Was there any to begin with?

There were. But a very long time ago.

There is still a little left for some factions on certain BRs.

I’m fine with it, but only if Japan gets it in some way since they used it a decent bit. Doesn’t really make sense for the soviets to get it.

Adding the Type 88 Hanyang to the Soviet TT was the worst option of all.

It could have been added to Japan TT or a Japanese event squad or a Japanese Premium squad or a squad from the Manchukuo Imperial Army or another Chinese squad for Western allies.
But the devs decided to add a captured weapon to the Soviet TT Lol

I would’ve rather this weapon be reserved for an actual Chinese faction, a Chinese squad for the Allies or USSR, or give it to Japan

We’re not going to have a new faction anytime soon, but if we ever do have a Chinese faction It’s just copy and paste like devs always do

no chinese faction unless its limited to the chinese server, china was a battlefield more than a faction, sub faction or less.

It is entirely satisfactory in its present form, although a premium squad would have been undoubtedly better .

Excuse me, but who and when could they have captured this? The best I’ve heard is about a minor skirmish with China on the Chinese Eastern Railway. Or was it captured from collaborators at Khalkhin Gol? Or what? I can’t justify this decision either on balance or history.

I would certainly be very happy to see subfactions with a limited set of maps, but why add this weapon now?

The Japanese used them in rear-guard units and the Imperial Manchurian Army also used them

So it’s practically impossible that the Soviets didn’t capture them in Manchuria, but even so the devs chose the worst option

We could make this more interesting by adding some unique European weapons that aren’t used by other factions. And yes, half of Japan’s branch is made up of Chinese trophies. Perhaps if the developers could create factions limited to BR 2-3, we could have separate China, Italy, Britain, France . . . and Japan. I don’t consider Japan a full-fledged faction after BR 3. They can’t do anything at BR 4-5 without foreign weapons and dieselpunk prototypes.

My God, this is so stupid. Is there any evidence of the Soviets using these weapons? Or atleast capturing it?

Surely you is not suggesting the devs may or may not have a certain lean or not lean towards a particular faction that may or may not be current or may not, by any chance maybe or maybe not? Xxx

I think the gun was wasted. It would have been lot more interesting if it was tied to a chinese event squad

They did not use

There might be some evidence, but it will need to be search very deeply
As I said, the Japanese used them in rear units and the Manchuoko Imperial Army also used them, so it’s unlikely that the Soviets didn’t capture them

Soviet B-… I mean
Of course No…
