I m sorry to destroy all your dreams. but many People here complaining about weak soviet tanks.....well then just wait untill you see japanese tanks.Soviet tanks and equippment is godlike compared to Japans.

Most japanese tanks ar on par with the soviet T-70 light tank.How should Japan defeat IS-2, ISU-152 or Pershing?

Japan would be cool but sorry they have no interesting stuff.It would be just boring compared to the other factions.
A japanese faction would be a axis faction with weak and outdated infantry weapons and even much weaker tanks.That doesn t Sound like fun to me.

Japan lacks generally in AT Options.

I actually did a little bit of research on the Italians. They were even worse off then the Japanese. They didn't have much in the way of vehicles since they were knocked out halfway through the war, so they didn't even have that late war stuff the Japanese came up with and their tactics weren't all that different then the germans so it's hard to come up with unique abilities. Overall they were pretty much an inept arm of the German army.

They made a decent medium tank so there's that. Maybe if they had a few german reinforcments to fill them out a bit, but I'd wait till after I see what's left over from obercommand. Perhaps something a bit like the Panzer Elite.

Using realism as a means of CoH hypothetical comparisons is futile. T34 had amazing armor but they rarely deflect anything harder hitting than Ostwind flak in CoH2.

Japan killed tanks just fine, they just relied more on mines (sometimes carried by suicide bombers) and direct fire artillery. Also they mainly dealt with light-medium tanks, not very much heavy tank combat in the Pacific.

In the Pacific War, where tank battles were few and far in-between, the M4 Sherman tanks easily out-classed their Japanese counterparts. Unlike their North African and European counterparts, the Sherman tanks deployed to the Pacific often used high explosive rounds instead of armor piercing rounds; the decision was made due to the reason that the Japanese tanks were thinly-armored, and armor piercing rounds often went through the tank without detonating the explosives. The armor piercing rounds, though, remained effective against defensive fortifications.

Tanks isn't everything, if Relic can really make the map Iwo jima and Okinawa would super favour IJA. Ambushing and stealth is their strength.

Your trash talk is like Generals GLA with shitty tanks, no airforce cannot win a damn game.

Dave: The Pacific?

Yeah, and also North Africa. We could do any front in war. The Pacific could be quite a challenging one because of the island campaigns. There was a real disparity in that conflict. The United States beat Japan with ten percent of their resources. Europe was the main war for them at the time, so it was a very asymmetric conflict because Japan just didn’t have the industrial might.

Dave: That could tie in with the series quite well from the sounds of things.

The army design could be very interesting. The Japanese army had no tanks, but they had guys with mines on the end of sticks – I read this once in one of the books I’ve read on the subject. The average American soldier had 400 pounds of equipment and support, ammunition, fuel, etc; and the average Japanese soldier had 2 pounds. Such a difference in the two forces and it would be interesting to explore for sure… but that’s no confirmation that we’re doing it!
