[@theoneandonlyartyom]

do you think its better than the ki43?

[@TeenWithACarrotIDK]

@@theoneandonlyartyom I’m not the one you asked, but I want to give my ten cents. In my opinion, Yes. While the ki-43 is extremely maneuverable, and it’s guns can obliterate, it’s climb rate is quite a bit worse, overheats faster, is easily out energied, compresses even at 350, specifically the rudder which makes aiming impossible, has an lower rip speed, and is pretty much the equivalent of a plane made with wood and covered in Kerosene. All the weaknesses of the J2M2 (It’s g pulling, turning, meh dive speed, and meh role rate are made up for by its altitude, guns, and energy retention. Maybe it’s just personal preference, but it’s also my experience. I’m on console with a controller so I’m not able to defensive fight well, but energy fighting is easy if I have the right plane. The J2M2 is that plane.

I am a 109 G6 pilot trying to counter J2m2... What can you do? 3 battles now, I can't realistically outpace it on the deck, can't really turn or use my vertical retention, and absolutely can't climb against it. what do you do?

[@benz2086]

@@brodyroper8288 Not much you can do apart from either running away from them if they're above you or 2v1-ing them tbh. I'm a j2m2 pilot and continuously club 109s whenever they engage me. Being at an energy advantage in a 109 kinda helps if you don't follow the j2m in the split-s (you'll get lured into a reversal if you do and that's how I club most 109s) and just go straight, but then again they can just regain their lost altitude rapidly and become slightly higher than you for they climb so well.

[@leeham6230]

​@@brodyroper8288 The game is not balanced at all. Want to know the real secret to doing well in War Thunder? Play the best plane at the BR. 4.3 it's the J2M2 hands down, not even close, but there is a better plane at 4.0 called "XP-50" that beats pretty much anything in the vertical, and has an air spawn. Some planes just have no counter play.

[@esem297]

The only counter is a coordinated team. When I played the j2m the only time I died was when the enemy team side climbed far above us. Japanese teams, especially the pilots, are not very smart so a good American squad could probably dismantle a few rouge j2ms

Oh, so THIS is the plane I faced in my 109 K-4 yesterday! I saw its radial engine and tried to out climb it like I did the Jug and Fw 190, but this thing not only kept up with my climb, it was gaining on me, a K-4! I remember panicking in chat, asking around for what plane it is and what weakness it has it as it gained on me by the minute. Now it turns out all I needed to do was to level out and out run him -_-

[@fantaaasmaaa]

yes, one of only planes in japanese tree which i unlocked and died only once in about 10 games.

[@hdl897]

I feel like this kind of plane (this one, the ki 43 III...) is pretty OP. When it has less energy than you, it can simply dodge and wait for you to loose your energy ; if it has the same amount of energy, it will kill you easily in a dogfight and you won't really be able to flee because if you do, he just has to climb on your six to get more energy than you with its massive climb rate ; if he has more energy than you, good bye...

Awesome gameplay as usual! Looking at those dogfights, I'd need to learn some more throttle control. Are there any simple rules of thumb when to cut throttle in a dogfight, and when to avoid doing it?

[@Soft-fp8ij]

learn to use the flaps, when your plane climbs and has no more power for a loop activate the landing flaps and try to enter the enemy's 6 o'clock.

[@Soft-fp8ij]

Another tip is: Lower the thr to 85 75 when at high speed, it will make you turn better

[@Soft-fp8ij]

If you play on Ps4, there is a KZbin channel with videos of War Thunder teaching how to play on the controller, the settings in the video will make you use the loop without any problems.

[@TeenWithACarrotIDK]

It’s better than the xp-50 in my opinion. This thing is undeniable close to the best 4.3 plane. It has better compression than the xp-50. Turns a little worse, but it’s energy retention is a little better. It’s climb rate is definitely better since the xp-50 has an air spawn, but the J2m2 can easily reach their altitude without air spawn. Its guns are a little easier to use I imagine. It’s roll rate is better. It’s a little less forgiving, but overall better in my opinion. Too bad I never face xp-50s.
