t really a fight. Furthermore, we already have the soviets in 2 soon to be 3 campaigns, its going to get boring grinding out their campaign. If anything, give the British against the Japanese in something like Burma or Hong Kong. finally, the Pacific theater is primarily an American and Japanese conflict with the other powers in the periphery, so any game which does pacific will lean towards the US involvement, as most of the fighting was done by US forces.
But agree otherwise. Manchuris campaign was like 11-days long and Soviet tanks would crush Japanese tanks and Mongolia isnt even WW2-related and more like a border-crisis.
Manchuria, Kuril Islands and Sakhalin in 1945 sure it would be much worse balance wise considering what will the Japanese do against PPSh spam but interesting battle.
Typically historians the Chinese front separate from the Pacific in a similar way the eastern and western fronts in Europe are separated for some reason. But yeah, the Chinese front would also be cool, if it were not a political landmine.
Sorry for that. Its just that ve heard that some people summarize (continental) Asia and US-island campaign together in Pacifics.
I’d rather not it’s you have russia in three campaigns already give it to the us it’ll be more pleasing there and a big money maker
I threw around the idea that Japanese engineers should have double build speed and double resources for building. That way traps/emplacements/whatever defensive structures can be placed all over map for helping with defense.
Guess wont help much against camping Jumbos though.
Forget the Jumbo, a normal Sherman already fucks over most of the Japanese stuff.
Cool idea, but I don’t believe we need more urban cqc campaigns. We already have one and will be getting a second. I’d much rather see a jungle, as we don’t have any of those currently in game.
Sure, I also want to fight in the dismal jungle. The Battle of Manila is probably not feasible
I’m not sure about western but at least Japanese historians called it “Asia-Pacific War” (アジア・太平洋戦争) because continental fronts are necessary part of the war: Japan declared war to America, Britain and Dutch (part of ABCD line) because they need resource from their colonies to continue war on China… (Although, in cold war era it was called “15-years war”, but it is outdated)
Well, about urban warfare in far east area, not only Manila but also Shanghai sounds interesting, too.
In the Shanghai there were one of the largest settlement and Japanese had the largest SNLF (naval garrison), Shanghai special naval landing forces which is specialized for urban battles with armored car, tanks and submachine guns. Also, Chinese had their best army including air force and armored forces.
In addition, different to Manila it will be easy to take balance, and both Chinese and Japanese have unique weapons. (We already see American forces in Normandy)
Yeah. Peole keep forgetting that Japense tanks suck so hard (against other tanks) that they cant take out any Allied tanks deployed after 1942.
Some people either consider giving them strong(er) AT/ field guns or protos/ tanks which didnt saw usage against US but I dont think that woudl make it better/ easier.
Guess a early-stage campaign against Commonwealth forces (Burma or Singapore)/ US forces (Philippines) would work (and for once Allies would be the main defenders here and not Axis again) but late-war would be hard (unless we get no tanks).
No good, before 1942, Chi Ha Kai doesn’t exist which means stuart is king. Post 1942, Chi Ha Kai exists to balance Stuart, but the Sherman exists too. Also, the Garand was standard issue for the US army (not marines though) by 1936, meanwhile Japan has a total of 0 semi-autos in service. The army did see service in every island across the island hopping campaign, so that means the Garand did too.
To western historians, the term Asia-Pacific theater does exist when talking about combat against the Japanese, but it is a common practice to segregate stuff that happened in Asia proper and in the Pacific islands for some reason.
