Relic: No Japanese faction in CoH2

By Cynthia

We don't have any plans to develop a Japanese faction at this time. I know that the term Jap is likely being used as a shortened version of Japanese here, but the term is often considered a racial slur and not something we allow here. Please keep this in mind for the future

You can play as the Japanese in CoH2, just only use cons with no PPsH, biggest AT gun you can have is a 42mm and the biggest tank you can have is a t-70

To clarify: I have never seen "Japs", or "John Jap", or "Nips" as racial slurs. It is the equivalent of "Tommy/Tommies" or "Jerries".

"Japs" is short for Japanese; " Nips" is short for "Nipponese" (which is closer to the Western version of pronouncing 'Nihon' =Japan).

'Japs', is considered derogatory and most definitely is a racial slur. At least in Australia anyway where it is, or was, commonly used as one.

Japs wouldn't be a bad idea i think, the only problem they had was weaker armor on tanks

Thank you

I am not Australian.

EDIT: Why would "Jap" be a racial slur in Australia?

The heaviest Japanese tank was basically a worse Sherman. It was also produced in less numbers than the KT.
