I’m glad I made you feel better. But you still haven’t explained how to fix it? Raising aircraft Br is not a solution to the problem of poorly programmed weapons.
Told you several times - make it compress more (like A7M2 does, while A7M2 should compress less) fix the guns to more realistic performance (same applies to other 20mm but to a lesser extent), lower the BR to something like 4.3 (depends)
Right now A6M5 is same BR as goddamn Fw 190 D9 and P-47-D30, which are over 100km/h faster at any given altitude, and 1 BR higher than 1944 Yak-3, and 0.7 BR higher than 1944 F4U4 and P-51 D10 (which has D30 performance 0.7 BR lower).

It’s okay to admit my mistake. You actually speak well. Sorry.

I am generally all for making the 20mm more realistic.
This does not mean I’d make Type 99 Mk2 weak. It fires a real chonker of a shell with a big explosive filler. It should be devastating as hell. Just not “1 shell and your plane can’t fly” kind of devastating. More like current MG151/20 devastating :)
I would also LOVE to see a proper tutorial on types of air combat, so players understand that staying fast as opposed to “turning after the enemy” is a viable way to play. This way A6M5 could end up at a reasonable spot, more akin to Spitfire Mk V.
I mean, lets face it, Gaijin won’t do anything. We can just talk about “how to make the game better”. F.e. I am all for moving Yak-3 and XP-55 up, but I know it won’t happen because Soviet and US teams around 4.0-4.7 are godawful.

This is what true patriotism looks like!
Unfortunately, this is the truth. I’m sorry again. Now I’m back to being a crap pilot.

I’m also pretty damn bad, just experienced, lol. Each time I hit a difficult shot I have no idea why the hell it even landed :P
What works in my favor is that avg prop user has less working braincells than an orange cat.
Your statistics are great, in my opinion you are a pretty good pilot. I’d rather not meet you in an enemy fighter
This is not patriotism, it is insisting on certain stupidity and making an idiot of yourself. I did the same as the Japanese did during the war, I did not accept the facts and defended myself idiotically. Patriotism is the ability to come to terms with the opposing party and the ability to apologize. I apologized, so I can continue to be a terrible fighter pilot and write suggestions about Japan.
I was just joking man :)

I get it, its all good
They can onetap wings just as easily as the Type 99.
By fixes you mean nerfs, yes?
I am a proud Wyvern owner and trust me, I need way more shells on target for the desired effect with Wyvern. The fact good portion is useless SAPI also plays a part, but I have 4 guns that fire way faster. British HEI is clearly inferior. Hispanos are good. But Type 99 Mk 2 hits harder.
I would nerf every single 20mm in game so their damage is more consistent and realistic.
Right now MG151/20 is the most realistic, though still busted. Shot F2G in wingtip - wingtip stays attached. Shot its tail fuselage - it stays attached. M-geschoss hits cowling?
Engine stays OK.
Hit cowling with Shvak from 1500m away parallel to the fuselage - engine gets heavily damaged by fragments. That’s ridiculous. What’s the point of AP, if HE takes out a radial engine via impact good distance away from it by a shell not even going towards the engine?

Only if players come at you one by one and give you plenty of time to get your energy back, because it has horrid MER and rates worse than a J2M or Ki-84.
Slower than a Zero with comparable engine power + have worse MER, as a tradeoff for much better roll and slightly better instantaneous turn.
N1K1-J is pretty decent since its 5.3, the N1K2-Js are severely overweight according to every primary source I can find and are struggle buses that really belong at 5.3/5.7.
Above 2km its p/w is mediocre, despite having better wingloading and flaps than a spitfire it’ll get outturned, and at high alt it is a brick.
I’ve been hit with single shots from hispanos and they’ve had zero issues taking out my entire plane, not just a wing.
We had that, it was called early realshitter, and nobody else liked it. People made mistakes, flew in front of your guns, got hit, nothing happened. Even now, the randomized fragment dispersion makes damage inconsistent.
Early realshitter was broken as HE dealt less damage than AP to wings, and was generally useless.
Back then I was using Fw 190 F8 and going head-on vs everything and winning without taking any significant damage 9/10 or more.
Then Gaijin overcompensated.
But honestly, 20mm were NEVER done correctly, as Gaijin seems incapable to create realistic damage mechanics.
I am hitting a lot of planes with Hispanos. I’ve killed thousands of planes with Wyvern. And I am absolutely certain Type 99 Mk 2 works better, Hispano can remove entire wing with 1 shell, but does so way less often. It’s still completely busted, mind you. Also Type 99 Mk2 can 2-tap a bomber.
Hispanos are not so great vs bombers.
You mean 1650 HP + 2475kg empty mass is bad power to weight?
Yak-3 is what, 1200 HP at 2263kg empty
Bf 109 G6 is around 1800 at 2730.
What plane has better power to weight at 5.0?

The Zero’s dive performance isn’t inaccurate. Comparative test of dive between F6F and A6M5 gave a few hundred meters of separation. It didn’t “escape” like it would need in war thunder.
They don’t compress as much as you’d expect, compared to Russian fighters.
In real life, the Zero becomes significantly less stable at high dive speed, and constantly wants to pitch up. War Thunder fully negates this at least in RB but it does cut into it’s top end dive acceleration.
Roll rate isn’t fully accurate but WT in general has a lot of “toy” flight models.
To begin with, in real life you lose a lot more roll when you turn. War Thunder doesn’t have that, so we do a lot of impossible maneuvers.
