I tried that in the H8K2 against a bv, battle of the sky ships. Turns out, the type 99 20mm on the thing can barely reach out to 1.2km ahead of me as the rounds just fell out the sky before hitting. Never had this problem before on my fighters so im assuming its to do with the gunner dispersion and so on. I really think they should just let you range your own guns manually because at the moment bombers are just sitting ducks to the horrible disperssion.
No surprise, the Type 99 on H8K2 are the Type 99-1 which have shorter range, lower fire rate and lower speed. Maximum range of that thing is just 600m, anything farer you can’t just do a thing. While the Type 99 on G8N1, late Zero, A7M, N1K are the Type 99-2, and the G8N1 using the Type 99-2 mod 5 which not only having the damage of the Type 99 but also got the fire rate of Mg151, so is normal they feel deference.
Just shocking that its sat at 3.7 and the premium at 4.0 when the bv is obviously better.

This is a p2w game so what do you expect😅
Well the BV238 is also slower and easier to hit
Found the video with same A6M5 Hei equipped with 500kg bomb

Small thing I noticed and I wonder if correct. The lower side of the type 16 only has 10mm of armor Total while the type 24/24 being built on the same chassis has 20mm of composite screen over the 10mm. This honestly doesn’t make sense as a design choice and Wonder if anyone knows anything about it.

Unrelated but it’s funny seeing people shoot the rear half of the Type 24 and the dart just goes straight through

It’s not even a special attack aircraft but Gaijin thinks it is. But she retains her 2mgs
O well
At least you will be moving at 3 times normal speed.
Kamikaze planes would be very interesting class in game

It is actually special attack variant
It’s not allowed even crashing a plane causes no damage. Gaijin would have to increase its age rating though there where AI on some pacific maps that would do that.
We just need contact detonation mechanic from bombs adapted to planes with explosive charges
Its not about mechanics its about Age Rating You can have a one way attack missile in game but you cant have one with a man. Crashing is okay the point of crashing is not also it would be annoying as a counter play situation as people already hate that P-47 player revenge bombing you in ground battles by flying into you.
Wow cool would be nice for GRB

It actually is and most interesting - any A6M5 Hei could take it, it is not needed to remove weapon for it as was made on this plane
Is there a reason why have we never received GCS-1? @Smin1080p_WT
Im not even asking for ground attack capability but simply as an option to use against AI naval targets and maybe future naval battles and future nuclear thunder naval assets if they go that route. We have anti ship missiles which have already limited use and do a poor job on ai units. These would be more effective in my opinion we even have full 3d models in cdk is there a reason the devs havent added them?
