Gaijin should create a special China-only version to satisfy those Chinese players — buff all Chinese vehicles and nerf all non-Chinese vehicles so they can play by themselves instead of coming here to complain.
To my knowledge, Japan has not issued a formal written apology to the Asian countries affected by its past actions. In 2025, then-Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba broke with tradition by refusing to issue a statement marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. Furthermore, in his capacity as President of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), he made a ritual offering to the Yasukuni Shrine, a controversial site that honors Japan’s war dead, including individuals classified as war criminals.
This has led to questions about how the Japanese people, especially younger generations with less exposure to comprehensive historical education, view the nations Japan once invaded. If you have doubts about the Chinese perspective on this matter, you might also consider asking South Koreans for their views, as they share similar concerns.
The situation is influenced by several factors in Japan:
Political shifts and national sentiment: Certain political groups in Japan downplay or deny the history of aggression, aiming to rebuild a positive national image. They often view admitting fault and offering sincere apologies as adopting a “self-defeating view of history” that harms national pride.
Official stance: While Japanese officials have made some statements acknowledging and reflecting on WWII, these have consistently fallen short of the clear, thorough, and unwavering formal apology offered by Germany. Recently, the government’s attitude has shown signs of moving backward and avoiding the issue.
Understanding and properly addressing history is crucial for Japan to build genuine trust with its neighbors and to promote peace and stability in East Asia. By avoiding historical responsibility, the Japanese government not only hinders true reconciliation with neighboring countries but also struggles to gain full respect from the international community.
No, imho they should treat all players the same, they gave two fingers to westerns so why submit to Beijing?
It’s called being 80 years ago, time have changed and moods have changed. The Japanese wants to forgive and forget to move forwards, how can they move forwards when a group of grown men still act in selfish intent?
This is not an ignoration of any actions committed by Imperial Japan, but do you think Japan would ever want to apologise? They were nuked twice, and to top it all off, they were only allowed to exist under western rule as what was essentially a buffer state due to the rapid spreading of the disease that is communism in Southeast Asia, they’re still not allowed a formal military or to engage in war.
Their continued (and utterly bastardised) existence was only permitted because the western powers viewed it as a necessity in that moment.
I know.
What I mean is that China should open a China-exclusive server to satisfy those radical Chinese players. I know not all Chinese people are like that. I was once insulted by Chinese players in a match just because my in-game ID was in Japanese.
Wow, now that just being petty for no reason
To the best of my knowledge gaijin have denied they were adding the vt4. It’s all based on a leak list is my understanding, nothing formal.
