Is the j2m2 ass or am I just trash?

What makes the J2M2 variant especially fustrating is the arnament consisting of just two wimpy 20 mm model 1’s with 100 rounds each backed up by two 7.7 mm machine gun. This is a 5.0 plane and it has the exact same pathetic arnament as the A6M2-N and N1K1

They’re Type 99 Model 2s.

However the J2M3 is still the exact same plane as the J2M2. Exact same performance with somewhat decent guns force it 0.7 higher. Then there’s the J2M5, it has a slightly weaker engine for a turbocharger to improve its performance at an altitude nobody fights at.

J2M3 is ever so slightly heavier than J2M2; J2M5’s engine is not turbocharged, it’s just biased for higher altitudes and makes roughly the same power. Still runs out of breath over 6km.

yknow, its funny because after flying the j2m2 a bit, i actually dont mind it that much now. Yeah its a fat pig and annoying, but dogfights in it feel exciting and adrenaline packed and im a sucker for that

It’s absolutely better than the 5.7 ones because its flying performace is much greater compared to its opponents but the guns just ruin it in my opinion. The Fw 190A-5 is another plane that has a really fustrating playstyle but atleast it comes with great firepower.
