Ki83 needs to go down already. It’s become a 6.0 aircraft because it had enough climb rate and weaponry to counter the allied bomber spam. Years after (for years as well) there’s been no longer bomber spawn in exchange for superprop spam. Super props, that regardless of having 10m/s less of climb rate at 300IAS, are still going to be much MUCH faster than the KI83 and have enough weaponry to click it out of the air from underneath, or catch up, or outroll. Now it’s all bomber spam again except the bombers are practically unkillable unless you aim at the cockpit and because it went from 8v8 to 16v16 you also have superprop spam. And ho-5 20mm as well as ho-155 30mm are respectively the worst prop guns in game of each respective caliber category. So it no longer has the performance and armament advantage.
is coping about planes all you do here?
aint what the forums are for?
and am I wrong about the ki83? The yak3u (a dedicated low altitude fighter) absolutely folds it at 6500 meters of altitude. Two shvak also deal more damage than four 30mm HO-155.
id like you to tell me what plane does not get folded by the yak3u that isnt a spit
no, the real thing is that even a tu2 folds the ki83.
i’ve never lost a dogfight against a ki83. The plane is bad, period. Also all it can do in an air RB match is literally just a single energy trap, miss the shot and be unable to recover back cause you will lose the little nose authority you had, plus compression, plus high drag, plus low damage tolerance. Neither the guns, nor the performance outside static thrust, nor the damage are remarkable enough to make it’s climb rate actually worthy. It’s so fundamentally bad at the rest that it’s 30 meter per second rate is negligible. You don’t need more than a synapse to defeat the ki83, either don’t go up if you’re further than 1km from it, or go up cause you’ll catch up if you happen to dogfight below 1km of distance between each other.
maybe if you play turn only without flaps
I do use them, doesn’t impact the outcome, the nose authority will mess you up.
