If the Light Cruisers are picked as escorts, due to shared nature of practical, Heavy Cruisers can become a good capital ship supplement to the fleet. Using of a healthy mix of Carriers and cruisers is advised to limit own losses. Carriers don't need to be the main component of the fleet though.
Capital: To effectively project Japanese power to the provinces thousands of kilometres of sea away, a fleet built around Carriers is necessary. Due to the large expanses of water between frendly bases in the Pacific, the IJN can make better use of Light Cruisers. Escorts: Japan will need to choose one escort type: either a Destroyer or Light Cruiser. Naval technologies should be given priority due to the construction times involved and the inability to upgrade: Advanced players might consider Rocket Artillery instead of conventional artillery considering they work better in the rough terrain of Asia. Later on you will have to give your divisions adequate AT and AA capabilities to give them protection from allied and soviet bombers and armour. Artillery At a minimum field artillery should be kept up-to-date. Advanced players may consider medium armour, armored cars, and sp-art especially for later parts of the game and wars in India, Siberia and eventually for invading the US. But if you want tanks, a force of light armour regiments can really shine if you manage to blitz your way through the Chinese infantry lines, thus they will repay you ten-fold. Armor: Due to Japan's shortage on resources and general supply problems, armor is of very limited utility. 
In 1936, infantry specializations are important to work towards.
Infantry technology: The backbone of Japan's military, steady research here will be important throughout the game. Japan can start the game with around 15 to 18 leadership allocated to research, depending on the player's other priorities.Īrmy technologies help ensure Japan maintains a quality advantage over its adversaries. Japan starts with plenty of Leadership to get all the equipment and doctrines future wars demand, but still research should be primarily focused on current year technologies to avoid heavy penalties. 7.4.2 Original names for Japanese military forces.
