So far, Japan is the only faction that still doesn’t have a Br5 infantry premium squad.
What if they have a unique squad with a 20mm cannon that could destroy light armored vehicle.
The 20 mm Type 99 Mark 1 Model 11 is a flexible-mounted version of the Type 99 gun, which often mounted on bombers such as the P1Y1 and G4M1. The flexible variant usually fed with 45 round drum magazine.
Type 99 without ejection guide
Here’s it’s specification
- Total length:136 cm
- Weight:23.2 kg
- Muzzle velocity: 600m/s
- ROF:535 rounds/min
- Available belts
It’s only a bit heavier than the PTRS(20.3 kg), which means you can still aim while standing. I think this beautiful weapon is definitely worth to be added as BP weapons or premium squad weapons. Who need to build a heavy machine gun nest if you have this unique weapon 
.
To make this weapon not too overpower, the easiest way is to make it a prone mechanic weapon, or make the recoil hard to control. To be honest, due to its massive recoil, even if you can use full-auto while standing, you can only realistically fire it in 2-round bursts, which is still a balanced nerf.
Do you want Japan get the Type 99 Mark 1 Model 11 cannon?
- Yes, as BP weapons.
- Yes, as premium squad weapons.
- No

Maybe as a Anti-tank rifle or portable anti-air cannon? I mean, it would be a bit overpowered as an MG even at BR V, it would be heavier than any other MG and deal 150-200 damage. It could use 15-20 rounds box magazines, since it was based on the eastern Oerlikon 20mm cannon, and be an anti-material weapon.
Finally found a clear picture of the left side of this cannon

Actually, the game already has an almost finished model of this machine gun.
You just need to take it off the plane, improve the textures, animate it, and then you can send it into battle.

I thought that idea before, however, the penetration is too low for an anti tank weapon, it can only penetrate jeeps or APCs. Besides, its Br would be an issue, even as a Br4-5 weapons, I believe people are still gonna use it as a machine gun. So it’s better to add it as a machine gun to fit its purpose; the capability to penetrate light armored vehicles is just its added value.
Unfortunately, Japan didn’t adopt the 15-20 rounds box magazine, the smallest magazine is a 30 round drum, here’s the only I picture I found.
By the way, despite being an autocannon, it’s lighter than Type 93(42kg), DShK(34kg), and M2HB(38kg)
Is absolutely beautiful, but i think it’s a bit much to be a MG. It’s far too unrealistic to have a soldier full auto this thing while standing. Would love to see it incorporated in some way though

Yeah, but Type 93, DShK and M2HB are fixed HMGs, plus this would be a 20mm MG, and 20mm weapons in this game deal +200 points of damage (230 for S-18 100, 287 for Type 97), basically a single-shot automatic weapon. It’s still too heavy for an infantry weapon, the M1919A6 and Maxim-Tokarev are some of the heaviest LMGs in the game and both weight 14 kg. This weapon could work as a similar weapon to the luftfaust, enough to destroy lightly armored vehicles, planes flying low and saturating enemy positions with HE shells.
20mm infantry machine gun? Lmao wtf.
Also… do you have evidence of this having a bayonet? So it can be mounted?
And jesus… I swear to god only japs get away with suggesting this shit

That make sense to me, seems like it’s more suitable for secondary weapon slot. A Br 5 AT gunner squad with this weapon is still very powerful, imagine you have a 45 round Luftfaust that can fire each round and have ability to penetrate light armor 
.
I’ve edited the original post to add more details on how the weapon’s nerf works in practice.
what a beauty for get added in the game…

I would say more for AT soldiers instead or something and reduce the mag capacity to like 15 and you can only 1 spare mag a guy with 2 MGs one being that Monster would be too OP and because is premium It would have like 4 or 5 of those autocanons

Kinda interesting
But ig the question would be finding a balanced implementation for it

if we can’t use it as infantry weapon, let it be unique HMG structure or Anti Air weapon, if we use as infantry, force it to be prone or leaning in a structure, like sandbags or ground

Maybe on an event squad as a unique buildable? Or as others said, possibly as an anti tank/anti air gun, similar to the fliegerfaust. Not sure how the balancing would work.

I would love this as a HMG buildable for BR4 and BR5

I think it should be a Br 4-5 premium AT gunner squad, and use it as secondary weapon. Since it’s a large capacity autocannon, it will be a forced prone weapon, and only have 1-2 45 round magazine.

No, it’s completely useless. Especially at 5 BR. Are you kidding?
Otherwise, I support this topic; it’s interesting.
