8 man squads. For a snare they have one man banzai rush a tank with a satchel charge and blow himself up.

That is true, though I still have doubts about it. Relic is already dealing with balance/bugs with 5 factions, it's hard to believe they would want to throw another one into the mix.

Actually, they could do 8 man squads like this.

When you build a Japanese squad you get two squads of 4 weak troops. They share veterancy across each other. Then you can get different weapon upgrades for each small squad, like lmgs on one and submachine guns on the other. Use them together to flank, etc. Would also keep with the axis theme of small squads to not fuck up single engagements too much.

trust me, if Relic wants to make money, they'd make 10 more factions

Tunnels. Can't have the japanese without tunnels.

Send your engi to build a little exit in the corner of the map and watch your enemies surprise when your entire army attacks from behind. Would be awesome.

I like this idea, though I find it a bit hard to picuture. So if one half squad gets wiped you can reinforce it from the first? Can you reinforce the second while the first is in base?
