As a Japan main, I am quite happy with these changes. However while I appreciate these changes, I think the damage of the japanese SMGs should be nerfed, because the 8mm Nambu that the japanese used was quite a weak cartridge compared to other cartridges. Japanese SMGs should basically be some kind of weak laser beam: weak cartridge = low recoil, but also low damage.

Well i hope future holds more soviet 3rd br SMGs
This way of balancing is very paranoid and irrational.

Haha, Not enough bro, jap is still too weak. Why not put No.6 heavy tank in BR 1? Didn t we has always known that jap won WW2? I m looking foward to battling in Washington DC and placing jap flag in the roof of The White House. If u try to mess players up with data, we will reply u with outlist!

Even if I don’t play anywhere, I support any balancing suggestion or anything that makes things ahistorical better. But I generally don’t bother to create a suggestion for it.
Seeing the stats, yes, the damage of the japanese SMGs using 8mm Nambu should be nerfed, because this cartridge was definitely weaker than the 9mm Parabellum that the MP40 uses. But for the drastic increase in fire rate of some japanese SMGs, it is accurate, because a lot of players broke their asses to find historically accurate data about these guns and it is hard to find for japanese guns in general. As a result of all this research, we found out that some guns were very inaccurate sometimes.
Edit: my bad, it is not the MP40 but the ZK-383 that is shown, but it doesn’t matter in the end, because it uses the same round as the MP40.

The improvements to the SMGs are quite noticeable, now if they add maps against the Soviets at least there won’t be so much suffering, won’t the KE7 have recoil reduction too, just weight increase? I also hope the matchmaking improves, I tried some BR2 games recently but ended up in one against the majority being BR4 and they simply wiped us out.
If the Type 2 maintains its aim it will be really powerful, especially in the 50-round variant, but since the PPSH are there and with a drum in itself it wouldn’t be so strange for the game.
So, there is an SMG in BR1 that is more powerful than the ZK-383 in BR3?

Why they buffed japan: they noticed on their statistics that few player play as japan.
Instead of adding more weapon and more maps to make this faction more fun to play, they just make existing weapon overpowered, hoping players will join japan for the fun to farm br1-2 us players.
Darkflow is just too lazy and it kills them to implement new weapons and make new maps for Pacific front.
You’re simply wrong about this, my winrate for Japan is significantly higher than any other nation. Japan struggling is a complete myth propagated by bad players or people completely new to the faction who forgot how tough it is to start with nothing again.
