No Japan?

First Wolfenstein, and now Hell Let Loose? God ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ damnit, that's 2 WW2 games in a row without the Japanese!

[★Captain Kirk★]

They will be adding them at some point. Sometime after the British I would imagine we will get the pacific theater.

I am tired of fighting Germans ffs, in %90 of WW2 games you fight Germans; The Japanese, on the other hand, bring new tactics instead of shooting and taking cover.
For example in Japanese case: Shooting at the palm trees, surprise attacks, booby traps, kamikaze planes, banzai charges (Which by the way, in Rising Storm 1 if you do a banzai charge between several, you accumulate a speed and resistance bonus) and melee fights with bayonets.

Yeah it is like Vietnam 1.0 and I'd love to see that.

Yes, they will, but the developers had tons of undone on the roadmap.

As a Japanese WW2 enthusiast myself I also feel this way. Its been a long time since Rising Storm 1 came out and we need something more modern to fill the gap. I wouldn't count on the devs to add them for at least another 2 years at this rate since they said they'd release the British at some point on their roadmap and that was announced last summer. They also probably wont force players to use pacific uniforms on the US team and that will no doubt break the aesthetic of the maps. As for new tactics, wouldn't count on that either. The influx of basic gamers that are ruining the servers wont like it if one team can use special ambush methods like you said before. Kind of losing faith in this game tbh.

I am totally agree with you.

[Hylie Pistof]

try Silent Hunter 4, you can fight Japanese from your Submarine ;)

although there where many of battles on land with infantry, alot of the war success in the pacific was due to the fleets and especialy aircraft carriers.

i guess there not as much battlefields they can redesign like the little french and german villages and areas the fights took place.
some islands where not much more then a corral riff with a dusty airfield, some barracks and a provisional harbour for supplys.

much more options in europe for an infantry based war game, even Africa ... like Tobruk.

maybe the Australians know more about that aera and the places, and wanted to start this game with the European places, that where not as common to them.
but dont get me wrong, it would be nice to see something different of that time - i aggree totaly!

crawling through a jungle...cant see the enemy 2 steps away with all the foliage... no idea where you are, jammed rifle because its not meant for that clima and got hot, wet and dirty (XD, no you wankers, thats not what i meant)

now im waiting for the british and hopefully some north african and italian maps, then i hope we will get the pacific sometime

ww2 USMC enthusiast here and yeah I couldn't agree more, it pains me to think we will see winter camo on Betio or Army Airborne on Saipan....

I'd rather have the Japanese added, than the British, to be honest.

I'm not sure they ever confirmed it.

pacific maps would be more gangster

You should be asking for depth not width. If, we get a Pacific Theater, it's going to be Pacific Lite. Meanwhile, other campaigns in and around the existing maps won't be fleshed out, and you will not see any updates to the existing content till they've exhausted their kick-starter commitments, of which they are only completing on a series of technicalities. Few of the updates they've put out have worked as intended, and for every bit of content they add, features have been removed due to time constraints.

The amount of problems the still unfinished Russian update brought to the game STILL have not been addressed, and likely will remain until after Britain is added, since the devs have motioned in that direction already. Jumping from Britain to Japan after that many years on the shelf may as well extend to the end of this game's life. We're talking 2-3 years of the same bugs and broken game mechanics.

I don't want to sound like a ♥♥♥♥, but yall really should see this stuff coming: Do you understand the meta of this game enough to even know how many issues are unresolved at this moment? How much of this game have you actually played, to be asking for Japan and not complaining about loadout bugs and objects not rendering. Maybe you don't look more than 100 meters in front of you, so you don't notice the enemy infantry standing on the hill in plain view because the wall they are hiding behind doesn't render beyond 300m.

I've noticed alot of ♥♥♥♥ like this, playing MG team with my lil-bro. I use binos to spot targets at the max render distance of 500m. We regularly target infantry beyond that range, despite the LMG's spread being nerfed by 300%. Fighting the engine's poor render distance is a regular part of the game for me, at max settings.

(just to name one example)

we need the British which is coming with what seems to be many of the colonies such as Canada, Australia and so one New Zealand and Australia fought the Japanese we need them before the Japanese

That would be original and great tbh.

But I doubt that devs will add China.
I never saw an online WW2 shooter with China vs Japan.
