That’s pretty cool! A lot of planes in WT have special flap designs which just aren’t modeled in game unfortunately

That's very cool, but I honestly think that an auto-flap system could be somewhat of a pain occasionally.

You're thinking of the Kawanishi N1K series of fighers. The Kawanisbi J6K never left the mockup stage, though I won't doubt that it probably also would have been fitted with a mercury switch.

Brilliant idea when you don’t have transistor logic for fly by wire, scooping in data and crunching differentials for aircraft configuration.

​@@martijn9568I think kawanishi was involved in it maybe

That was weird. KZfaq unsubbed me from you. Been watching for over a year now, and I just saw I wasn't subbed anymore. Weird

@@skoshi_tempest KZfaq moment

Wasn't it up tiered to 6.7 after this vid?

Kids 84's XDDDD

Because the N1Ks are bad yes Super slow, while being bad at high speed as well

@@TheLazyKat N1Ks aren't that bad lol

I remember long time ago when N1Ks were menace and dominating

I love the N1K2 J and Ja (even tho Ja isnt modeled properly and is missing horsepower). Awesome planes

I fucking lost it when I saw he was going to try and snag that sweet juicy kill steal in a head on

yes, XP55 is the same

Best to save the MGs since they don't add too much power otherthan being centreline and helping when the 20s don't converge

It's a very dangerous plane with a ton of guns that have excellent ballistics. Yeah if I dodge the guns I can mostly slap him in Ta-152H. But I havr to dodge the guns first.

@@bezimienny_andzej6425 type 99 are slow but have insane reach and the j6k1 has great instantaneous turn, the only plane I've reliably countered the j6k1 is with the Spitfire Mk14, mostly because it has even better instantaneous turn to dodge and even force a reversal.

@@kingghidorah8106 Slow? You mean ROF? Reach is insane, I routinely hit people from 800-900m away. With MG151/20 550m shots are already rare enough. Ehhhh. Type 99 should be ballistically superior, but not THAT superior.

@@bezimienny_andzej6425 yes the velocity of type 99 sits around 700m/s very close to ShVAK, while MG151 is around 660 with much more drag for the Minengeschoss (since their tip is literally a sphere and not a cone), rate of fire is very low, making quick dogfights quite a burden since a lot of times the enemy will fly through your shots.

@@kingghidorah8106 In all honesty, it's not about muzzle velocity, but about masa and ballistics. For your information M-geschoss should be pretty similar to Shvak or Ho-5 HE All of them are far from good from ballistic point of view. Type 99 is much better so it holds those 740m/s better. But the thing is, it overperforms anyway, every cannon without real life ballistic data overperforms actually.

that was such a dumb move from the ki84 i couldn't believe it. was a bit surprised that defyn didn't say something snarky about it too lol

it can get really insane, ive seen whole teams diving on one attacker (after climbing ofc)

the fucking what

@@gunner324 the original devblog said it would get 6 30mm guns and 2 20mms, they corrected it later lol (assuming I remember right)

​@GeneralLee2000 SIX 30mm chaingun????? It has same barrel amount Gsh-6-30 that used in mig27 It doesn't break the entire aircraft because of recoil and overheating?

​@No-Grass he said 6x30mm as in six SEPARATE guns, not one gun with 6 barrels

Catch what?

indeed it is, and people keep saying it's bad. Thing is like a worse yak with six of the best 20mm for props in game

Still waiting for the F4U-5 (surely gaijin will add it before 2030)

@@Xiphactinus I found a SAC about F4U-5 so that makes me happy for the next 10 years B)

Oh, and i've almost forgot to point out that the J6K1 is an insanely good grinder, both for SL and RP. When i didn't have a premium account yet, i used it to grind SL, as i would go broke all the time and without playing J6K1 i wouldn't be able to buy new vehicles. As i've already said, i've grinded most of the Japanese tree with it, IN LESS THEN 200 MATCHES, WITHOUT A PREMIUM ACCOUNT. I just find it insane. Soviet air tree took me about 400 hours to grind out, Japanese tree just about 100, maybe even less, and all that thanks to J6K1.

I am by no means as good as Defyn but I have 200 battles in the Yak-15p. You’re pretty much accurate with that, if the P-51h starts above the Yak-15p there is almost nothing the yak can do except try to fly in a straight line away, because the yak rips so early it can’t dive away effectively from almost anything(it rips at 750 kmh ias.) however if the yak starts above the p51 and the p51 doesn’t have any altitude to dive with, the p51 is likely going to have a bad time.

Bit of Google. There's a chart/table out there somewhere on the Internet or buried in the gaijin forums. Tbh tho most of them are roughly in the same ballpark and you aren't losing much if you're only a little off. I tend to climb at ~135kts indicated. Optimal climb speed for most props is within 10 or so of that which is close enough for me. Saves me from having to Google before every match or memorise the optimal climb speed of like 20 different planes

He doesnt need to, the Israeli version and the American version are the same, the only difference is the match it faces.

Only if the Yak-3U is also OP. Just force the fight up high with the LF Mk IX, where it doesn't make use of the 150 octane fuel.

@@lonemarkkingoftypos3722actually American version has 4 7.92 mm guns rather than the 12.7 mm guns on the british tech tree

Cant hear it anymore that LF MkIX Spits are OP fly the Thing and then we talk again, its slow, has a lower Wingripspeed and not much ammo

@@Rocketracoon809 "Plagis" Prem Spit has the 4x 7.7mm too, i personaly like the 7.7mm Version more then the one with 2x 0.50cals

Israelian lmao
