Assault Rifles for Allies and Japan

Since Germany has a bunch of Assault Rifles from BR2-5, and the Soviets have a smaller assortment, the Allies and Japanese need some to benefit the event Assault Engineers from last year.
The Allies have the Hyde M1944 which was primarily in 20 and 30 round magazines, but also had 10 and 15 round ones for testing and trial purposes. This would make it like the German MKB 35 and 42…event weapons?
Japan has the new Type 2a which REALLY needs to be bumped to 30 rounds for the BR that it is in, leaving the 20 round version for a lower BR, then add a 15 round as the Japanese need help.

  • I want to see these added as event weapons.
  • I want these as TT options.
  • I don’ want Allies or Japan to have new historically accurate toys.

The poll is rigged. Some kind of fraud. The Type 2a with a 30-round mag is actually needed. But the Hyde is a different story. It’ll be stronger than the German equivalents because the MKb-35 has a 400 RPM rate of fire, while the MKb-42-15 has 500. So its BR should be higher just because it’s more comfortable to shoot. And of course, the phrasing “historically accurate weapon” is hilarious - I had a good laugh. It’ll be historically accurate with any magazine, since it’s just a paper design.

Hyde is too powerful. MKB has a quite slow fire rate that makes it barely useable.

especially with its buff

I’m fine if they nerf it, the Assault Engineers are only good on BR5 or 4 for Japan because of thier Assault weapons, but Japan you would just take the Type Hei anyways. They need the addition of other lower tiered Assault weapons like Germany has access too.

I’m just saying the M2 Carbine should be an Assault rifle, and we could get a field modified 15 round M1 Carbine also

I’m bored of type Hei in br5.

I’d gladly use a good AR, but there’s none (the 20 rounds joke in br4 is to be forgotten)

I’d gladly use a br5 smg, but there’s none (Tokyo was rightfully placed in br4 before the unwanted change. It remains br4 worthy).

I sometimes use semis in br 5 with other factions, as there are some good ones from br4… but Japan has none.

I’d use good attacker planes in br 5… but Japan has none. (2x 100kg? For br5? Nope.)

As for tanks… Japan only have a tank destroyer.

There’s the funny twin barrel mg I suppose… I do bring some for the funsies…

Japan needs love.

Japan is missing a LOT…it’s sad that you can get a shielded Type Hei on BR4…they really have nothing. I’d be fine with a 50 round Type 100 late.

But not as an Assault Rifle.

Technically automatic .30 are

They are still classed as SMGs in game.

Hyde is pretty strong but fedorov is still king
