The current BR3 in Japan is really too tough. I hope to get something new

Japanese light weapons are of no concern. They can be matched against those of the United States.
Although the 100 assault rifle has been weakened, the US Thompson is still extremely powerful. The tanks in Japan are too small.
Faced with two 105 Sherman tanks
There is no way to leave the point of birth.
The Japanese tanks were unable to resist.
The Japanese fighter planes are good, but they will be taken away by the clumsy players on our side.
The Japanese bomber, BR3, does not have the ability to be born in the air.
Only the Comet aircraft is born on the ground and cannot compete with the American fighter planes born in the air, let alone bombers.
The Japanese BR3 and BR5 both require a bomber with bombs that can be born in the air.

Do you agree? My friends
In the game “War Thunder”, for the Japanese land army, there are some options for aircraft.
So don’t look for ground-born aircraft in the Japanese naval forces.
Hope the developers can see this.

Major skill problem, Japan has issues with bombers, tanks and semi-automatic, but the rest is very good. The Type 96 is better than any BAR and the Type 100 Late is better than any Thompson.

The Ki-100 is very good, it has a lot of 20mm ammo and two 250kg bombs. It only has some difficulty against Spitfires that curve a lot, but a good player can take it down.

And Japan has the best players in the game and doesn’t face BR4.

Japan has great small arms for sure for BR III… but their tanks and AT guns are undeniably garbage.

The only thing they would need is some better Anti-tank… they had the Type 90 field gun with a 75mm gun and AP shells, the 47mm they have now is a bad joke vs M4s.

US-Japan BR III stregnth comparison.

Rifles - Allied superiority, in both semi or bolt-action, more so in bolt-action, semis are a bit closer in power level.
SMGs - Roughly equal, both have ups and downs, no side has a obvious superiority.
MGs - Equal, both have essentially what the other side has (BAR/KE7, Bren/Type 96/99).
Manheld AT - Large US superiority. Japan lacks BR III AT alternative, the two BR II alternatives are very hard to use effectively against US BR III tanks. US has the M9, which is amazing.
Tanks - Large US superiority, The Sherman (any BR III variant) is a beast in the pacific, 105 is a very effective HE slinger, but so is the regular 75. Uptiered Japan has little to respond with, BR III tanks are still inferior, US tanks can can reliably pen any Japanese tank from the front whist the Japanese have to learn to aim in response.
Air - Equal, with caveats. They have their own stregnths that they play well to, but it’s obvious that when the US controls the sky Japan suffers more than if the situation was in reverse. At the same time, Japan has very good fighters that any skilled pilot can use to dominate the skies with (even BR II Zero is a beast). In order to reliably push out Japanese air superiority against a good pilot the US needs to rely on AA, ambush tactics, or bringing up Spitfires (event one included).

Other factors to consider:

Enginer structures - AA is equal, Japanese AT feels weaker (citation needed), US HMG is stronger (greater depression, more satisfying RoF), MMG is roughly equal (I prefer the US due to slightly higher RoF without being wild like the Germans, but both have very good depression stats which is the most important part I think to Engineer buildables).
Matchmaking - Japan BR III can’t be uptiered. Of course, only about five people play BR IV anyway, but it is a consideration anyway.
Maps - US Queues up against many more maps, meaning a dedicated Japanese player can learn the Pacific maps to a degree that the US one would have to spend longer on.
Players - US players lack willpower, give up too easily, prefers building AA guns over rally points, and plays snipers too often. Japan wins most of their games (personal experience) from US morale just collapsing too easily. Long story short, those who play as the US tend to be casuals, just playing one of the two main factions in the game (Germany and the US), whilst those who play as Japan really wants to play as Japan.

In summery, US has a lot of clear advantages, Japan has fewer, but they are closer in power level than I give them credit fore. US dominates in tanks, this is obvious, the rest is up for debate.

What makes US/Japan as balanced as it is though, is because the average US player doesn’t comprehend how to play the game, whilst the average Japanese player has fully accepted the Banzai mentality and therefor plays more aggressively.
