Well, japan has the H6k4 which at tier 1, is a beast for loving up a fighters day. Also it can unlock 2 800lb bombs that insta-kill enemy bases so...
Yeah, also the speed. The loving speed of that bomber... Nothing, not even a PBY-Catalina can stand up to this thing. Its not even worth the spot of tier 1 its more like tier 2. Also japan is extremely good. I don't see why people hate/complain that Gaijin isn't giving them a boost. I've out maneuvered spits and LaGGs. Now that's something. 

     Then you're not fighting competent opponents. Japan lost it's air superiority in the pacific for multiple reason, but the largest one being US pilots getting smart. As soon as your enemy realises, "Oh I should just NOT turn and fly away." You're done for. None of the A6M's can keep up with anything at their tier (let alone fight any of their historical counterparts) and a good boom'n'zoom pilot can fly circles around a single Japanese pilot. A6M's are the most fragile, overtiered, overpriced aircraft in the game and it gets worse with every update. Luckily the War Thunder playerbase is horrible in arcade and the A6M's turning will outfly anyone in arcade furrballs.

     That being said, I fly Japan almost exclusively and the Japanese bombers are nothing to laugh at. Most of the bombers are small, fast, and agile with horrible bomb loads and excellent defenses. The H6K has the best defense and bomb load for it's tier and I cannot wait for the H8K.
     

I think the reason Japanese planes are so fragile is because they all have placeholder damage models.

Especially anything past rank 2.

I'd comment on how I kick ass in my Japanese planes but you're probably all talking about RB

Damage models transcend over all gamemodes iirc.
And the ki-102 can still be blown up by a single 7.62 round.

:(


you guys know that japanese planes were literally paper irl right

Wait, when is that coming? The H8k?

It's on the Japanese release tree. It's Japanese so we probably won't be seeing it for a while. The last two Japanese aircraft tested (ki-42-I, ki-27) aren't in yet but we should see them in the next update.

Generally in early navy aircraft, yes, however almost all Japanese aircraft in the game can be taken down with MG fire including the ki-102 and G8N.

The ki-102 should be one of the most armoured aircraft in the entire game yet it can be taken down as fast as an A6M2.


I was wondering when an War Thunder thread would come up on this forum. Add me to the IGN list: captain_zee

Been in just the tanks recently, mostly because I just moved for the summer and my new comp desk isn't really suitable for a joystick right now.

Just got this game, it's fun. :)

Played this game again after a few weeks. Forgot how much this pisses me off. I can't do a goddamn thing without getting shot down

it worth learning a few manuevers and to learn the strengths of the planes your flying along with the weaknesses of your enemy's planes
for example, the aerocobras have abysmal climb rate, you if you're getting forgeted by them, altitude is your friend

altitude is not your friend if your climb performance is terrible. it's much better to go low with a wing man than waste all your energy getting super high just to get shot down by someone higher than you.

I don't even play the objective, I just fly as high as I can and zoom down to the ground to go super fast.
