ORIGINAL: crsutton From an Allied perspective, I find Japanese tank units virtually impotent by mid 43. I don't know how much resources I would put into these units, it is important to have a few (especially in China) but they just die like flies. With no AA support they are vulnerable to air attack in the open and very brittle on the attack. Not saying they are not useful for some things but I question if it is worth the effort to rebuild all of them over and over-which is pretty much what you will be doing. The question becomes what does the Japanese player ramp up with the consideration that resources are not endless, and come 1944 start to become scarce? My Guards Tank Division is holding the line against Bullwinkle in mid-44. Granted, it's in the jungle. This unit is not available unless Scen 2. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Tank Divisions don't seem to be quite as potent, but they still seem pretty good. The 4th Tank Division is understrength and doesn't arrive until 1944, though. Perhaps my perspective is skewed due to the experience levels of the units... Well, they are in the jungle plus they are Granted. Wait until they get Shermaned...
