RS Japanese semi automatic rifles

[K98-Schütze[GER]]

I think, for gameplay balance, there should be a rare implementation for japanese semi automatic rifles.

Like the MKB42 in Stalingrad....

Off course not the amount in comparation like the US forces own, but just 2 or even 1 slot for the japanese would be good.

Its kind of really easy for the americans to fight down the enemy.

Type 4 / Type 5 rifles

NO
...coconuts killed more men,than this thing.

If this was implemented, one or two should spawned randomly with a low chance (>10%) on a late war map in an obscure corner or something, like almost an easter egg than actual practical weapon.

 

[Jpz38 Hetzer]

No.

 

[Moskeeto]

No. This is almost as bad as the suggestion to make flamethrowers explode when shot.

This would be even better if this also triggered the explosion of all the grenades on the entire Allied team. *Boom team head shot!* Golden Eagle Unlock

Voted no.

 

[vulix14]

I would agree but I don't like the idea of prototype weapons. We gun TI should really add the Grease Gun.

 

[K98-Schütze[GER]]

Could you also write why you think its a bad idea?
Would 1 or 2 semi rifles have such an evil impact for the american side lovers?

 

[Moskeeto]

It's a bad idea because it was never used in combat.

 

[K98-Schütze[GER]]

Well, thats a good argument.
1 slot with captured enemy Garand possible?

This japanese prototypes - were send actually to some troops or not?

Do they also have magic suction that doesnt let it leak? Dont overreact. Dont make me start with the issues of the flamer please

They do actually, it's called differential pressure. That's 11th grade science for ya.

I disagree with it on historical grounds. I'm less opposed to Axis using "captured" M1's although I'm skeptical it happened very often. Axis heros can already do this I assume? I'm not a leveler upper.

I'm in agreement, Axis hero's should be able to use the Garand, if the Japanese need a semi auto rifle that badly. AFAIK you can't spawn with the M1 Garand as Axis. I believe on certain maps you can spawn with the M1 Carbine as certain hero classes like, mortar. But the M1 Carbine is one of the worst weapons in the game, so I prefer the bolt action over the Carbine.
I'd settle for a BAR for MG hero class too, at level 50 it's essentially an MG capable of being shoulder fired.

Personally I don't think Axis NEEDS it that badly, but I would never turn down a new weapon, it just adds more choices IMO, that's never a bad thing. Don't like it? Don't use it.

 

[Clowndoe]

Don't like it? Don't use it.

You underestimate the butthurt one can feel when being gunned down by an MKb-wielding Russian, or a Japanese player with a drum-mag thompson, just for authenticity reasons.

 

[The Univermag's ghost]

mmmmmmmhhhhhhh..... i would prefer a silenced PTRS.

Thats cool. 2nd shot your magic pressure is gone. You might be asking yourself, why would I shoot the tank when you can shoot the carrier? Well, in iwo jima, there have been TONS of times where the tank is exposed since thr high elevation and angle when the flamer is hiding behind cover. Just shoot it and bam. Another rifleman

This mod is based in reality, since not a single Japanese semi automatic rifle was ever fielded, it can never be implimented, so this topic is effectively pointless

 

[K98-Schütze[GER]]

@Murder Inc
Yes...finally I understood all arguments (at least this, that such rifles were never fielded)....
....still there is a thing worth to discuss about it.
2 or even 1 slot of captured Garand's....

...as 1 captured Garand would appeal on battlefield - no big deal in my eyes.
But for game balance it might be better, as now, normally americans win maps.
(Yes, I also played a lot of japanese victories, I dont say it, but the rule is in my experience that americans win easily. A single semi rifle for the Tenno would not change a lot, but giving japanese troops a better chance to stay in combat.)
