Most people I’ve seen use it aren’t Japan mains and often turn fight in it. You don’t do that with a J2M. Army Ki-109 → bomber hunter, but can do tank roles, though not designed for.
Ki-44 subjective: 7.7s and 12.7s can be iffy. Just hard to hit cause small and skinny. Ki-44-II 4 12.7s aiming takes patience. Too many piglets like spray and pray but cannot lead their shot. They will learn or quit in due time. Albeit Japanese machine guns are well iffy due to the nerfs and other side effects. Which I don’t agree with…
Ah yes cause apparently not being level 100=not good at the game. I guess playing this game for nearly a decade doesn’t mean anything. Especially if you spent that near decade strictly on Japan. Enjoy your time. Which is what I did lol.
Oh, and keep your opinion to the Soviets. That’s all you play.
who cares, I wasn’t even level 100 when I got 4kd on the J5N1 in 100 matches. Playing Japan implies much more skill than most nations in the game. I’ve managed to literally energy fight in zeroes because of people not wanting to climb at all anymore, this will only push japanese props further up in BR. The Ki83 became 6.0 because it would KD like crazy killing bombers from 3km away. Now allow me to specify, the ki83’s climb rate is negligible when the rest of 6.0’s literally climb almost as good as it to the point that when all the team has airspawn at the same altitude they end up right half a km below you on gun range. Imagine this is an enemy team. Sure the ki83 can outrate a f8f but why does that even matter, the f8f has so many more options like running away or forcing a downward spiral or simply tanking 30mm’s because ho-155’s are absolute dogass guns.
You don’t even play the Ki83, and can’t push over 1kd on these “op japanese planes” you talk about. You’re literally likely part of the problem, same as those who scream “this plane is OP” then go play it and do negative in it or overall much worse than other planes of the same BR.
