We all know J7W1 is a terrible overtierd plane, but Gaijin at least give it an interceptor spawn since it is literally designed to be interceptor. In the state that it currently is, it is near impossible to actually catch bombers before they bomb base because it starts from the airfield. And dogfigthing is out of question since you get outturned by even twin engines and maybe even by the bombers itself.

It should also be moved down in BR too.

one thing at a time, you know Gaijin as i do,… they won’t give both.
also, i would prefer a friendlier Flight model upgrade,… the controls are currently so stiffs that it feels heavier than a B-29 fully loaded,… (and yes: “Feels”).
It had one in the past, was removed because in 2017 players were tryharder at the game and used its airspawn to its full potential making the J7W1 Op.

In 2017, the aircraft was also mich more potent flight wise.
Not that much has changed, only players did, and new ones dont play the shinden
,… in 2019 or 2020 they made a Flight model change that nerfed it’s Nose authority and pulling abilities by 30-45%,…
Before that you could dogfight a single engine fighter, now even fighting a Beaufighter Mk6 is hard to do,…

Cannons have been thrown into the floor a few times over the past while as well. Flight performance is genuninely awful at 6.0 and has literally nothing going for it. It’s a bus. I feel like it should go down to 5.3 or 5.0 but does not need an airspawn at that point. Or maybe it does, the climbrate isnt even special.

Overpowered? It has very limited ammo and speed, is stiff as hell and usually you have to hit the target multiple times to kill it. Airspawn would only make it usable in it’s intended role, still it would be hella vulnerable to fighters and even the bomber gunners themselves.
Read the message better instead of attacking.
I read it. My opinion didn’t change. I don’t get why it was overpowered with airspawn, it’s only good aspect used to be the guns (and airspawn) and both of the good aspects don’t exist anymore. It is more potent in boom and zooming stupid fighter players who don’t climb than in hunting bombers. Plus you have to explain the idea of me attacking you more deeply I’m not sure I understand :D.
You see, players were better, that’s why It was removed, but now that noone plays it, gaijin forgets to change It. im not saying its overpowered, but that in good hands its a bit strong and in the past the only ones that were using It knew its potential and used the airspawn to its fullness, making the plane a pain in the ass tò go against.
I would also like to add to the discussion that Japanese 30mm HEF shells do not fuze on soft materials. They just pass though like APs. Check the protection analysis.
Looks like a bug to me, since the stat card for the HEF shell states 0.8mm for fuze sensitivity (unless I don’t understand what that actually means).
Damn, Gaijin really nerfed a plane because it was played by good players and the others had severe skill issue, average snail activities I guess.
That’s why we need a balance team instead of relying on and algorythm
