Guide to Japanese Bombers 💢 | War Thunder

[@Eonymia]

The G5N1 used to not be able to rotate the rear turret, because they didn't model that funny rotating mechanism. So what ended up happening was that you had great vertical guidance, but only a couple of degrees of horizontal guidance on the rear 20mm. Thankfully that is fixed now.

[@SP-sy5nq]

At first you had my curiosity, but now seeing the H8K covered in guns you have my attention.

[@8BitDane]

it has a lot of Dakka Dakka for br 3.3

[@hyneksmid3293]

Yeah its beast :D

[@user-PyR064]

If you land a hydroplane and wait for the repairs/refuel/rearm, you spawn back in flight above the airfield but if you then land again without damage you can J out and it will not count as a plane lost, so you could switch load-outs and respawn back above that airfield.

[@tessl8984]

Elaborate please Do you mean,sealand,spawn,sealand again and change loadout ?

[@user-PyR064]

@@tessl8984 no on regular airstrips

[@timothygoodwin3287]

love the Japanese bombers for ground and naval especially the H6K and H8K they are some of the most beautiful looking plane models in game. Hoping the Ki-48 and G3M eventually make their way into the game

[@8BitDane]

I also think the H6K is great looking 🙂

[@rudolphantler6309]

I love how the land based heavy bombers look in Japan and I appreciate their speed. Also some defensive armaments are impressive. Sadly I'm not sure I'd want to mess around with so low bombloads. As far as hydro bombers go, I'd rather start seeing German and especially Italian examples in the game!

[@8BitDane]

I am fond of the Japanese bombers, squishy yes, but with nice defensive armaments with 20 mm cannons quite early as well. Bombload is quite light though for sure, but I usually go for the few larger bombloads they can carry. I would also like to see more Dorniers in the German tree and Italian ones as well for sure.

[@FruitSlotMarket]

The Ki-67-I, especially the Otsu, is in my opinion, the best bomber in the game, even with the poor bombload. As you said, it is extremely fast but currently with the high explosive rounds for the 12.7s, makes this very well defended. I have used it in the fighter role and my stats currently are at 85 deaths to 496 kills. It is truly unstoppable if your aim is good.

[@mikeshinoda6108]

Its incredible, but today i won to my team whole game, twice today i had 5 kills, 1 destroyed base without death, my tactic is fly 640-650 km/h to base, allways 1 plane chase you, your speed is 500 km/h so speed is big weapon, usually first enemy i kill is without scratch on my plane, because he think im weak, if you want, i can send you my 2 best games for today, but i dont know how :D trust me, 5 kills in one game, but twice today

[@generichuman8224]

thank you for putting in the work for this, much appreciated

[@8BitDane]

Thanks, that was nice of you to say, it was a bunch of hours spend, but I enjoyed it and learned something in the process

[@Sch1z0s]

The Ki-49IIb vs the Late model has no performance differences but the exhaust is actually modeled on the engines… what’s funny is that the Late used to be a much higher BR than the regular in air arcade. Very strange but clearly gaijin is being lazy here

[@8BitDane]

This guide will cover all aircraft in the Japanese bomber tech tree. The video is the first in a series of videos that will cover all nations (except China) bomber tech trees. After all the prop bombers have been covered, I intend to make a guide video on all jet bombers in War Thunder. Show your love with a channel subscription or like ! Bless your little black hearts.

One key note for the h6k and h8k are their ability to carry two torpedoes allowing it to one shot some sizeable ships in Naval battles.

Didnt think I’d watch the whole vid but it’s so well put together I stayed and learned a lot great job. Earned a new sub bubs

Finally got my ki 67 1 otsu, I love it.

[@pern5349]

Excellent video! Very informative and useful for bomber pilots

[@corbybunch]

This is my favorite line in the game and I think you did a great job! Hope to see more like this soon!

[@8BitDane]

Hi Corby, thanks ! - I definitely think the Japanese bombers are underrepresented in players minds, I am a fan as well.

[@corbybunch]

@@8BitDane I am basically a dedicated bomber pilot and I just wish they had better bomb loads then they would be god tier in my eyes lol

[@8BitDane]

@@corbybunch ah nice, I have always liked playing bomber as well, you just need to get into the mindset. You definitely sacrifice bombload for being fast and nimble with the Japanese bombers. The Ki-21 and Ki-67 have a special place in my bomber heart for sure.

[@csh5414]

Love your videos 8 bit. Arguably the best bomber information in WT, Monotone voice or not.

[@8BitDane]

Appreciate it - voice is always WIP, but it is not going to change a great deal. Always a struggle.

@@8BitDane I wouldn’t worry about it, your content is good enough tbh.

Try just unlock the Ki-21 for starters, see what you think.

[@whooshwhoosh7368]

I love playing the H8K2 it performs so smoothly

[@Man3171-z4y]

Do you know how to get the ( ki-21-I Hei ) I see a bunch of people flying the plane but I don’t know how to get it?? 😅

[@8BitDane]

Hi Sam, that bomber, which is great btw, is an even vehicle and can only be found now in the Marketplace. At the moment it costs about 22 GJN.

[@LastGoatKnight]

I don't know why but if I had to choose between the B-17 and the G4M1 I would choose the Betty but I don't have an explaination for it. I like its mobility though, just I need to learn to use it for ARB and GRB. (And maybe not bring it at 6.3 when I get constant uptier, sometimes full uptier with tanks😅)

[@LastGoatKnight]

And I came back, I just unlocked the H8K2, didn't play with it yet but it was super easy, thanks to my already spaded G4M1 (of which somehow got changed place with this hydroplane, at least based on this video) and my newly unlocked B6N1 Model 12 (which is imo just a downgrade from the Model 11, because lost its only offensive machine gun, which wasn't much and was finnecy to aim, because it's in the middle of the left wing but at least has the option to fight back)

With the F1M2. Its slow enough that you dont need to dive bomb with it to accurately hit targets

[@danplai]

Hello. what ammunition is good for the defensive turrets of the ki 21 bomber?

[@8BitDane]

Hi Dan, the Ki 21 has two different 7.7 mm weapons. On the one which can use the universal belt used that and I would actually just use the default belt on the second weapon, since that gun does not have access to the universal belt. Sadly the only belt with the Incendiary bullet in the second weapon is the default one and we do love to set things on fire 🔥

[@danplai]

@@8BitDane merci

[@ccariior]

Very cool

[@ThanhQuaySkillFo4]

Good

[@Wlodarzeq]

Hello what do you think about H8K3 premium bomber is worth it to buy it?

[@8BitDane]

Well...it's a lot better than the H8K2 in the regular tech tree, with a crazy high top speed and a lot of defensive cannons and for Japan, a good bomb load. BUT it is a very large aircraft as a con and for some reason not rank III which is pretty sad. It's good for earning SL and grinding the Japanese air tree with base bombing. You don't see it very often. I like it since I also fancy hydroplanes in general. If you enjoy the H8K2 it is a good choice I think. It is also a niche premium, not meta, so this kind of premium vehicle is more personal taste orientated.

[@Wlodarzeq]

@@8BitDane Thanks for the answer 💪

[@joshuabonk3360]

On a Operations map you need 3 800 Kg Bombs. Or still 2?

[@8BitDane]

I think two would be enough still, but it has been some time since I have tested it myself.

[@kuyakevin2133]

how do i get the h8k2 i only see h6k4 in tech tree???

[@8BitDane]

there is a fold-out button below the H6K4 you can click on. That will extend the mini tree for the H8K2.

[@thenewstanza9069]

Do you recommend spawning on the airfield or in the bomber spawn when trying to ground pound with Japanese bombers?

[@8BitDane]

I would still spawn in the air, you can always just hang back and wait until the fighters are at each others throat and then join the fray. Depending on the bomber climbing to altitude can be a chore.

Don't know how many times these Bombers bombed Allied island ground forces. I know the Emperor's bastards were excellent at tunneling & BURYING LARGE ARMS DURING ALLIED ISLAND SWEEPS THEN DIGGING THEM UP. /// The Spitfire Supermarine with Rolls Royce Engine & Merlin Supercharger was an amazing craft with a wooden frame & canvas skin. /// MY POINT, HOW & HOW MANY FROM A MANUFACTURING STANDPOINT FROM BOTH SIDES whether cabinet shop or large plant was a race to get wings in the air. In the Pacific it was American hardware against the Japanese's.
