Japanese Anti Tank Weapons

But how do we get people to use these suicide tactics plus you've to get close. Give them extrapoints for suicide attacks? And should the suicides affect reinf if it's the only way to stop tanks?

 

[Dwin]

People already play suicidally as it is, no need to give any extra incentives.

 

[Redit]

Don't think of it as playing suicidally, it's more like using the only available anti tank methods available to you

 

[Seth_Soldier]

this remind me the kamikaze kit in fh1.
You could activate a satchel and you were shouting BANZAI.

Basically you just need to wait for americans to come to capture a village/flag and then you run to the group and boom

 

[SiC-Disaster]

Well you've got a choice.
Dying by tankfire, or dying and taking the tank with you as you go. I know which i'd prefer

They should definitely affect reinforcements, there needs to be some kind of penalty. Sacrificing one reinforcement would be worth it if you blow up a tank that keeps murdering your team. But if you screw up and get killed before you can do anything you get 'punished' by wasting one reinforcement for nothing.

 

[Redit]

A rifleman reinforcement can be wasted. One rifleman can take out a squad or get killed before he manages anything. One kamikaze sapper can destroy a tank or get killed before he manages anything.

The important question is: Will that AT spear thingy have a bayonet?

 

[Redit]

Just stab it into people and watch out for the pink mist.

Sounds fun.

I think the 'suicide' attack is a legitimate option. The team would have to figure out if the loss of reinforcements was worth the potential time it would buy them, especially if it could mean taking out a critical weapon like an MG or vehicle, etc. As the fighting would get desperate near the end of the round, do you fall back to the last line and hope to hold out, send out a few guys on banzai attacks to slow down the attackers, etc. Any tactic/strategy to meet the end goal of victory would be on the table... "theoretically".

I shudder to imagine the Steam achievements for this game (assuming there will be any, of course)

 

[Redit]

"Kill 20 enemy soldiers in one kamikaze attack."

 

[Miro!]

"Kill 20 enemy soldiers in one kamikaze attack."

The Holy Grail

 

[slavek]

Banzai!


"Kill X# of enemy soldiers with a bayonet and behead the enemy Squad Leader/Officer with a katana in one life!"

Something I strive for. :IS2:

failed kamikaze attack:
kill 10 people in 1 live with a suicide satchel charge but fail to die yourself.

Rest assured guys, this is something I've been putting a lot of thought (and research hours) into. The Japanese will have a number of valid AT techniques, some more effective than others. We're just nowhere near ready to discuss publicly what those might be. One thing I can say though, is not to expect the Japanese force and its armaments to be a mirror image of the American one.
