N1K2-J and JA should NOT BE 6.0, they should be 5.3 maximum

I’m aware of the instructor limitations, I do almost all of my turning using keyboard keys on all planes for better and more accurate control.
When you remove the pilots from the planes, the planes that go faster will always be stronger. But planes need pilots in them, and even if there is no difference in skill level between the two, the slower more agile plane still has options against the faster plane. Pilots have a mental state, and once you tap into that, you will see those options.

There is no necro or bait posting here. Most of the discussion in this thread is still relevant. I understand if this thread were 5 years old or something, but the FMs just did not change since April.

Actually they have - the N1K2s’ weight has increased. Because of course this plane was very OP and needed a nerf.

So gaijin nerfed it three or more years ago but kept the br’s because everyone was pulling 4+ kd in it, got it. I’m glad of being part of the issue.
