New costomizations for Japanese units / costomization in general (feel free to write your own ideas)

Hello, I came back to play the game. Used to play a bit before Japan got added and now I come back to enlisted and am bit disapointed that it has so little costomization options compare to other nations.

First of all I ask why Japan lack those outfit switches according to battle fronts?
image
image
Its the only nation that lack this free outfit costomization depending on front and it very much could have them.

Now to each costomization options.

Ideas:

Tank crew:
(click below on section - got it in spoilers so its not just huge overload of text and

Tank crew costomizations

winter helmet - with coat it would be good for front with russians


More uniforms and boots options and especially option to wear tank goggles on top of both the helmet and cap which is missing in the game
image
-those sets should just be free outfit switch as well as buying individual things as it is with every other nation
image
image
Also the current tank helmets seems kinda wierdly modelled / wierdly fitting tbf compare to irl :

Pilots:

Pilot costomization

Again basically no costomization option for the head not even goggles above eyes:
image
Like whats even the difference there?

I very much miss the most clasic and stereotypical pilot hat with fur which is on like 90% of ww2 era photos
imageimageimage
As well as options with goggles out as well as with cap wings out as was often worn this way when hot
image
And of course Hachimaki which was common amogst pilots both with and withou cap, goggles or goggles out
image
image

Then balcava or scarf costomization option

Unifrom wise its also very limited with options to be added:

Infranty:

Infranty costomization

With infranty there are more options, but still a lot more can be added and as said at the start the free outfit switch option should be added to all units as it is with other nations.

Game is completly lacking any form of Navy uniforms, caps, helmets of IJN marines, sailors and paratroopers that very much too part in many fights over the pacific on land etc.

Wearing cap under helmet to the back unlike their IJA counterparts:
IJA in game cap to the front
image
IJN cap to the the back (if worn with cap) and also tied in the back.
image

image

Also all Japanese helmets in game are insecurely tied should not be tied just single strap like in game.
image
image

Marine paratroopers:

Then camoflage and more clothing options:

My favorite color tropical dark green unoforms can be added


especially the two on the left are even darker than ones in game:
image

Leaves helmet costomization.
image
It does not need to be like whole set bush level like the premium sniper squad (that would disadvantage the people that have the premium squad) but at least the helmet with leaves on should be very much an option to costomize.


Japan used camoflage a LOT. And its only fair if other countries have camoflage helmets such as americans with theirs
image
Or germans and russians with their white ones for winter
image

Multi color camoflage:


-its currently locked behind pay wall with giretsu premium units that all famously used this camoflage.

  • But imo if someone wants pay gold/costomization points to give it to their regular squad they should have that option.
    image
    image
    image
    Since other nations have that option too or even have it as base camo for their free units and that is rather unfair:
    imageimageimage image

Winter uniforms:

Imperial guard insignias on caps costomization (which also fought in battles outside of Japan):

image
image

Rare helmet types :

Body armor:

Would be great for some special premium squad with extra HP. Altho not sure how much helmets and armor actually protect the soldiers in game.

And so on. Thank you for reading :man_bowing: Open to other ideas :smile: or feel free to add your own and discuss

100% support this idea. Japan is done the most dirty in terms of cutomization. The colors of their uniforms are horrendously mismatched too.

Like it is safe to say that WT tank helmets are better fitting and done even after 12 or so years.

Which is bit sad. :sob:

Also btw guys, do stuff like armor and helmets actually affect survivability of the soldiers in game like stop pistol round or two at longer range?
Does anyone have experience with it?

From what I remember for whatever reason Japan is the only nation without any damage reduction on helmets. Every other nation has about 10-15% so just enough to survive a pistol or SMG headshot at range

Yet again. Unfair disadvantage for Japan? Why would that be the case? Japanese helmets were well made.

Yeah it’s very very strange why Japan has that hidden disadvantage. I don’t believe any of the helpers have said anything about it. I could have missed it but so far no idea if it’ll be fixed

Yeah. Not a fan of that. Hope it gets fixed togeder with the costomization.

I’ve seen that some officer caps in the uniform customizations offer protection against headshots, but I don’t know if Japan has similar options. It’s already a major disadvantage that the Soviets have torso armor that reduces damage by 10%, which doesn’t mesh well with the capabilities of the 8mm Nambu.

Officer caps? I thought just helmets and armor.

I gave many options for body armor. So Japan should get too if its really the case that it protects them.

Yes, there are several uniform, caps, and helmets options, is more noticeable in other factions like Germany and Russia. Japan, so far, simply maintains the standard that’s been in the game since the Pacific campaigns. Even with the Burma and Manchuria updates, they haven’t added anything truly new, while the other factions already have adjustable uniforms depending on the campaign or front.

Quite a few pictures have been seen of Japanese soldiers with torso armor, mostly from the Second Sino-Japanese War. There’s so much we don’t know about that front, but there are quite a few things from there that could be added. Even so, the developers don’t seem to pay much attention to the Japanese faction in general, unlike the Soviet faction, especially since torso armor makes them particularly strong at lower tiers.

Before it gets mentioned, they prefer a poll or they like to close these.

Should these customization be added to the Japanese?

  • Yes, all of these
  • No, we don’t need more
  • Yes, but some needs to be reserved for premium squads
  • Yes, to some customizations
  • Yes, especially the helmet and winter customizations

I love this post, we really need more customizations for the Japanese. They basically have default only outfits and almost no camo. Like it was said above they used camo extensively even a few basic universal camos and hat/helmets for every squad would go a long way.

Well, the truth is we need winter uniforms. There are quite a few uniforms and certain details seen in images from the Second Sino-Japanese War that would be perfect inspirations for customizations, like the special landing unit of marines with gas masks in the Battle of Shanghai.
