If devs are going to add “experimental” weapons like the type 2a SMG and captured weapons like the sawed-off M2, could you at least make them good? They under perform and have less ammo then any other faction weapons at BR5…they don’t even have a BR4 rifle option. The tech tree needs help…this is why people shy away from playing them.
Since the BR5 weapons are not really Japanese, do you think devs should add bigger mags to at least let them compete?
If you’re referring to the new AR, i actually prefer that it get moved to br4 instead. Not only is it a step towards a fleshed out br4 but it leaves br5 open for a different gun to take it’s place. ARs in lower tiers is quite rare right now, so this is much more interesting. There’s nothing stopping players from using the br4 gun in br5 in the meantime as well. Not to mention, the type hei auto already gets a bigger mag in comparison to all other nations as well as it being the most stable.
The u.s. m2 has 30 rounds, the Japanese m2 also has 30 rounds. Why should it get a bigger mag? Did they even have bigger mags to begin with?
I was meaning the type 2a…the sawed off I just hate. All 3 guns including the Tokyo Arsenal, which I like, are experimental or captured. They could at least make the competitive.
The Sawed off M2 Carbine is not overly impressive.
Both the Captured M2 and the 20rd assault rifle are going to BR4 next update.
Wow. This went out of date quickly
Another reason why they need more weapons…the type 2a should be BR3 and that’s only because of the bayonette.
We did have a niche cqc BRV MG until russian forum had to ruin it by digging documents up from yamamotos grave.
i wil… never… stop complaining about this… let alone it tipping the balancing and people’s lineups in BR1-2.
But that’s just it a LOT of the Japanese weapons are experimental or recovered and modified…what difference does it make if someone has documents? ALL factions have experimental or stolen weapons…even worse coloured Fortnite skins…nobody should be able to complain about a factions arsenal untill they have logged at least 100 matches playing as them. Balance is a BIG issue in this game…jets weren’t really prevalent in the war, some weapons were like the Lewis gun but for some reason it is the Soviets that have access…BRs are unbalanced when tiered +/-1…and the Japanese TT is brutal and underpowered.
Frankly I think the “captured M2” should be removed because of how ridiculous it is. The M2 entered service nearly at the end of the war and I doubt Japan wouldve been able to capture one.
You talking about the double barrel one? I hated using that thing. Haven’t used it since it came out
Got buffed severely
That isnt an issue as it actually wasnt an M2 carbine that was modified but an M1 carbine.
I know, so they either fix it and make it a proper M1 Carbine or remove it
Totally agree, i have 1000+ matches for every faction.
Jets are not game breaking at all. I accept the argument of them ruining the feel of a ww2 game more than a balance argument. I will admit though, that the meteor should of gotten a slight turn speed nerf.
The only true unbalanced matches with +1/-1 brackets is br4 playing br5. The rest are very competitive with one another, unless you’re just starting out at br1 with out all the unlocks (event items go a long way here too).
I wouldn’t call japan brutal to play at all, they are missing a few things here and there, but overall what they do have is quite good. Sure it gets boring some times with limited options, but that’s when you should just play a different faction for a bit. Japan players on average are quite good as well. It’s not overwhelmingly filled with good players like it was not long ago, but still quite competent teams often.
Jets just need further spawn distance. Nothing big like 500 meters more or something
If it was a M1 carbine that they mistaked for a M2 they definitely should fix it, but then we got the weird spot where it’s a M1 carbine without a stock in BR IV while the regular is in BR II.
If they ever do fix it it should be down tiered again to BR II and lose it’s full auto capabilities and maybe a slight rebalance since it’s a semi auto.
The Japanese TT is lacking…low BR LMGs aren’t great, upper tier SMGs are lacking, now with the coming nerf the upper rifles are lacking and no BR4, low BR planes and tanks are very limited while upper BR are usually underpowered for the BR. I like playing the Japanese but no one can argue that the TT is severely lacking…event squads are sparse and new additions are lack luster…type 2a AR, 50 cal MG, new howitzer tank, M2 sawed off, etc.
They lack a lot, honestly they should have kept them locked to BR III-IV max. Most of the stuff they have is down tiered because someone in the devs position thinks all their equipment outside of BR I/II is really higher then it should be.
I was just thinking that they should have been BR capped. I agree, most items are underpowered for the BR they are in…hence my dilemma…Japanese Fighter Pilot IIIs are my last squad to upgrade in game and have to be done at BR5. I always have to wait until my BP is done and I’m Marshal so I don’t lose too many points and had to buy up to the Ki-84 to get a plane that is at least respectable and not buying more because thier BR5 lineup is brutal…and it takes FOREVER!
