I do feel like the repair truck should be baseline (maybe minus the reinforcing and the active ability), and that Steel Typhoon should get an off-map artillery instead. The idea of having to bring back vehicles to base is neat, but kind of finicky in practice.

그대로 차기작에 출시해도 될 정도로 아주 잘 만든 모드, 지금도 재미있게 플레이 중이다.

One day, or not. Perhaps the Advanced Powers folks will lend you some assistance since they do have one of the most solid Japan factions it's just sadly part of a massive mod rather than separate.

@FunnyFruit, guess the other people who worked on it no longer are there that is a shame. Well i would say make a spiritual successor to all of the Japanese related mods.

这个好欸

@Sinisterisrandom I have trouble contacting the main author of this mod so things are probably not going to happen on his side. I also don't have the latest source code of the mod which means if I continue the mod, the most recent changes would be lost

I know this is a relatively old mod. However is there any future plans to update the mod to introduce other vehicles such as the Type-5 Ho-Ri, I-Go, and other vehicles?

this mod + all units will blow the world

Join us on Coh3 discord to help make a Japanese faction expansion happen, it's getting better with ever new update surprisingly. Japan is wanted bad by a lot of people and Relic has said all fronts are on the table for expansions. Plus Relic has planned to support Coh3 as long they did Coh2.

is it possible to combine this mod/faction with all units mod??

没有中文版吗?5555~~~

这个mod不能和那个中国的结合在一起吗？这个日军的mod没有中文版吗？

Jackson- that's a pretty impressive project!
Harridan- thank you for the constructive feedback! OKW has the same number of units in the HQ, but it feels more restrictive for Japan. The faction wasn't designed like this originally, and I could certainly see the early techs getting reorganized again. It was mentioned on discord that 7.7mm feels too must-pick at the moment as well. Late game AT has been a struggle to balance, because buffing only one unit might make it too important. Gyokusai and the Coordinated Strike Zone are tricky to use. I've been looking at adding a late-game global upgrade, but haven't settled on the design. I also want Japanese infantry squads to keep more power as they lose soldiers.

I like this mod, really I do, but could you maybe not make it so that the MG and AT team aren't recruited from the same building as your base infantrymen? I mean you have Two buildings which basically recruits only One unit each. Like why have only one building where I can only build Snipers and another that can only build Mortars. Infantry Spam early game is hard to deal with because I can't get more infantry out fast enough. Other than that, fun mod, 'cept for the late game tank battles, the struggle to just kill a T-34 is sad.

Gates of Hell: Ostfront has a mod that has dozens of fully modeled/usuable Japanese vehicles and infantry types, and the same for smaller factions like Italians and Finnish. It has more realistic weapon ranges, and you can switch between traditional RTS and controlling a single vehicle or infantry.

It's bad that community can't add custom models to the game

Good work

Congratulations, ChiefPO2! That's been secret for over a year. I'll probably add an official way to select that doctrine. Feel free to add me and I'll get you your prize, like a game on sale or something.
Thanks, bentley! I got a little carried away there.

The haiku unit flavor text is a very nice touch.

I have found Hiroko and her sister Kohaku!
nice Mod I am really enjoying it!

Another commander is definitely possible. The new commander would be based on Manchukuo, as suggested. It would require a new selection system, like the one used in FunnyFruit's Forgotten Ally mod. He also designed a few new units for this mod.

do you heave plans to add new comanders ?

Strategic Reserves and Elite Troops, the Tiger Ace doctrines!

which commanders become the prototype doctrine?

Btw if this mod was ever to be expanded to include other factions (or sub-factions), I'd still be in favour of seeing some Manchukuo and/or Mengjiang troops included. They were definitely relevant to the Sino-Japanese conflict. If you didn't want to make a whole faction for them, maybe a commander for the Japanese faction would be enough? I wrote my thesis on the Manchukuo armed forces, so if you'd need any sources on them, I'd be happy to help.

No worries RoastinGhost, best to take your time and make sure it's ready, rather than rush it out the door ;)

Glad you're still enjoying the mod, komi! We don't have an estimated release date yet, but a combined version is in the works.

Still playing this mod and so happy to see it's being updated :)
Here's my fingers crossed for the day we see it combined with a China mod. The Sino-Japanese War gets almost no attention in video-games, so it'd be awesome to see this mod cover that field :)

There isn't a way to play Wehrmacht at the moment, but FunnyFruit (the Forgotten Ally dev) showed me the code for his system and I'm likely to switch to that in the future.

Is there a way to switch to Wehrmacht despite having the mod enabled? The Forgotten Ally mod seems to have switching between the Chinese and Soviets down so I thought it might be good to have the same mechanic with this mod. Thanks!

There are plans to have a combined version this mod and Forgotten Ally (the China mod) in the future.

For bulletins, that's a good question- they haven't been edited, so only a few of them will work properly. It should probably go on the to-do list, but deciding which bulletins apply to what and the sheer number of bulletins have made it low priority for me so far. I'm not a fan of the system either. But I'll consider that for a later patch.

I have wondered this for awhile now, do intel bulletins for the Werhmacht still effect what would be the corresponding IJF units?

皇军，中文版可以用不？

如果按照这个mod中日军的实力，我真的挺心疼当年二战美军，日本法西斯必死！

Thank you for the update! Glad things are working.

After the update the commander swap corresponds to the picture in mod gallery. No problem here.

My bad. Forget about those results. For some reason I had your mod unsubscribed. The version was not updated for time unknown.

Thanks for the testing and report! I'm not getting the same results; I'll respond in more detail in the design feedback section.

I have tested all German doctrines to see which IJF strategy lies underneath. Here are the current results (listed by in-game inventory):

Close Air Support => Steel Typhoon
Blitzkrieg => Naval Support
Defensive => Hidden Fortress
Festung: Armor => Holdout
Festung: Support => Divine Wind
Fortified Armor => Holdout
Jaeger: Armor => Steel Typhoon
Jaeger: Infantry => Naval Support
Mechanized Forces => BUG !!!
German Infantry => Raid
Encirclement => Raid
Joint Operations => Random
Osttruppen => Hidden Fortress
Strategic Reserve => Steel Typhoon
Mobile Defense => Steel Typhoon
Spearhead => Divine Wind
Assault => BUG !!!
Mechanized Assault => Engineering
Assault: Support => Engineering
Lightning War => Naval Support
Elite Forces => Holdout
Luftwaffe Supply => BUG !!!

The bugged ones give you either no abilities or a single misplaced one (German ,not IJF). My guess is they were supposed to turn into Prototype Strategy, as it does not seem to appear anywhere. It should be fixed.

Kev- that's happened to me too lol
Monarchist- it's not dead, it's complete. I'll still address any bugs reported, and changes could be made in the future.

is this dead?

nevermind #company workshop updates XD sry

still buggy cant deploy XD

Kev- thank you, fixed!

The Raider Group is buggy you cant deploy...

New Update: Patch-related problems have been fixed. Some German commanders now become different Japanese commanders, check the guide or images for changes.

problem some of the doctorines arent the one there suppose to be and one isnt available like the jeager armour isnt the prototype armour doc its the one with the builders doc and the mobile defense is the naval doc

Thanks for the report, Kev! There's a lot to fix, but I'm working on it.

New Commander Patch Some Commanders are Broken...
