[2023] Japan's useless focuses

Alexander 'The Grape' said: Let's have a look shall we?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the Japanese tree was done before 35 day focuses were really a thing. This might factor into their awkwardness in the current state of the game.

To be honest, yes, I think a lot of those focuses should be 35 day focuses or reworked in other ways.

But...

...It does occur to me that in some cases, the focuses are kind of bad because to make them any better would make Japan OP from the historical angle. Japan really wanted to punch above its weight historically, and they made a good effort in doing so. But could you imagine for a moment how OP Japan would be if she had focuses like Germany does?

(Although, now that I think about it, I'm not the biggest fan of factories given out for free via focuses in the first place. Germany has some, and Tankograd for the Soviets come to mind as "Pay PP, get a ton of factories for free.")
