A Solution for a Japanese “Ampulomet”

Japan should receive its own “flame launcher” like the Soviet Ampulomet or Allies’ Northover Projector. Some have suggested giving them a captured Ampulomet, but I disagree with that. While a captured weapon is this game’s go-to routine, I prefer a little immersion. It’s good when faction’s arsenal is as authentic as possible

A captured amp does not make sense for Japan. The Soviet’s did not introduce the Amp until 1941 and it only had a limited service. While some could say maybe Germany lent one to Japan, I think there is a much better option

The Type 89 “Knee Mortar” also had incendiary shells. I propose this Type 89, propped up on a sandbag, be Japan’s unique building for the flamethrower squad. You’ll be able to lob them like the Ampulomet and Northover

why not

Its about filling out the factions’ arsenal, like how the Soviets are using a British AT gun and Japan German

This could be the ideal equivalent. Hopefully we’ll get it and not end up with something like… “Captured Northover” or “Captured Ampulomet”…
