Well there is better option:
SU-8 is the best ground attacker really that soviets can get

Not commenting because theres not plenty more to add, commenting because everybody is incomplete…less complete than the soviet BR 5 Air tree. Others need focus/their turn first

Yeah Japan BR I BR II and BR III planes must be main focus and they even have Ki-44-II Otsu in the editor…this plane will fix a lot of problems Japan has …I have no idea why they are not adding it.

Japan is the one tree i havent finished. Mainly because japan ground forces dont interest me (much) but i loooooooove their airforce and navy.
Saving playing them until the air tree gets their more interesting assets

Now I definitely know my knowledge of the WT soviet tech tree is outdated when this thing exists.
That’ll do.

I’m very very excited to try out the Kikka, even though it doesn’t have too many rounds between those two 30mm guns I still very much look forward to deleting enemy aircraft and bombers with them. Along with having a nice hefty 500kg bomb.
As for the ofenrohr I do wish Japan would be receiving a native design for a higher BR anti tank weapon.
As many have pointed out in this thread and before in prior suggestion posts, there’s 2 options that should be relatively easy (in terms of Japan) to implement.
A BR3 launcher the Type 4 9cm, which is just a higher calibre and larger version of the Type 4 7cm with a backwards tripod.
And a BR4 option being the Ji Te Dan rifle grenade for the Type 97 AT rifle. Functionally it’s just a Type 97 with blank rounds to propel a HEAT grenade. With an upward max performance estimated to be around 250mm of penetration.
As for this about such.
I do understand why it’s being added for the meantime, I do appreciate as someone who plays almost exclusively Japan, that we now have an option to deal with tanks with more ease at higher BRs. I’m pretty sure I even remember something along the lines of a contract between the Japanese and Germans for a couple Panzerschrecks. So thank you for at least giving us something to help; I’ll finally have a reason to reassign some of my soldiers in BR4 and up to have some AT soldiers instead of assaulters lol.
In saying this though, it would be peace of mind for myself and I’m certain many others that at the very least, the two aforementioned options of AT weapon have been at least forwarded to the developers for consideration thank you.
On a final note. I know the Su-9 development started prior to the end of WW2 and that the update main theme is jet fighters. But I think a rocket powered plane would have also been a good option instead, like the Bereznyak-Isayev BI-1.

I’m not a fan of the 1946 stuff. I also am a fan of it but only if you just go full bore into wunderwaffe secret weapons over normandy 1946 shenanigans. I want to see the maus, IS-3, the entire superheavy american tank project, the horten, the P-59, all of it. We’re already well into it with the T20s, TT Fedorovs and AS/AT-44s, and half the japanese TT, might as well go all in. You’d be filling a void that is very rarely filled. Last time was, what, BF1942’s secret weapons expac?

Still waiting for our console ultimate USSR bundle sale that was offered exclusively to pc players in Febuary,(Febuary 21st to the 24th) but was never offered to console players. Will it be COMING SOON?
I’m not entirely against giving Japan German gear because they did share technology, but I felt those instances should’ve been rare like say event prizes. It would’ve been perfect to keep it RARE and SPECIAL
How about instead give Japan their prototype Type 4 90mm AT launcher
I am hoping this can be rectified before the update
Also remove the Allied Panzerschreck and give them the M20 Bazooka. It was designed for the war so in my book its fine to add

Devs: Why is the Allied launcher limited to flametrooper squads, while the German ampulolet can be constructed by engineers?
Also now that we have jets in game please consider the Korean War. You already have like 95% of Korean War weapons in game.

The usual time between the announcement and launch of the major update is about 2 weeks.
Burma pre order than the update 18 days later
Guerrilla warfare pre order than update 15 days later

They are also lagging behind schedule “because of that one pesky platform fr fr” and in three weeks they must make VE events on time.
I guess test server next week and update in one more week after that.

Could say the same for ww1 considering a lot of the bolt actions were used in ww1 as well and war thunder recently added ww1 tank assets.
