In imperial Japan, plane takes you for test flight.

[@ClarkieUK]

In the realm of skies, where dreams take flight, There roams a bird, with an unusual sight. Kikka, they call it, a plane of strange grace, With wings that whisper secrets in space. Its fuselage sleek, like a midnight's sheen, A dance of metal, both bold and keen. But within its belly, a peculiar brew, Of magic and mystery, old and new. It soars through clouds, with a curious hum, Chasing shadows where the moonbeams drum. Kikka, oh Kikka, where do you go? To realms uncharted, where fantasies grow? With propellers that spin like spinning tops, It dances with stars, it never stops. Through dimensions unknown, it boldly flies, Leaving behind mundane earthly ties. Oh, Kikka, enigma of the azure expanse, A marvel of science, a peculiar dance. In the tapestry of skies, you paint your mark, A whispering enigma in the dark.

If you like a 262’s, this is what happens when you stop taking the crack that made you play the 262.

[@TeenWithACarrotIDK]

@@alexturnbackthearmy1907 The Kikka isn’t bad. It can be used effectively, but it isn’t as insane as other jets at it’s br in any way, so you have to fly it very conveniently.

[@alexturnbackthearmy1907]

@@TeenWithACarrotIDK Not kikka. 262. Its trash, short 30mm is like the worst gun to try to use against anything, and every damn plane is better (except for kikka, they are kinda similar, but specialize in different things, kikka also has guns you can hit at least something with).

[@FreeMeal4You]

@@alexturnbackthearmy1907 oh the old times that it was fun to play 262s

[@bezimienny_andzej6425]

2 of 3 HE shells have very high fuze sensitivity threshhold. When firing HEF with 0,8mm basically you have to hit a tough part of aircraft (engine, spar, armor, landing gear, weapons, fuel tank, pilot) to make the shells explode. So if you just hit fuselage/wing skin, your shell passes clean through. HEF-T or HEFI-T (can't remember) has 0,1mm fuse sensitivity, but it has rather small explosive filler, so either way - it's frustrating as hell, basically you can't use any mixed HE/AP belt, you can't use the most potent HE shell (HEF), it's tracers belt or bust.

[@ViperFox_]

These videos are actually some of the best. Sure its not flashy but shredding in a niche plane that a lot of people don't know how to fly is amazing

[@billbillson3129]

It is honestly cathartic to watch DEFYN show us how it's done! I guess I'm not positive why we need to drain the enemies' balls, but I can only think that it is because that's where they store their pee..... Thanks for making and sharing your videos with us DEFYN!! I just unlocked a Japanese plane that has upward facing dual 20 mil called Schrage Musik and would really appreciate a demonstration!

[@VitorJexs]

Ki-200 was my first jet ever in War Thunder. Gimmicky, fun, i think i got 2 kills in 15 battles. Kikka was my second jet ever. I finally have fuel for the entire match. Somewhat 1 kill every 5 matches. Then, this veteran War Thunder players comes with "Kikka will test you" "You are playing chess" while i'm a complete newbie to even Energy fighting and bnz. I guess i should swallow my pride and abandon the Japanese air tree until im good enough with the game

[@Lynexus]

This is actually my first jet! Good thing you made another video playing the Kikka. 👍👍

Starting off with ONE cannon with 50 round and at a tier you can see Su-9s and shit is just plain rediculous. Japan gets cucked out of so many useable planes because either 30 min min fuel or uptiered to shit bc no one bothers to learn how to fight it

[@sussinhardrn1048]

KI-83 once it's fuel gets down around 15mins is based tho

[@Myndrr]

I grinded a lot of Japan with the Kikka a couple weeks ago and tbh it felt surprisingly good. Same with KI-200

[@theexecutiveassociated]

This perfectly explains the experience of flying the Kikka

[@yuroon7811]

I recently played Javelin for Britain and it also very demanding to your skill, maybe even more than kikka

[@derritter3873]

The Kikka was my very first jet. It took me quite a bit to learn, but now it holds a special place for me. I miss when it was 6.7. Also, I will never understand why it’s stock grind curses you with only one gun.

[@user-gv4zb9rc6u]

It used to be 6.3 and recently the guns were nerfed to 770m/s instead of 920m/s like all Japanese 30mm's

[@KaitoDowell]

I actually had the best time in a stock grind with the kikka. Every match I had stock with it I got upwards of 5 or 6 kills and at the very least 2 kills. And I was only level 50 I believe at the time. So I don't really see the point people are saying about it being terrible at stock. But I'm interested on seeing why people think that.

[@user-gv4zb9rc6u]

​@user-ei2bu9kb6n the guns were better back in the day, the plane was a lower BR, there was less things that were just better than it like the su11 for example, so on.

[@raven-seven3786]

They nerfed the gun??? I wanna cry.. I remember these were like 1 shots and so satisfying to snipe with Also thanks for playing this plane. I did want a more recent/updated video of the Kikka as I did personally find it a fun plane to fly (tho a bit of a slow gameplay style). Albeit that I haven't flown it in a while, so I had/have no clue what happened to it.

[@pko6596]

could you fly out the il28sh? its actually kinda fun plane cause you can equip 2 gsh23ls and kill anything in a head on and the air spawn actually gives you a massive advantage over any everyone else while the turret is a great way of discouraging anyone from tail chasing you

1:50 what was the reasoning for going after the F-80 instead of the dorito? If that Ho229 wasn't completely tunnel visioned, it looks like you were right in front of him and he could have killed you easily.

[@DEFYN]

You can tell hes still shooting at the other guy as i am going for the f80 If i saw the shells stop I would've dipped earlier The horten isn't a plane that can roll over fast and get shots on me so I wasn't too worried about him I didn't go for the horten because i couldn't pull into that shot but I wanted to keep my teammate alive

[@alexfusneica2624]

Finally a defyn kikka video. I am complete

[@Tuhrue]

Hey Defyn, have you tried flying the F-16As at 12.0 recently, the matchmaker right now is quite forgiving for the plane. You mostly get downtiers nowadays rather than uptiers. Its almost like 11.0 but at top tier

[@toxicmuggle5788]

This is the onky Aircraft that I believe should have too Seperate variants with the Otsu(I believe the modification name) at 7.0 and the Kikka(Early) at 6.7 much like how the Yak 15's are Overall air should be decompressed by moving Props between 1.0 to 7.0 with Shitfire mk 24, F2Gg, and P51 to 7.0. Early Jets, late WWII bombers(B29/Tu4), and A2D from 7.0-8.0, and traditional Jet fighters from the 1950s and onwars from 8.0-15.7

[@kingwein89]

Definitely fights like a 190, but as if it was on rails. Odd that the type 5s are struggling. I've had a lot more luck with the j2m5, at least against fighters. I could forgive the faults of this plane if the guns worked like they used to.

[@flavortown3781]

Kikka is fun, hard to fly taught me to really fly jets

[@TwoStageTrigger]

It doesnt really keep up with the 262s. It could really be moved down in br just a hair. Maybe 6.7, 6.3 minimum to be just a hair higher than the salamander.

[@b_thegoose]

There was a nerf with the update??? NO WONDER WHY IM MISSING!!! I used to snipe with the 30mm. I’ve found that the default belt works best after this last update too

[@user-gv4zb9rc6u]

The nerf was back in like September and affects both the Ho155 and type 5 30mm for japan

[@evo3s75]

I had a very nice game in the Kikka a few days ago with 7 easy kills in a downtier

[@TommTooTone]

can you do a quick video about your settings? im trying to use the keys but it turns and pitches too much and the mouse still influences the plane. i have the mouse view and mouse aiming set all the way down, are you holding free look in the loop? sometimes your ailerons go hard and sometimes they go a little i cant tell exactly what you're doing with ur fingers and it never looks like you're using the keys when you're shooting someone. i might be better off just getting good at mouse aim mode idk but please link the video if you've already made one.
