As I said, not for the Ho-155 any more because they are all AP-T rounds with zero HEF, because they got nerfed
Ho-155s no longer have a HEF-T round, and no longer have a tracer belt of full HE.

As a J6K1 player(because apparently if you don’t have the vehicle the opinion is instantly invaild), it’s not a 6.7 performance.
It turns very well, and has very good armaments but simply too slow and even climbrate is not that good. It’s basically a heavier N1K2 with more guns but at 6.7.
Problem is I hardly see a J6K1 in the match cause it’s old event plane, and when I see it most of the time it’s played by the old players. I think THAT makes a J6K1 6.7.

my favorite aircraft since i received it. it’s like a tempest with far more firepower and a bloody sl printer. any event can easily be completed with it. don’t worry about your enemies. just because they fly jets doesn’t mean that they know how to jet.
I guess you havent fly any japanese planes with 30mm since like before christmas. As for like a half a year half of the 30 mm tracers were nerfed and other half was was just removed. All japanese 30 mm were made slow and inaccurate. If you try to replace it with full stealth HE belt that all planes kept it has some bugged fuse and 90% of time just does not connect and you get “hit” at best. But everyone would think the planes that are so high up with the br just because their guns “used to be good” would have their br lowered like with german Me 163 with inaccurate slow 30 mm at 8.0 (which at least still oneshot like japanese used to) and Me 163 with accurate 20mm at 8.7. But no all japanese planes with high br and now useless guns were kept at their br.
True a lot of early jet players dont know what they doing, but when they know… Then you just cant do anything to them.
when they know i focus them. nothing they can do after diving on that attacker and losing all their energy
Don’t forget the Jap 20mm. I think the J6K uses the Type 99s and they used to be among the best cannons in the game a while ago but now they are worse than MG151s.
Pretty sure Japanese 20 mm works fine. 30 mm are doing less damage than 20mm rn fr.
Nah they’re not. Played the B7 yesterday and had to use like 100 rounds for each kill. They aren’t as accurate as they used to be and they don’t deal damage anymore.

When I was spading the J2M3 it felt like the cannons were much weaker than before.
But in protection analysis it seemed to be the same.
So maybe I was just imagining things 😵
Hmm I use them daily and I dont find them lacking power. I was playing A6M today and literally just clicked once with the 20mm close up and both wings fell off.
Only 30mm seem to be shit.

Protection analysis for aircraft is weird and most of the time useless.
They’re still stronger than 7.7s or .50cals but when compared to other 20s they are very weak. I used to love the Type 99 when playing the Zero or J2M but the ballistics feel very different and the damage got nerfed hard during and after realshatter.
They feel weak when compared to other 30s but they still do enough damage to cripple aircraft in a single shot/burst unlike the 20s.
What belt are you using? I’ve not had any issues with Type 99s.
Tracers
Try Universal, been working good for me.

Will try them next time I play some Jap planes. In the past universal was just straight up worse than tracers thanks to having only 3/4 HE to deal damage while tracers had less filler but had 4/4 HE rounds. The difference between HEF and HET might be bigger now that could be a reason for the ridiculously low damage.
That’s my problem with the Tracers belt, the HEF-T used to be great but now feels very lackluster. That being said the Universal belt isn’t fantastic either as due to the low gun RoF you’ll sometimes get unlucky and only hit with API.
that p51h is at its current br is solely due to the fact that 95% of USA air players are so stupid that they cannot even win the match in an X wing.
