Because there aren't any units that exist that could make a viable Japanese army, for this game. Play soviets versus USF but you can make nothing but conscripts, 45mm AT guns, and T70's and tell me how much fun you have.

It does not matter, it's a game and everything depends on the balance.
Especially was the presentation of guns and tanks which are competitive with other countries

The most common AT gun the soviets used was the crummy m42. Yet their nondoctrinal one is a field gun. They could do the same thing for the Japanese as well. Japan had quite a few seldom used things that would help make them balanced.
The problem is Japan never focused on developing their army, they had good support weapons like mortars and MG's, because they focused on massed infantry warfare, not tank battles or long drawn out sieges. They had good fighter craft and naval ships because that's what they needed.
For the factions in europe, you can give them rarer units to balance things out because said rare units did in fact exist. Short of literally making up units that didn't exist you couldn't put a Japanese army in coh2.

Again, talking about history.
I know the history. And I do not mind the fact that Japan had a bad ground troops.
We're talking about the game. And the fact that Japan had absolutely everything that would be a new, exciting faction.
You are the commander - show how to fight, show tactics.

Type-90 gun
Total production: 786
with characteristics similar to the ZIS-3
I think that this gun is well suited to the role of the main gun.
Could good to deal with the T-34 and M4
I repeat again: the USSR against Japan is possible. and I will pay only for this DLC

What exactly, are you going to do when all you have is a worse ZiS when facing off against IS2's and ISU's?

75-mm anti-aircraft gun Type 88
100-mm anti-aircraft gun Type 14
120-mm gun Type 10

IIRC the KV2 is one of the rarest tanks of the war, only 300 were ever made. So it's inclusion makes about as much sense as any of the other rarer tanks like the Sturmpanzer or Ostwind.

The M-42 wasn't really "crummy". It had 51mm meters of penetration at 1000m, enough for a PIV. For example zis-3 had 67mm at 1000m.
And zis-3 was definately more common than the m-42 in 1943-1945.

your little emplacement gun isn't going to get brutally owned by indirect fire.

Right because Axis has the 88 anti aircraft gun, and your little emplacement gun isn't going to get brutally owned by indirect fire.
Sorry, but a faction entirely based around static anti aircraft doesn't seem all that fun to me.

Indeed its inclusion makes much less sense because KV1 and KV2 were early war Soviet tanks that were mainly destroyed/abandoned in the first year of the war, whereas the German rare weapons like Ostwind, Elephant, Sturmtiger etc. fit very well with the "ZOMG ZUPERWAFFEN" narrative Relic loves so much.
Its not like there are static forward HQ's called OKW trucks, and its not like there was ever a mechanic like vCoH Brit Emplacements...
But of course people will start whining when static objects are introduced and get destroyed in one tank shell, because design definitely cannot otherwise be special and overcome issues.

OKW was given what it has because Relic wanted a faction that didn't use medium tanks.

Did i miss something?
Last time i checked Panther was a medium tank, Along with the Jagdpanzer IV.
