Planned Battle Rating changes for August 2025 (updated 16:00, 15.08)

Vehicle: N1K1-Ja
Game mode: RB, SB
BR Change: 5.3 → 4.7

The (almost) slowest fighter at its BR. It turns quite OK, but Spitfires, Yaks do it better. On SB F4U4-B (BR 5.7) just wipes a floor with this plane. It has 4 cannons (2+2 gunpods) with only 100 bullets for each. In my opinion Bf 109 F-4 or G-2 are better planes than N1K1-Ja (much faster, comparable maneuverability, comparable firepower with gunpods), but they are placed whole 1.0 BR lower.

N1K1-Ja would be very interesting plane if we could demount gunpods. With additional ~ 20 km/h top speed and even better maneuverability it could stay at 5.3. Now it is just another aircraft which nobody plays and you very, very rarely see it in battles.

By making an accurate statement? The gun is the same as found on on a 3.3 vehicle(where it’s still mediocre) - just to make it clear for you, that’s a vehicle capable of facing 2.3’s. Reserve starts at 1.0. 1.3 BR is not a massive leap. Jumbo has 76mm of upper side armour, 30mm of lower side armour. Pennable by literally everything from the side except an L3. Jumbo gameplay is all about being invincible from the front and massively vulnerable from the sides.

It is obviously an exaggeration but the Jumbo at reserve would perform nowhere near as excellently as any other 5.7 vehicle.

You can take out most tanks frontally by shooting their cupola or mg port or you can just flank

100mm of point blank pen isn’t enough for this at 5.7

2S38 10.3 → 11.7

Mode: Ground Realistic

I shouldn’t need a explain this . . . the 2S38 is far too powerful against 9.3-10.3 vehicles, and compares far better to 11.7 vehicles, such as the HSTV-L

I see. Just feels like i’ve been killed by an XM246 one too many times in the Object 279. In general though, most (if not all) 35mm Oerlikon KDA anti aircraft guns should get some kind of nerf because of how they’re able to melt through tanks and rack up 1200SP in less than five minutes (looking at you ItPsV 90/ZA-35)

I guess i’ve thought of the Leopard 1 hull as squishy and the M48/M60 hull as pretty durable then for too long.

If you think that even at 3.3 the gun is mediocre, then “mein Beileid”, to your skill.

lol. Can’t say I’ve ever been killed by XM246 while using 279, myself.

Mediocre. Average. Whatever. It’s not good. 3.3 is still within that BR range where it’s basically point and click for everyone except a select few.

it definetly is

If you cant one tap with the short 75mm at 3.3 am sorry to say but thats just pure skill issue. Even at 3.7 the 75mm can ufp most tanks and will oneshot everything

From the locked topic you created, i just found out that its your “first impression”, meaning you just onlocked it or so. Which makes your “opinion” even worse. Absolute skill issue.

You cant notch top down missiles while on the deck as it would require me to pull down due to the angle. Have you ever played top tier mate?


God at 5.3 the 75mm is terrible

/sarcasm

I mean pretty sure you can but even if you cant multipathing generally works against fakours and even if you jsut dont want to deal with that you can abuse terrain to break the lock

you can notch by turning to the left or right

so that you get the missile pings from either your 3 or 6 o’clock

Mode: All modes
M4/T26:
6.0 → 6.3
trolly pershing turret makes this hull down best medium of its tier. farms everything in a downtier and still does well in a uptier thanks to the 90mm
T26E5:
6.7 → 7.0
best heavy for its tier in the game. laughable to think this is equivalent to a is2/tiger ii p lmao

At 3.7 most tanks can UFP most tanks.
