Building tunnels....what should they do in the tunnels?Hiding like a rat from the enemys big killer tanks?
With at grenades against an IS-2? That should take a year until they can destroy These Monster.
And placing mines over the map to stop the enemys tanks->Soviets/USA would only Need a pio with mine searcher upgrade and its useless.
The more you write, the more I'm convinced you didn't read the original post. |
I don't feel like the Japanese are well suited. If we were doing new factions I'd prefer Italy or Hungary or something. Like I said in a earlier post, those nations were even worse off in tanks and interesting tactics then the Japanese. There would be no way of implementing them without integrating German units within them. |
Bugger the Japanese tanks, I'd rather see the Japanese place all their eggs in lung mines and AT grenades (with lots of extra benefits for balancing, such as having a very good chance of immobilising the enemy tank) Unfortuenetly with the way this game works every faction needs to put up some sort of armor resistence or else every game could be won by spamming KV-8s and minesweeper. |
All other japanese medium tanks were just prototypes which never saw any combat or just only existed on paper.
I m sorry to say but all These japanese tanks doesn t look very exciting or cool to me.You are not telling me that These Things should match an IS-2/Pershing/ISU-152 or?
They don't need to match it, just kill it. The T34-76 can't match a tiger, but I use them to kill tigers all the time.
And these supposed prototypes where mass produced, about 150 of them. Which is far more then the amount of Ostwinds or Sturmtigers. |
inquiring about the builder units:
aren't nambu's extremely expensive?
why not give them bolt action carbines the japs had?
I guess I was just trying to make them a bit more unique. Relic would probably give them the rifles instead. |
This thing doesn't look like it can match T34. It actually can, well at least if it shoot's first. Which is why I gave it low health and made it like a AT focused SU-76. |

I designed the this army with fighting the Russians in mind, I mean of course if this was real life Japan wouldn't stand a chance, they were outnumbered and have a only few of their best tanks, most didn't even reach the battlefield. But this is a game!
Split factions were thrown out the window the moment the western front armies was announced. It's not going to happen.
As for not having heavies making them a bad faction, that's bull. It's like saying the soviets can't win unless the use an IS-2 or ISU-152. They do just fine without it and a doubt the pershing is going to be in more then one doctrine so what about the americans. Do they suck too? Not to mention these guys would be fighting with German teammates most the time.
As for killing allied heavy tanks, they have a AT gun as powerful as a pack, a dedicated 5 man AT team that can cause heavy damage if they get close,the Chi-Nu which is as good as the Sherman M4c, Ho-Ri one that can pen it semi-reliably for a cheap cost, Ho-Ri III which is as good as a SU-85, and several helpful doctrinal units that can help.
If anything they are better off then the current soviets as far as non-doctrinal AT goes. If I can make a functional Japanese faction in 2 nights, I'm sure relic can pull it off with a whole team. |
and the japanese schoolgirls? (if u know what i mean) 
"What are we going to do on the bed Hanz-san?"

Who give a shit if some of those tanks never used in combat ? if it japanese made then bring it to the game.
To OP: A very excellent post you made.
To be honest, I wouldn't mind if they even used some of the prototype stuff. Nothing rediculous like the O-I, but I read that they were thinking of putting a autoloader on the Chi-Ri. Would be a cool machanic for a tank to unload 3-4 shells in rapid succesion and then have a real long reload or the Ho-Ri which was basically a japanese elephant, but I understand relic has to stay somewhat within their parameters. |
Hey's a few arguments to pollute your forum world then. German MG has superior suppression based on my experience (I regularly watch German units survive 2 bursts of a Maxim unsuppressed at max range, it takes one burst and a bit for the MG42 to suppress) , and a vastly superior arc. It's damage I can't comment on but you don't buy MGs for damage. As above, the only inferior aspect to it is the setup.
Do not lecture me Jaigen on nebulous arguments!
Don't forget it has a larger suppression AoE. A MG42 will suppress a squad AND the one next to it. The maxim can only suppress multiple squads if they overlap. |
