These are just Heavy cruisers and battleships hè…
They also have a lot of destroyers which havent been added yet, also light cruisers and the Kaibokan type ships.
They also still lack lots of submarine hunters, gun boats, coastal patrol boats and guided missle ships.
Most of those have the class already represented in game, adding the same ship over and over would get really boring after a while, oyodo and kitakami maybe but the rest are just sister ships and not really needed
Then the most funniest part of this story is this:
Gaijin: “More vehicles will be added over time”.
THATS A LIE, they arent going to be added. Things were promised 8 years ago yet havent seen the light of day.
Also the reason why we havent gotten any Japanese WWII tank and plane in the last 4 years. Which were the A6M5 HEI and Ro-Go Exp in Ixwa strike on 10 March 2021.
It’s boring when a ship has terrible modernization, and those that are in the game mostly have early years of modernization. And we need not only early ones but also late ones, where there will be radars and enhanced air defense and other gadgets
They are needed.
The current lineups and ships for Japan or borderline bad Especially the 4.7-5.0 area, where you have no armour, 8 torpedoes and long reloads, while facing Russian and American autofiring cannons with SAP rounds, which also pen more then yours.
Thing is as well japan has the entire build run of some of their classes, and most of the others in terms of cruisers and battleships (looks at the 3 mogamis, both furutakas, 2 myokos, 3 kongos and so on) so i really dont get where you get the idea of them being the “worst” from when there really isnt much to pull from to begin with, not to mention the vast majority of those are in either mid or late war configuration
With this new ASM being IR homing and being allowed to target tanks will other nations such as Japan with its ASM-2 (original ASM-2 is IR tracking) be allowed to be added and used against tanks?
Similarly will GCS-1 which is IR (and already in the files and has 3d models!) also be added these domestic options would be nice CAS for existing Japanese aircraft.
Show me literally any destroyer that actually has a decent amount of armor protection, the 4.7 destroyers were built for anti aircraft fleet defender so their guns naturally will not be too effective vs ships and the torpedoes are literally amongst the top dogs in the entire game
Having played the Agano, Furutaka and Aoba… They really arent fun to play.
Long reloads, almost no armour, inaccurate guns a very slow gun traverse as well…
While facing SAP and APHE American and Russian autocannons.
American reloads are 10 seconds stock. The Japanese reloads are 20 seconds stock.
Thats twice the firerate with a faster turret traverse and better armour…
Playing Japan naval is not fun at all. More decompression is needed, and better modifications are needed. Thus including sister ships as well.

Its Japan, so its probably: “in the makings, but not done yet”, “No, we dont have such plans”, or “Japan didnt use them against ground targets, so we dont implement it”.
Yeah…which sucks because GCS-1 was denied years ago BECUASE of its IR capabilities. ASM-2 i can some what understand why it hasn’t been added yet and its not because of the IR imaging but because of its performance but with this new U.S ASM being added i hope they look into these weapons for Japan more as it would add FnF CAS to basically all domestic Japanese jets from F-1 to F-15J.
