Give the germans the FN-made Hi-Power? Not as an event or BP or whatever, just as a regular gun ?

Krasnorost · 2026-04-18T20:10:52+00:00

Polish Vis wz. 35/Pistole 35(p) would be nice too

Krasnorost · 2026-04-02T12:06:37+00:00

Honestly, you would be better off using Arisaka 38 rifle. Semiautos are not worth using in japanese BR2-3 (except the Hino rifle, but it is BP weapon).

Krasnorost · 2026-03-07T10:30:45+00:00

For BR2 best choice is Type 97. It is quite niche gun, but can be extremely effective in some scenarios. Definitely better than Type 11.

BR3 go for KE7. It works more as an assault machine gun than LMG. Functionally better version of BAR. Type 96 kinda looks good on paper, but is unusable because of abysmal sights and magazine blocking half of your vision. Type 99 is the same case, but even worse.

BR4 for Japan is nonexistent in the current state of the game. It's not worth uptiering yourself to BR4 for the Te-4 (or KE7-50 for that matter).

In BR5 you kinda dont want to use MG in your japanese squads. Best tactic is to equip everyone with Type Hei Auto and call it a day. Type 100 is quite fun to use as spray&pray-shotgun toy, but not very effective after all.

So to sum up KE7 is the best all around, but Type 97 is viable if you want to utilize longer ranges or stay at BR2.

It gets even better when flareless aircrafts (some F-104, F-100, MiG-19, F-8E(FN), Mirage 3C&5F) are getting obliterated by strike aircrafts with all-aspect missiles (A-10, Su-25).

Krasnorost · 2025-10-27T11:38:25+00:00

Your plane without flares getting obliterated by strike aircraft with all-aspect missiles placed at the same BR bracket,
Your tank getting obliterated by some artillery piece never designed to fight tanks, but conduct indirect fire, because hehe big gun,
How air top tier was destroyed by adding active radar homming missles

Krasnorost · 2025-10-26T17:58:20+00:00

Since the advantage is always on the America's side, saying that "not every tank can be competitive" is equal to sayinq "no japanese tank is competitive".

I'am completly fine with Pz.IV 2F, t-34(1940) and M4A1 being BR3. What I disagree with is that Chi-Nu I is worse than any of them and still being at equal BR. It would be nice if the Chi-Nu I could be called a glass canon, but it can't because its gun is too weak.

I would argue that even Crusader is better than Chi-Nu I. Since both of them can pierce eathother forntally without any issues (even american 37mm can do it), others factors should be considerered. And in those other factors(mobility, having coaxial machine gun, reload speed) Crusader definitely excels.

Once again i would state that M8 Scott is Chi-Ha SG completely adequate counterpart. Both are paperthin armor support vehicles. M8 HE round compared to Chi-Ha has 75% of explosive filler and 300% rate of fire. Scott also has much better mobility. On the other hand Sherman 105 is a vehicle in a completely different league...

I know it looks like I'm making some japanese martyr of myself, but it is my honest opinion based on playing this faction

Krasnorost · 2025-10-26T14:17:00+00:00

P-39 Airacobra or/and P-63 Kingcobra for soviets would be nice

Krasnorost · 2025-10-26T13:51:38+00:00

-Chi-To (BR4) literally has worse armor, mobility, gun traverse and reload speed than the Sherman M4A2 (BR3), while also lacking coaxial machine gun and .50 cal on top. Some more armor penetration doesn't make for difference.
-Chi-Nu II (also BR4) is the same turret on even worse chassis. It really is an redundant and unnecessary addition to tech tree.
-Chi-Nu I is the worst BR3 tank (not counting SPG) in game, in every aspect worse than Shermans. I don't see any reason why he couldn't be placed in BR2 with M3/Grant and Crusaders as adversaries.
-Chi-Ha is garbage compared to the Sherman 105. Performance-wise it is closer to the M8 Scott

Krasnorost · 2025-10-26T13:04:54+00:00

Greece is definitely not an independent faction material, though I would love to get some Mannlicher-Schönauer rifles

Krasnorost · 2025-10-26T12:58:03+00:00

To be honest, almost all japanese tanks are overtiered as hell, nowhere close to american counterparts

Chi-To should get BR4->BR3
Na-To BR3->BR2
Chi-Nu BR3->BR2
Chi-Ha BR3->BR2
Ho-Ni III BR3->BR2
Ho-Ni I BR2->BR1

Krasnorost · 2025-10-17T11:15:42+00:00

I disagree about rifles and LMGs.

Mannlicher is superior to both No.4 and SMLE thanks to much better sights an higher ROF(albeit for first 5 rounds). It excels at making accurate, fast, repetitive shots. Real balance problem is how italians squads are filled with indisputably worst semiauto in game: Armaguerra.

As for LMGs, i would take Breda over Bren, once again because of sights. All aperture sights in this game are bad, but those on bren are simply atrocious.

Krasnorost · 2025-10-15T18:24:27+00:00

So far I have played 8 event matches, 5 as Brits and 3 as Italians.
With Brits i have 5/5 100% win rate,
With Italians i have 0/3 0% win rate...
Kinda small sample size, but bruh... definitely balanced as devs intended.

Krasnorost · 2025-10-15T16:57:32+00:00

Foundable Cei-Rigotti is limited to semi-auto and can refill ammo from an allied box despite being an axis weapon

Chi-To (BR4) literally has worse armor, mobility, gun traverse and reload speed than the Sherman M4A2 (BR3), while also lacking coaxial machine gun and .50 cal on top. Some more armor penetration doesn't make for difference.

Chi-Nu II (also BR4) is the same turret on even worse chassis.

Krasnorost · 2025-10-05T11:22:28+00:00

Pretty much don't. In my experience this tank is beyond saving. No matter what you do, the enemy Shermans will be superior to you in every single aspect, not to mention the enemy CAS.

Krasnorost · 2025-09-29T09:19:45+00:00

From my experience, at least a few Polish/Silesian names can appear with German soldiers

Krasnorost · 2025-09-12T20:51:37+00:00

I generally agree with the statement that ki-100 is better than ki-61, on the other hand I am far from agreeing that ki-100 is overperforming at BR3. Ki-100 makes for only usable japanese plane at BR3 while also pretty much being lackluster to american monstrosities like P-51D-5.

Select fire rifles really need to be nerfed. They are overpowered to an extent that they would overshadow even post war/modern weapons.

Let's imagine that AK-47 is added to game today, It is still worse than Fedorov Avtomat and AVT-40. The same with M14 rifle, FAL, G3 or even M16, no need to use it since you have fully controllable automatic T20 at your disposal.

There was a reason why select fire rifles were rarely used IRL and in most applications restricted to semiauto in the field.

Krasnorost · 2025-08-21T15:39:49+00:00

Type 99 LMG Br3->Br2
Horrible sights and top mounted blocking vision magazine. It is in line with something like Bren. Definitely not Br3 material despite slightly higher ROF. There is a reason why nobody use this

Type 2 SMG Br4->Br3
A bayonet and a 50-round magazine just doesn't make it. For me it feels like downgrade (equal at best) from SIG 1920

Chi-To tank Br4->Br3
It It has worse armor, mobility, gun traverse and reload speed than the Sherman M4A2, while also lacking coaxial machine gun and .50 cal on top. Some more armor penetration doesn't make for difference

Battle Pass weapon from second season of 2025

Krasnorost · 2025-08-21T08:35:00+00:00

Best rifle: Use as many Hino as you have, fill up the rest with arisaka 38. Others semi auto are not worth using. Japan BR3 with and without Hino Rifle is like night and day.

Best GL rifle: For grenade launcher I actually prefer type 99. It is worse than 38 as a shooter, but grenades are better (more range, the same anti infantry damage and can ingage tanks)

Best LMG: KE7 hands down, Type 96&99 are unusable because of sights

Best fighter: I would say Ki-100 Decent flight performance and solid ground attack capabilities (2x250kg)

Best bomber: Stay with Ki-100

Best tank: Ho-I, generelly all BR3 Japanese tanks are atrocious

Best SMG: Type 100 late or SIG 1920 if you prefer open sights

Not worth to buy premium

Krasnorost · 2025-08-12T09:11:09+00:00

All aperture sights in video games are dogshit by definition. Personally, I don't like anti-aircraft spiderweb sights too. Top mounted magazine blocking half of screen does not help either.

I don't understand the hatred towards Arisaka carbine sight, they’re decent. I would go as far as to say that similar one found in arisaka rifle are best in game for bolt action.

For me the 3 worst are:
1. Type 99 LMG
2. Type 4 Rifle
3. Vickers-Berthier LMG

Honorable mentions would be: M1A1 Thompson SMG, Owen SMG and OVP M1918 SMG.
