give me anything that climbs better than a zero or is faster than it and doesnt fly like an oil tanker and i will kick the ass of zeros every day of the week
only newbies do that, an actual A6M player peels off and since it is to avoid tunnel visioned, being dragged away from their team and know the futility of using your dumb “strategy” you made up.
the video is broken
great, then you know how different the zero works when it’s alone, or rather, when it doesn’t work.
yeah sure sure.
Maybe because of how WT forum works, I put . before link this time
Yeah, something wrong with forum
No, I dont, japan teams stomp everything and I really never had a chance of fighting 1vs whole team on it
But still it would work with some sideclimbing and energy fighting of course, those magic tricks help everything
I hate teams that win without me the most again, for that reason I’m not enjoying flying Japan that much. You can literally not takeoff and still get 70% winrate for Japan (and you would get 40 for US at the same BR)
Yeah, kill them, kill all of the AFK Zero pilots that will die to your shallow climb! Yeah!
because japan can easily third party, once a enemy stops runnin, the zero specially can vulture on it before their ally kills it’s foe.
A6Ms tend to be on the lower Winrates compared to their friends of the Naval aviation line, army aviation line and interceptor line.
Because they are the most popular planes for Japan
let’s look at the chinese A6M. let’s exclude the american one since well, america players.
it has a lower winrate than usual, even lower than TT variants.
i mean they turn with everything so maybe they will just do fine with zeros
it’s the zero with the worst stadistics.
I think the issue now is ammo pool

altitude is everything in prop matches who ever has more teamates higher wins which is why british spit MK9 is so OP only counter to it is YAK 3U but that only wins a fight up high

Shallow climb whilst maintaining speed and creating separation, when you have enough separation go into a big loop getting as much altitude as possible and then enter a shallow dive aiming to build around 250-300mph before the zero gets within firing range.
Once the zero starts getting close (and has already bled a ton of energy getting into position) go vertical once more and kill the stalling zero. If you miss just extend away once again rinse and repeat.
This works every time. It’s effective in the P-51D-5 and especially aircraft like the Sea Fury.

Played a match or two the other day with the A6M3.
In one instance I pulled 13 Gs to get on a P-51s 6 and peppered him with 20mm rounds.
I mean it’s just really laughable that your pilot can pull so much without instantly blacking out.
Pilots are basically robots that can sustain way more Gs than humanly possible, never bleed out and take .50cal or sometimes 20mm hits without trouble while planes are practically made out of paper and fall apart just spraying rounds in their general direction.
Your armored glass takes a 20mm HE round and nothing happeneds but your wing and tail instantly fall off, if hit. It’s the same with optics on tanks which are just decoration but don’t actually have a function since your crew doesn’t need them.
Basically Arcade mechanics but in Realistic and Sim mode.

Crew skills are one of the worst mechanics that really mess up how planes should be used. I have no idea why some people defend them too.
A level 0 crew with no expert or ace behaves somewhat realistically (being able to still pull and trim is stupid). But a full ace 5/5? Ridiculous.
I am pretty sure crew skills are also why fw 190s and lots of us planes feel weaker than they were in real life beyond just brs - these nations found solutions to g forces (G suit, reclined seat, control linkages) that allowed high speed maneuvering where opposition couldnt follow comfortably.

ive pulled up to 15G and didnt black out instantly its just a weird feature of this game its basically a arcade game its not a sim
