Hi, everyone: I'm the creator of the Imperial Japanese Forces mod. It's been in development for a year and a half, and it's almost finished. In that time, I've gotten a lot of balance feedback, mostly from Sir Edgelord.
The goal is Competitive Viability. It needs just a little more fine-tuning; a few new sets of eyes would have a better chance of finding something we missed. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
If any casters or community figures are interested, I would love a review once it's ready (and could be willing to compensate you for your time).
Here's the mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1681429371
Thanks!

Any casts or replays available? Would be interested in taking a look, it looks like a lot of work has gone into this.

If anybody wants to play some 1v1 games with this mod feel free to add my on Steam and we can do some testing. Bored as hell of the regular game right now and looking for something to spice it up in some way.

Played a chilled 3v3 game v US. Correct me if im missing something but their is no repair unit besides critical repair who heal 1/4 then run off (as said but are ment for critical repairs).
The reincarnated M-42 just got destroyed by shermans and the At round last 5 seconds (but dosnt fire anyway).
Honestly, any tank with above 200 armor you might as well run away which I can understand for the IPJ but in this game its a auto loose. Long story short, they have to have more effective At and repairs in their stock.
Other than that so far, your mod is really interesting and different. Just curious, are any stats different with the tanks since they use the t-70 and British modals?
Other than that, this is a fun mod except for the mid-late game.
This is coming from my first experience and probably with 1v1 in mind but they defiantly need more effective AT and repairing.
I love you have a squad that ignores suppression but cannot retreat (in the final tier structure).

Thanks for the responses, guys!
Here's the only gameplay I've found online, a few patches out of date: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mT1Gji3IgDk
I'm planning on doing an overview video, not sure if my gameplay would be watchable.
Selvy- thanks for playing. The AT gun's AP rounds should be a toggle, unless that's bugged. It works well with the Coordinated Strike Zone (this is a very powerful ability, and Japan's late game kind of relies on it). For even heavier armor, the suppression-ignoring squad (Gyokusai) is best. 230 penetration, good deflection damage.
The tanks are different- the Ha-Go, for instance, is in between the T-70 and M5 in terms of AI vs AT. It also gains no vision with vet, since it is not a scout tank, but a raider.
As far as lack of repair goes, it's meant to promote a hit-and-run style. Gyokusai, who can benefit from Japan's good on-field reinforcement, take the meatshield role as well.

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money

Rosbone: It is also good they left it free until after the free to play weekend. Points for that.

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific.
