He has arrived and with a swath of swedish favoritism posts yay…ping me when i dont have to see people crying about something
He specifically said ww2 ships, then proceeded to only give postwar examples, got nothing wrong with it but I don’t see how japan suffers in naval when they have the best torpedoes in the game at lower brs, powerful guns to get through rank 2, then some very capable heavy cruisers and very capable not to mention the most capital ships
torps only help in certain situations but IJN DDs suffer from the issues i stated above. IJN Light cruisers are also mediocre and its not until the tone, mogami and haguro that you feel the better firepower. Japan has a great top naval and decent to good CAs but below that its meh at best.
You have kako and furutaka that have the same heavy cruiser guns and are more than capable of holding their own at their respective brs
Well I for one think its a good, if slightly low effort, addition, the Penguin missile is the interesting thing, not the aircraft tbf, but it’s another step closer to a Scandinavian tree.
But yeah, people love to complain, even though the aircraft only gets the one penguin, I am interested in how it’s going to work as a sea skimming missile, given that they intend it to work in ground battles. Are you at all familiar with the penguin?
kako has an extremly long reload and very inaccurate guns and the taco is alright but being at 5.7 you face things like helena and other fast firing or out right better CAs anyway due to compression in a down tier ill agree its a decent ship tho.
Literally most of the posts want the penguin missile removed…
No i didn’t learn much of Kongsbergs upgrades to the 5A

My point is that japan really doesn’t struggle if played strategically, yes the HE only can be annoying but there’s ships in place so you’re not exclusively stuck with those now
wait why? i welcome the missile as it gives me hope for other IR based ASM used against tanks

Why exactly they reload that fast compared to others?
Plus it gives the Norwegian F-5 that tiny bit of uniqueness
oh for sure im not saying Japan is worst off its not just that it could use some little help at lower BRs

Not if it gets removed lol, considering the German mains are on it it probably will. Unfortunately i agree, if it couldn’t do it then it shouldn’t have it.
That help is already there tbh, harukaze and murasame are adequate to handle that, and kako is enough to get through rank 3
They had assisted loading mechanisms that gave them that rate of fire, its partly what made the US 5 inch such a good dual purpose gun
it’s different, GCS-1 is not IIR seeker, more close to ir missile’s non-imaging seeker, not suit for ground target and it’s way of using also not suit for the game
the similar one is ASM-2, which should come with F-2
though it also has some problem with ASM-2, it’s normal way of using is LOAL, the missile fly by IOG then the seeker lock the target by it self.
Yeah, it shouldn’t have capabilities that it didn’t IRL however they may as well keep it in the game even without A2G capability, like the AS.34 it does nothing, but it does nothing in a fun way
Anyways the missile wasn’t why I pinged you, it was because a US jet under the Norwegian flag got added to Sweden, it’s more proof of a united Scandinavia under Sweden
F-2 has sniper pod which can be used to most likely slave the seeker. plus the ASM-2B is GPS guided that can be added too.
EJ Kai can probably use it but most likely would have to get closer for better targeting.
