Hey guys I am making my opinion known and I would love to hear feedback from the devs and other players.
My friend and I have been playing enlisted quite regularly for the past week and we have been playing with “random faction” turned on. We have constantly been thrown into games playing as the Japanese against a formidable opposing force of Soviet players the thoughts of experience in equipment. Regardless of what we were playing BR II or BR IV and got up/down tiered. It was always the same mix. Weaker teammates and weapons for an opponent force to have all of the equipment, guns and gadgets.
Most importantly: after the first objective is lost, the planes for Japan should no longer be flown off of a carrier while playing some of the Pacific maps. Being on the last objective and time of the essence, it is very annoying that my plane has to start on a carrier so far away from the map, especially while in low BR. Make the planes spawn in air while and when the first objective is lost. It would help with immersion a lot.
I would like to request to have an assaulter one squad added to Japan to make the early game more accessible or reduce all of some machine guns down into tier one tier 2, and the last ones being later on, because the type 100 early and late should be folder together or added sequentially.
I have been playing Japan a lot, and it has been very grinding and it has been one or two new players per team, but the rest of us are all veterans who have played the game for a while and I realized that a lot of our teammates were also bought and I believe this goes to show, but not a lot of people are playing Japan because it’s not that it is unplayable, but it is not appealing to play.
To help balance out against the Soviets and the Allied Americans I would like there to be a reduction of tear or upgrade costs as well as weapon purchases in the research tech tree.
Add another plane and tank slot/spot in the game because if one person keeps spawning the plane and flys non stop, another can not be brought in.
I guess my points have been made by players before but I would love if it would be acted upon.
Coincidentally i have found japan to be the worst perpetrator of friendly saboteurs who sit in the plane spamming need enemy coordinates… playing against the nation the spams the most tanks.
That’s because the weapons, maps and nation it’s based off of suck… why would you want to play as someone worse than the nazis?
lol… this is completely ridiculous… yes we should have the type 97 scoped machine gun in BR1… another artificial buff.
Your assaulter 1 is the medic dude… ANOTHER random one sided artificial change that goes against normality… just because the nation sucks doesn’t mean you get to randomly start breaking rules.
None of the planes on the pacific theatre should be required to take off but instead keep the mechanic in so you can land if you want to repair or choose to take off and waste valuable time from your team for your own selfish enjoyment.
To note you have one of the most under rated and useful gadgets… 150 sprint factor melee that can be equipped to everyone… of course most players are one step away from being in a vegetative state so i’m not surprised it isn’t recognized.
That and they should make it to where you can have an all infantry line-up if you’re not a vehicle user.
As far as aircraft carriers go, just take the carrier spawn off the pacific maps for Japan so they wouldn’t have to spend more time prepping their plane for takeoff as the US and Russians don’t have that issue with most of their planes
I’m sure the OP would like to hear some of the reasons why… i’m assuming one of them could be that you enjoy the challenge… it rewards dedicated players with actual skill… and is the reason why they are commonly known for being the better players… or atleast those who stay true to them from what i’ve seen.
They also need a BR4 rifle and semi, better armament on the planes, a higher tier LMG, the Type 2a to have a bigger mag, etc
They need help with the TT…there are barely any Premium or Event squads that have a buff.
The main glaring issue I have with Japan is just the air tree. Carrier spawns make every low BR plane except the Zero and Ki-100 practically worthless on any map with carrier spawns, most of said planes are already overtiered anyways.
Japanese fighter aircraft are really good but the attacker lineup is sad, the B5N2 and D4Y1 are both overtiered and the Ki-83 is an interceptor not a ground attack aircraft.
Basically if someone is sitting in the fighter plane and not doing anything then your team loses out on crucial anti-vehicle potential and there’s nothing you can do about it except hope they get shot down.
To be fair Japan has been lacking in in dedicated players some what recently. Like after a month of playing none stop vs USSR people just went over to another nation.
I tried playing br 2 and had a few bad matches because it felt like no one was respawning. Every time the other squads in my team got taken out they would just sit between the objective and the home spawn until we lost it.
From what ive been seeing Allies during the day is decent up to like 3pm ish and after that youll get more bot lobbies or a lot of console players on one side of the match. For Germany and USSR theres always players (at least 5 decent ones with like 60+ kills) from like the afternoon till like 1 am.
Try playing Japan late at night maybe youll get more enjoyable matches unless you like playing 3v1 with endless waves of smg bullets flying your way lol
I agree with you that the appeal of the Japanese faction is not strong enough. However, my experience may be different from yours. I always felt that there were more experienced players in the Japanese faction compared to those in the other three factions. It could be that the weapons and equipment in Japan are less, making it easier for players to advance. Or it could be that those playing the Japanese faction are mostly players who have already experienced the other three factions.
I haven’t played the Japanese faction for quite some time either. So, which BR do you think is the most difficult to play? I can also give it a try.
