Lol they are not technology superior. They are just disregard user safety for result. Long lance actually use wood casing and have low shelf life. A6M zero skip alot of armor for mobility that it will easily turn into ball of fire. Their ships are terrible for the crew. And their training require a lot of bullshitery like vit A supplement and have to wake up early in the morning not to damage your eyes.

I dont think they are supperior. Wood cassing and using propellant that everyone reject for safety reason. You defiantly dont want to sit behind Zero or crewing their ships. They have high casualty rate specially those who carry long lance. 6.5 Arisaka are not good enough for the period to the point they have to introduce 7.7. Everyone including the USSR already planing for semi auto battle rifle.

@whitephosphorus15 Do American fighter need protection against 50 cal? No, the Japanese need them. Im sure trade off with crew comfort and survival is stupid. Thats why oxygen torpedo is stupid its rare for IJN ship to survive long fight. A6M that more likely to kill its pilot also stupid. All of their design have no safety standard. Their design philosophy is to hit fast and hard and hope your enemy give up. What happen if they never give up? They screwed.

@silentbob5566 Im sure its more about 10 years of fighting biplanes in China. They also have trouble launching coordinated attack latter.

@bakters Im sure they wont need it if they have plan not to return. Their pilot casualty already staggeringly high. Is that part of the doctrine? Or design feature? Their pilot are agressive because they have 10 years of experience fighting the Chinese. Those people will eventually die with such unsafe planes and they will be replaced by recruits. And those recruits are hardly aggressive when not doing suicidal attack.

@Happy Carnivore Lol yea but you need to put people in your war machine. This is why safety and ergonomic matters a lot. Or else your own machine are more likely to kill your own men than the other side. Which is what happen to IJN. Their oxygen torp burn many of their own ships. Their plane easily turn into fireball and their poor ergonomic cause accidents in prolonged fight.

AK 47 is their attempt to copy M1 garand. Also most of Soviet mg does not use German blowback design. They use their own lighter gas operated design.
2
@GOPGonzo Nah! They try to go past unsave because those who plan and approve those plan are not the one who use them. Those design will never get approved in US or UK or even Germany or even USSR. They just forget that those equipment need pilot/crew. I dont think highly trained pilots can mitigate stress caused by un ergonomic or faulty design. And only handful of captain are able to jettison their highly volatile oxygen torp before it blow up.

@mvfc7637 IJN adopt them because they still believe in visual detection, range finding and they invest almost none in radar technology. They never have any advanced technology, even the Brits think about adopting oxygen torps but abandon it because safety reason. And Zero is not advanced technology but a design that will never acceptable for other nations.

No wind tunnel test

@mvfc7637 Yeah. They just forgot to calculate that they need people to crew those ships. This is a problem which happen if people who play war games all the time is the one who approve their procurement plan. All their ships have the same problem btw. For a nation that often hit by typhoon none of their ship are typhoon proof. They just want faster ship bigger guns, more ammo and more range. They forget everything else. Brits also experiment with oxygen torpedo but they decide to drop it because safety reason. Thats why their technology are nowhere advance. They just disregard safety for result. Which ended up badly for them since WW2 is an attrition war.

@mvfc7637 Its stupid because its volatile and the reason why IJN ships often turn into barbecue party. Take hint that nobody use oxygen torp after the war.
1
@mvfc7637 IJN lost many of their ship to storm before the war and thats why they actively avoiding to sail into the storm. Im sure many accident involving type 93 happen mostly after midway. Because loosing air superiority they became vulnerable to air attack. Aoba for example managed to survive that long because every time they receive air attack the first thing they did is to ditch all their torpedoes. Ofc during Midway Mogami choose to ditch all their torpedoes while Mikuma choose to keep them. Mikuma turn into BBQ.
1
@mvfc7637 Yea that is what happen if war gamer are the one who decide everything. They are not the one who crew those ship. IJN ship are all top heavy so it will capsize during typhoon. Also those famous pagoda mast already give you vertigo during normal condition, specially those two fuso class, let alone during storm. Also capsize when sailing into storm are different than capsize when anchored in a port during storm.

@Pangora2 What kind of advanced technology they have?
1
@bakters One occasion 6 Japanese pilot against two American and those two won.
1
@philvanderlaan5942 isnt Sovietky Soyuz 65k, not 72k but close? Also its targeting system still use spotter plane. Their boiler system are not even close to Iowa class. Big battle ship have nothing to do with welding technology but requirement from their navy. US need BB that can go through Panama Canal. Also the welding technology used in ship construction are different than those used in tank construction. M4 and T-34 use submerged arc welding using automated machine.
1
@bakters Several single account will added up over time until one side no longer have anything.
1
@Pangora2 Can you elaborate more about their advanced naval and aviation tech?
1
@Pangora2 Well then you should elaborate more about the advantage of not having armor and self seal fuel tank.
1
@Happy Carnivore Yea but trade off are not tech advance. For example they adopt oxygen torp. Which actually abandoned British tech because safety reason. So basically they have long range torp and also have some of their ships toasted as trade off. And Zero like you said trade off everything that get the plane itself unusable by the allies.
1
@Vuda22 Nope! They just dont have casting or welding technology required to produce better tanks.
1
@Happy Carnivore Lol if you want to die for your country go a head but do it to defend your own country not to invade others. Japanese and Germans are guilty for these and thats why all their leaders deserve to be hanged and their ashes scattered without honor. Also kinda sad it limited to their leaders both country should be torched to the ground. Also both Japan and German issue general conscription and draft dodger are put to death. You either join their army or hanging by the lamp post.
1
@Happy Carnivore Also note both countries are totalitarian. Im sure you like living under totalitarian regime so you give them the praise. Both also lost the war btw.

@yannichudziak9942 You dont shoot 533km/h plane with guns with 600km/h projectile.
1
@yannichudziak9942 Missread or not its point of aim are different and since it shoot heavier projectile it drop faster. If Mig 15 fail to deliver good result in a dog fight how on earth you expect zero can deliver better. Usually you dont shoot auto cannons on other flying targets because its much harder to aim.
1
@yannichudziak9942 When on earth I claim its not used? I said its not a good idea to use it against other plane because etc. Mig is one of fine example of failed attempt to use dual weapon system. Oh btw everyone else also did the same not just Japan so its not like they have advanced tech. And guess what? After the war only the Russian still use dual weapon system with no good result and they eventually giveup. Its not a good idea to use two weapons. Specially with targeting system they use. Oh and Anti wehraboo is a good thing. Anyone who still defending their dumb shit is stupid. Not making their plane and ships safe to use is stupid. Installing pagoda mast is stupid. Not spending a dime in radar tech is stupid. And wehraboo gear is always overrated and thats why they lost the war.
1
@yannichudziak9942 See... this is the problem with wehreaboo since you somehow forgot that they still need to aim those guns before shooting. The problem with auto cannon and MG combo is with its targeting device. Cannon shoot much slower and heavier projectile than MG thats why they need two targeting devices. Plane of this era usually sighted with its mg by default and they have another sight for its cannon and because of its design they are not accurate specially when shooting moving target. And they eventually introduce new gun alleviate this problems by increasing its velocity, but in the end they have to create a new weapon system using another cartridge causing another logistical problem. Have you ever wonder why they lose? I said over and over Mig is one of fine example of dual weapon implementation that went horrible. This one is better documented because its still in service while others like Zero already in the realm of myth.
1
@yannichudziak9942 Did they ever change cartridge and fuck their logistic mid war? The smart solution is to focus which of the main gun you will use. Not to introduce new ammunition.
1
@yannichudziak9942 Yes yes yes I know. The Brits change but they went full cannons in the end because aiming device not 50-50 like the Japs did. With 50-50 you need to equip your plane with two aiming device. the problem is the Jap value them equally unlike the Yanks and Brits who value mg more than cannons (Hint, their planes carry more MG). You said they have multiple? Yes this multiple sighting device is the problem specially for those who carry 50-50. And you cant compare the Axis with Allies for example the soviet 85mm gun is a modified version of their AA gun. Heck they even dont have HE until much latter and use frag intended for AA while their 85mm AA gun also receive some AP in case some German tanks veered into their sight. Also most of 37, 75 76 and 90 Yanks guns are based on other guns they already have before the war. And im sure its not because hind sight since oxygen torpedo already exist in Royal Navy inventory. High risk high return can only happen because they are totalitarian regime and people who play wargames are the one in charge of procurement. Most other nation will reject those weapons because they expect if war did happen it will be long and bloody. And it will be wise not to use weapons that will blow up on your face. And it not limited to air attack, one of the Atago class burn because single hit from 105mm AA gun from one of the jeep carrier.

@CharliMorganMusic Im not even American. And everyone overestimate IJN. It was IJN and IJA who underestimate everyone. So about the oxygen torpedo is that a super advance technology or something else? My argument is that oxygen torpedo is not some advanced technology but a something that abandoned by allies because safety hazard.
1
@jameshannagan4256 Oxygen torpedo are never safer. It turn simple damage too catastrophic damage. Their early success are more attributed to huge number of defective US weapons. When under attack captain that survive are those who dump all oxygen torp when they spotted US planes.
1
@Pangora2 Continue? Japanese radar are joke any of their moves after 6 months can be easily countered. And im sure long lance are the culprit behind most of their own death as well. Its stupid because none of those (zero and long lance and most of their design) will be approved by other nation military for safety reason. And nobody copy their design for post war weapons for that reason alone.
