I’ve heard that Chinese players will flip their shit if Chinese stuff is given to Japan and not poking that hornets nest is why they gave it to Russia
I’m disappointed right now, because I’m expecting Chinese Communist forces to unfortunately be rolled into the USSR faction like Italians for Germany/Commonwealth for US and I was hoping that it would give us a Chinese squad on the TT if they insist on doing this.
Maybe it’s better not to add it at all?
That’s why probably half of the Japanese branch consists of weapons that Japan could not have obtained in any way other than as trophies from China.
We already have many weapons captured from the Chineses in the Japanese faction, so it’s not the problem
However, these are European weapons, captured in China. Or maybe not captured in China. Dark Flow doesn’t want you to know where Japan got these weapons from.
The KE7 and FN Model 1930 were captured in China, Ofenrohr, Japaneses probably never captured it.
The other weapons were purchased.
The BARs were captured by Japan. Apparently, the BAR unit featured in the game actually armed with captured American weapons and fought the Soviets in Manchuria.
Lol, I played a match and one of my allies had a Bar; it was very strange that he was shooting at the Soviets with a Bar
Captured Polish Brownings were used in some quantities by both the Soviets and the Germans on the Eastern Front. Incidentally, I recently wrote a thread about replacing the PPSh(S) with the FN1930. I think it’s a more suitable weapon for both China and the Soviets, who could use foreign-made BAR modifications. It’s also a more unique weapon for the Soviets, as the Soviets don’t have their own BAR, and it’s truly something new, not just another SMG with a drum magazine. And it would fit nicely into the “BAR-equipped squads” pack.
I saw it, even commented and I agree.
I didn’t vote, but I really don’t really care either way. I probably wouldn’t use it anyway as it appears to be just another insignificant rifle. 
However, having variety in weapons IMOP is a good thing.
