Показать описание
The N1K2-J is yet another high tier Japanese prop that isn't exactly what you would call the best. It's good at low speed, the problem is that it's stuck at low speed.

Fuel: Minimum
Ammo: Universal
Convergence: 600 Meters
Vertical Targeting: no
Crew: Lvl 75 + expert

Outro: A.N.O. Vanish

this thing looks about as fun as a funeral

I remember back in 2013-2014 Shiden Kai was one of the most feared piston planes in the game.

Glad to see you taking out some Japanese props! They need some love tbh. Looking forward to the ki-84 video!

Man I haven't played war thunder in so long, but I remember the (good) times when this thing had a UFO flight model and was perfect for humbling beercan players. Sad to see it in this state.

Your point about high tier IJN/IJA planes seems perfectly fitting for my experience playing WT as a newbie. Everyone runs away from you, or they are all low on the deck and you are forced to dive towards them with your compression and your low energy retention while diving, or you choose to not climb and get boom and zoomed by Bf-109s or Lightnings. Or a bomber wins a head-on against you if you try to attack those.

Thank you for video Defyn. I´am glad someone like you draws attention to the problems with this fighter. This plane should get 5.0, because it barely can counter something like P-51 D30 due to it´s low performance. Unfortunately Gaijin will not listen any voices that say something Japanese with four cannons need lower BR. It´s useless to write on forum there is something wrong in WT because they will ban you for this with justification you insulting employees of Gaijin.

DEFYN: Plane is a struggle bus.

Also DEFYN: 5 kill match in said struggle bus.

Meanwhile most of us are happy if we get two kills in before we die.

Recently discovered I had the Pacific campaign Zero (back from 2013). Only wanted to use the free 30 repairs but in unlocking a lot of Japanese planes I kinda fell in love with them. Was debating to put a crew in the N1K but from the stats I didn’t see the point really. Seems I was right watching your video. Keep up the great work man :)

Back in 2012-14 the N1K2s were pretty badass. For the longest time, the N1K2-Ja was my plane with the most kills for a very long time. Then bit by bit it got worse, there was a time when you'd get thrown in with early jets every game and now it just sits there gathering dust in my hangar. Kinda sad.

People running away from you is something usual when you play Japanese (starting Tier 3). Enough patience and engine management bring usually 2-3 kills per game. If you have it, would like to see your view on the J7W1!

Also you said it perfectly, people just run away from you at high tiers and you end up just chasing people the entire match, generally ending in them AF camping.

This aircraft was more competitive when it came in 2013ish. I spaded it back then and didn't touch it until the other day. Totally outclassed today.

The Shiden's armament is probably what is keeping it at it's current BR, I would only hope that the repair cost can come down to match the performance. Inferior planes can still be great fun without the pressure from high repair cost.

Despite its obvious disadvantages and the fact that its grossly over tiered, I love my N1K2 Ja Shiden Kai, beautiful plane that's well armed. Nothing better than winning with the underdog

Back when the game was first out and the N1k was one of the top dog props, it was seriously powerful and that is why it has remained in that battle rating till now, of course it does not perform at 6.3 with the other aircraft like the spitfire mk22 or the P51 H . The only capable way of playing this aircraft is with defensive flying and altitude advantage... which is a pain in the ass..

Remember like in 2014 when the n1k was ridiculously overpowered? Good days

Half of what makes Japanese planes formidable is the psychological effect even though later Japanese planes are practically food.

Such a shame, I used to play Combat Flight Sim 2 Pacific when I was a lot younger and fell in love with it there. Was looking forward to it.
Edit: post viewing, I think I will still like it. Looks like it still has the Japanese nimbly bimbly playstyle but with much tougher enemies.

The only reason why this thing is still sitting at 6.0 is because of its x4 cannons and 900 rounds. Otherwise every single prop shits on it.
