Japan 45 - Japanese kill too many tanks?

[nealsmith1763]

Hi all,

New member and new to these games.  I own Japan 45 and that's it so far.

I played through the "historical" 195 turn campaign game.

It seemed the Japanese were very effective at killing US tanks through fire.  They didn't have man-portable AT to speak of and they just didn't have that many AT guns to justify what I was seeing.  Their "doctrine" was going to be to rely on close assault and suicide attacks.

I checked the values in the ob editor.  The have a hard attack rating of 8-9/1!!!   The US, with bazooka, etc. are only rated 2/1...

8 or 9 might be more valid in an assault, but at range?  We are talking about 2 kms here... lol

Any thoughts?  Has anyone gone through the effort of changing all of these units?

Thanks,
Neal
