In BR4 Axis has better guns and vehicles.
Better tanks
Better mg
Arguably better SMG since ttk is all that matters.
And normal infantry rifle is more or less same.

Certainly german MGs and tanks are good, but axis semi-autos and SMGs really leave a lot to desire, and there are several weapons that are BR5 but perform no better than BR3, the Type 2 (6.5mm) for example started as a BR5 but the 50 round Type 2 is better

Kiraly and G43 are great.

The Kiraly has its merits, especially in CQB, but the G43 is hard to land shots with that vertical recoil; the ZH29 is better in that regard but has terrible sights, if I hadn’t gotten used to it by using the Type Otsu, I probably wouldn’t even touch it. The reason I emphasize this is that I’ve also used the SVT; the SVT40 Sniper is truly impressive, the sight barely moves at all for a semi auto sniper. Another thing that bothers me a bit is the G43’s sound; it sounds more like an AT rifle and is kind of ear-splitting XD
This is confusing…upper tier Japan’s weapons struggle against body armour in Manchuria and are at a disadvantage except for the Type Hei…but only on BR5. I have used orders to buy body armour but wouldn’t care as much if it was nerfed…give out extra Appearance Orders to replace it. People who used gold to buy it did it for a reason…the advantage. The Soviet Union did not have the money or the resources to outfit their entire army. It should be for the special squads ONLY.

I’d say they should move the Type 2 (50) or the Type 2 6.5mm to BR3; Japan simply doesn’t have and hardly would have any SMGs at BR5, so locking weapons that clearly aren’t up to the task of those tiers is absurd. The Type 2a, for instance, ought to be BR2 but is currently BR3, as if it could actually compete with the box-mag PPSh-41, unless they buff the damage of the 8mm Nambu weapons; technically, that caliber should hit harder than a 7.65mm round. As for high-tier play, the only thing that could serve as a BR5 assault rifle for Japan is if they added the Type Hei Automatic with its 20-round magazine.

Why would you use it instead of 30 round version?
Well, the benefits of the Assault IV soldiers, for example, include the default reload perk and better control; but above all and most importantly you get an automatic Type Hei with 300 total rounds, compared to the standard Type Hei, which is limited to a maximum of 150 rounds (or 90 without the ammo pouch). We all know the Type Hei’s issues are its low ammo capacity and relatively slow reload. Having more ammo serves as an alternative to using machine gunners who aren’t exactly the best choice, given that the TE4 and Type 100 are too clunky for the Assault role.
Tank commander can’t use binocular bug. When will it be fixed?
