Aint gonna hurt nobody!

Well, I haven't played much against the Japanese except vs the AI.. so for what ever my opinion might be worth.. the more fire power, the better.. as you do have to KIA the whole squad otherwise the last standing will still keep coming..

Japanse troops usually are not well equipped to handle armored vehicles of any kind - even lightly armored HT's.. so perhaps the best thing you can use against raging Japanese are SPAA's.. I vote for the M15.. you get two killing shots with each firing round.. the 37mm auto cannon, then the twin .5o cal mg's.. another one that is useful are LVT's armed with multiple MG's. M3 scout cars are also helpful.. but be careful, I've run into some OOB's that have the scout car, and no ammo for the other 2 MG's

pretty decent ammo supply, and if you have 1 per platoon of grunts it's better than having an entire platoon of mg's.. the grunts keep the enemy at bay, and the SPAA can hose things down nicely..

If Japanse tanks show up.. the 37mm has enough punch to take care of them.. but a pair of Shermans per rifle company is helpful..
