Japanese Hard Attack Values in PzC

[Steel God]

I was really hopeful that the answer would not be that it represents suicide squads using Lunge Mines or Satchel Charges because historically those methods produced really pathetic results and if anything the HA values should be worse not better if that's what they represent.  It feels like a pure play balance issue, which is how things were done 20 years ago and feels a little backwards.  Anyway, thanks for the help in trying to understand it all.

And Dev - I'm playing the Japanese (that shouldn't shock you ) not the Americans.  Although in truth what I should say is my opponent is playing the Americans and my role is to die as slowly as possible
