Simple, you will have nothing unique and will enjoy using a weapon that’s practically the same as it’s counterpart, maybe except for it’s visuals, well unless it’s a captured/or lend-lease variant.
Courtesy of symmetrical balancing.
I mean that is what a lot of people want apparently. No distinctive features or advantages/disadvantages across factions, just the same slop. At least it’ll be easier to balance I guess and there’ll be less whining from each side.
Well Japan does need a BR4 rifle and Axis dont even use the ZH-29, I cant even recall the last time I saw someone use it. Everyone picks the G43 by default (which is the only realistic BR4 rifle for Axis btw, so they are right to use it).
I won’t act like i ever used it but i saw a video of it with its pre nerf fire rate and that seemed like it was actually viable to use… maybe it had a better reload too i’m not sure but yeah… if they returned it to state state then it would be used
ZH-29 has the same fire rate as the G43.
I think that the G43 sights are just way better (one of the best in game) while ZH-29 has one of the worst iron sight of the game. Plus the G43 is unlocked earlier.

Has this been the same since its introduction? I’ve heard tales of a nerf and that it killed the weapon which is what i was referring to.
I dont remember any ZH-29 nerfs.
Ashamed enough as i am i will admit that theory was from a pardivision video… yet another reason to not suggest them for newbies or to watch at all.
Described the gun as having a fall from grace due to some adjustments.
All in all, it creates an interesting situation.
Generalissimo Zhang Zuolin is actively purchasing ZB-26 machine guns. His son, Zhang Xueliang, orders 150 rifles for his personal guard, which are scheduled to arrive at the Mukden Arsenal by February 1930.
Second Lieutenant Suzuki, stationed in Mukden, recognizes the potential of the ZH-29 and requests permission from Tokyo to begin production of semi-automatic rifles directly at the facilities of the Chinese Mukden Arsenal. Tokyo grants official authorization for this.
The Arsenal of the Three Eastern Provinces (Mukden) completes testing of its own prototype—a copy of the ZH-29. One can assume that Chinese engineers, under the supervision (and likely participation) of Japanese “advisors” like Suzuki, are already preparing for mass production. However, in 1931, Japan occupies Manchuria and seizes the Mukden Arsenal.
The Japanese company Tokyo Gas Electric gains a significant sphere of influence in Manchuria. By 1932, it submits the Type Otsu rifle—a modernization of the ZH-29—to a newly announced automatic rifle competition.
On March 30, 1940, the creation of a “Central Government” in Nanjing was solemnly announced, with Wang Jingwei serving as acting chairman. The Wang Jingwei regime was a puppet state, yet it possessed its own army. It stands to reason that with Japanese support, the Nanjing or Shanghai Arsenal produced its own copy of the ZH-29 for Wang Jingwei’s collaborationist government.
The phrasing is somewhat unclear—is this a rifle built from scratch or a modernized version? Based on the wording, I gather it is likely a copy of the ZH-29 built from the ground up.
I don’t think ZH rifles had bipods so I’m assuming thats either a modification or a copy of the ZH
while this is probably true 9.9/10 times, I do use the tokyo arsenal over JP AR that is just bad,
Really fking bad.
Well Japan has only 1 real BR V gun the Assault rifle is a joke … xD
