Good. Fake gun, don’t care if no one uses it anymore, the better alternative to removing it completely is removing any incentive to use it.
News to me, too.
Honestly perfectly fine in this case, the sawn-off M2 is just made up (sawn of M1s were a thing, no such examples of M2s found from Japanese forces).
The Tokyo Arsenal is still better.
Just assume that I like all replies that are sceptical about the stats of the Type 2 (6.5mm), it’s a BR III SMG in the role of a BR V Assault Rifle. I’ve just ran out of likes…
I’m just surprised even the Soviets are getting the short end of the stick in this update. Not that they’re lacking in small arms. (I don’t know anything about vehicles.)
I got a hunch the pre-order bundle will bring a powerful tank for Urss (because paywall eh) and a mediocre tank for Japan. Because Japan doesn’t get good tanks.
I won’t go into details to keep this short, I plan to share my thoughts later in commander’s corner.
Basically the whole damage reduction system is bad.
Not only body armour but helmets and even some soft caps have damage reduction… I get steel helmets but soft caps?
Also damage reduction applies to the whole body area, not just the protected part, take SN body armour as example which gives 10% damage reduction even to the completely unprotected back of the soldier.
These items should not be cosmetics, I buy cosmetics to look badass and historically more accurate, not to gain a competetive edge.
A machinegun on BR IV that can be only used when going prone or using the bipod…?
Really? There is literally a better version of this gun only 1 BR higher, and let’s just be honest, the bipod system in this game is completely bugged and unreliable.
Nobody sane is going to use this trash gun ever.
Really that’s what Japan needs and a bit of BR rebalance of existing planes at top BRs.
The only thing I like is :
Ferdinand
Browning M1919A4 (BR IV) a bit meh but ok.
B-25J-30 (BR V)
And Type 2 (6.5mm) (BR V)
Everything else is just strange or boring stuff and yet the main issue of lack of lower BR planes for Japan is not addressed.
And did USSR used Type 88 rifle ? I know Japan used them but USSR maybe they take some Chinese squads in the TT ?
Maybe if you don’t have time or resources at least give us this BR II plane it will require small rework on existing plane and give it to Fighter Pilot I:
I will be honest but when the update is called “Far Eastern Front” and both stars of the update get not all the content they might need is very disappointing.
All the soviets got is some Chinese rifle to br 1…
No br2 mg (that if i am not mistaken were promised some time ago) or new vehicles to penetrate more reliably TDs like Ho-Ri and Ferdinand with their 200-225 mm in front
You might say that IS-2 44 has some chances of penetrating Ferdinand but somewhat i doubt it but what is more interesting thing is that Ferdinand - 6.7, Ho-Ri - 8.6 and IS-2 - 20.8 seconds of reload… so German has 3 chanced to shoot IS-2 down, Japanese has 2 and this all while IS-2 can experience non pen…neat.
Or Japanese that still in dire need of content like semi-auto rifles (in general but 4th br is in dire need), CAS (a lot of it) and maybe even premoid partisans, maybe even new AT for br 3 to pen soviet tanks… like AR is unknown (we havent seen stats) i hope its good but imo its still lacking and they are the other main star of the update like dood, what is going on here.
