Why no Japanese divisions

[Double N'wah]

Its not like they never actually engaged with British and Australians etc

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Hong_Kong
As one example, and of course they fought with the US.

Seems an arbitrary limitation. Im sure most people would prefer Japanese divisions and very few people would oppose it except those with issues.

As much as I would agree that adding more battle theaters would be cool, they simply wont do it. Apperantly the game code is ancient and only a few people in their company know it. Best to just wait for Steel Division 3 and hope they add more battle theaters and different years of the war.

They would be better off doing an alternate history version where WW2 kept going and countries developed further.

I fail to see how mythical super pershing vs maus is more interesting than LT vz. 35's actually fighting for Czechoslovakia as an example.

BRING THE JAPANESE UNITS IN THE GAME FOR THE SD2 TIME PERIOD. APPROVED!

Cyber, this has been suggested before in the forums and received Dr. Madmat's response.

If you search for it you should be able to find the original thread.

If I recall correctly, Dr. Madmat was concerned by the fact that Japanese divisions lacked sufficient mechanization to be put into the game.

That's the point. The game arena focus on Europe 1944. Also, J*A*P weapon can't match European countries at all.

No Japan because no boats

JAPAN IS GRANTED FUTURE TECH WEAPONS FOR GAME BALANCE OR MORE NUMBERS, APPROVED!

That sounds like Red Alert 3 mate. Are they going to have Yuriko?

It literally can if Bulgaria/Finland/NOV exists in game tbf.

Price and availability make bad units good, and given IJN holdouts a gimmick of fanatical being common would help them a bit.

No personal interest in seeing Japan added, but it seems ridiculous to suggest it'd be impossible to make them semi-competitive.
