Good point ~ so we are saying Japanese squads have issues with Japanese MGs but doesn't have issues with other people's MGs (apart from Captured Use).I do not believe non qualified use penalties would apply.
MMG/HMG/ATR: A Japanese ATR/MMG/HMG (including .50-cal) SW being fired by a Japanese squad/HS has its B# and Multiple ROF lowered by one (A.11 applies).
This indicates the penalty is a property of the Japanese MG. It does not say Japanese squads suffer non qualified use penalties.

I don't know to what specific rules you refer to, but these rules make sense to me.Kind of ridiculous, but them's the rules.
That an IJA squad pays non-qualified use penalties for a Japanese MG but not for a captured MG. Is that what the above says?I don't know to what specific rules you refer to, but these rules make sense to me.
And it doesn't seem ridiculous to you that a squad of Japanese soldiers has more dificulty effectively using their own nation's mg or atr than that of every other nation? I mean I accept the rule, just sayin.No it doesn't. The Japanese pay a penalty to use their own weapon but thst is less than the penalty they pay to use a captured weapon.

The penalty for the Japanese squad or halfsquad to use a MG of their own nationality is B# lowered by one and ROF lowered by one. The penalty for any Japanese unit (SMC, squad, halfsquad, crew) to use a captured MG is B# lowered by two and ROF lowered by one. On what basis do you say the first is worse than the second? What does not happen is that the Japanese squad or halfsquad does not pay a double penalty for a captured MG, i.e. the two penalties are not combined to make B# lowered by three and ROF lowered by two.And it doesn't seem ridiculous to you that a squad of Japanese soldiers has more dificulty effectively using their own nation's mg or atr than that of every other nation?
