Well I guess that is fair, but my point still stands. Just look at how many people complain about Moscow as well.
.Mason, the number! What the number say
Moscow is dead because dev forgot to update the campaign balance even if they keep buff and nerf weapon, the result was german lost all mid-range advantage with their weapons because now are at the same level/worst of soviet one
Normandy complain are different, both side cry for something but in the end is belanced in his way, because both us and german equipment is equal in strength
They do that and I will not be using them at all.
That kind od decision making is just a PITA.

Well yeah, Moscow is bust, but its a good example of how the devs would approach asymetrical balance in the Pacific, and I hope to god that doesn’t happen, hence why I am more partial to the idea of prototype and small batch weapons in the campaign for balance sake.

They proved they can’t balance stuff with equipment. They don’t know how, or it just doesn’t work.
Instead I’d love to see some new mechanics to advantage the Japanese faction, the same way Rising Storm did.
Japanese had inferior weaponry… but:
- Could banzai charge, which boosted allies speed and resilience and caused shell shock to enemies.
- could plant booby traps everywhere (God the messes that created! Gibs. Gibs everywhere!)
- were REWARDED for suicide bombing themselves with grenades and bombs! When doing so, the faction DID NOT lose tickets!!!
Those are examples, I’m certain DF could come up with their own set of rules if they tried a little.
Would be WAY better than the boring reduced/boosted caping time or reinforcements per cap…

Yeah those things might be interesting and may work for an infantry only game, but do we really want to be encouraging suicide bombing in this game? Besides, Japan has a bunch of really fun small batch weapons and prototypes that almost no one ever hears about, and it would be fun to use them for once. Seeing as this game has the lax historical accuracy rule of “if it existed we can add it”, I think it is the perfect place for such things.
Does anyone still believe it?
At this point the biggest positive surprise I expect from the devs is not the assymetrical pacyfic campaign but bipods that aren’t shit.
It never left mainland Japan
This game includes a lot of experimental, prototype, and rare weapons and vehicles so I wouldn’t be surprised if we get some of Japan’s rare/ experimental tanks
Level 40 unlock for battle of Guadalcanal axis : O-I super heavy tank
Using special tactic as balance is not a good idea for this game. Most player can’t even do flanking or using tactic, they just spam w key and go straight to cap. So those special tactic may not be used effectively by most player.
Looking at the number automatic weapon in this game, banzai charge would be shred easily.
We already have mine in the game but I will say it is not a very effective weapon.
I though most player hate explosive spam?
The Semovente 75/34 never left Italy either, so it’s fine.

Anyone want to place a wager we see the ZH29 in this campaign whenever it comes?
That’s why I wrote: "IF they tried a little…
Yes 
. But for Japan ONLY. Maybe as a new mechanic: all other faction from all other campaigns got back the kamikaze nerf, when if you crash before your bomb explode, your kills don’t count. Exept for Japan.
This way, you kill 2 birds with 1 stone: less kamikaze everywhere EXEPT for pacific Japan, and you get a meme worthy mechanic for the less well equipped faction.

Lets be real.
They screwed Tunisia and Stalingrad and Berlin isnt really free von retarded copy+paste either (still wondering why no MP28 as starter).
I just dont wanna get the Germans and Soviets again. Thats all I want for now.
Even if it’s faction locked, I still think it’s a terrible idea, especially considering that Japan is lacking least of all in terms of Aircraft with many of their CAS options being on par or superior to German or Soviet counterparts. Thus encouraging kamikaze is completely unnessacary. Japan only really has 2 areas where they struggle, Semi-auto/select fire rifles and tanks. None of your solutions really correct for those, but only makes the gameplay more gimmicky.
Yeah, we don’t need MP 40 or PPSh 41 again for the umpteenth time.
I hope we will get stuff like the V-2
… and Horten or Sturmvogel…
And Puppchen.
