Am I reading this correctly?

You can only play as the American side and not as the Japanese? I think that's what i am reading??

So Far TM
Japan as a playable faction is planned for release/through development.
This is a very early alpha free demo, not everything is there for the US, let alone a playable japan

This is probably coming in a TFA V2 release (probably a separate game OR DLC). Keeping the scope manageable for now.

Hello.

Yes it was a conscient decision taken early in development so as not to over-extend and keep our head straight in regard of the amount of contents and literature we wanted in. Getting the Japanese CV ops right will be done once we get the American ones pristine.

In general though the Japanese fans we have come across understand and have kindly acknowledged our commitment to respectful recreation of doctrine, ops, machines and ultimately the men who used them. We'll get there eventually, but when we do it will be clean.

Hell yea! Totally respect and love the philosophy as a Japanese fan. My understanding is that it will also be a separate game like Happy has said which you may want to reiterate to those who do not know like the OP here.

I'm glad to hear that the IJN will be playable. I am a super IJN fan and there are few games that have them playable. I am looking forward for this game's future. Especially IJN Shoukaku and her sister Zuikaku.

I totally understand the need to prioritize. I just thought i was reading that there was no intent to add the IJN as playable. I am totally ok with waiting until you polish the US and that makes total sense. I just didn't want to invest in a game where that would never be an option even in the future.
