First of all, I must agree and agree with the developers for updating the Japanese faction, because compared with other factions, Japan, which lacks supplements, obviously needs updates more
However, I think the developers are entering a vicious cycle of “arms race”. When one faction gets a good tank, its opposing faction must get a better tank. In the end, the tanks are constantly updated and iterated, and the result is that the infantry suffers and the balance is deformed
This is very obvious in the other three factions
Other problems are often ignored by such an arms race, such as the Soviet AVT-40 still has 5 fewer bullets than the FG42-2
Before getting the Tu2-S, the Soviet air force was as weak as the Japanese Air Force
Similarly, before the United States got the RPzB, the M9 bazooka performed significantly worse than the Panzerfaust 100
Although some problems have been solved, please note that these problems took a long time to finally be solved
So will Japan repeat the same mistakes? Or does it really have time to wait? This is no longer a young game. Will players really spend so much time waiting for developers to finish playing the arms race game before slowly filling in those more acute deficiencies?
Admittedly, Tiger is a good addition to the Japanese faction, but the Japanese faction already has HORI and CHIRI in BR5. What the developers need to do is to make them belong to two different teams instead of continuing to add more
Has the addition of Tiger solved the core problems of the Japanese faction?
No, the low-BR Japanese faction still has no air-deployed aircraft in the Pacific, and Japan has no air-deployed attack aircraft in all BR Pacific battlefields
The machine gunners of Japanese tanks will still compete for the position of tank loaders, and Japanese tank machine guns still cannot be fired from the gunner’s perspective
The Japanese air force still needs a lot of updates
Japan still has no BR5 assault rifles
The Japanese vehicle team is still insufficient, and the loss of vehicles cannot be replenished as quickly as other factions
So many acute problems cannot be solved by an arms race. Tiger is good, but I hope these more serious problems will be solved first. After that, the developers will find that even without Tiger, the Japanese faction will be a normal functioning faction, and players will not continue to complain.
