    That is a major problem within the Japanese tech tree. You get these vehicles like the N1k2 or the Ki-61 II which are at high battle rankings for no apparent reason. A 6.0 prop is something like a Ta-152 or a P-51 H. Something powerful enough to rival a jet. The N1k2 is nowhere close to that performance. Rip

    • @rainsilent
      @rainsilent 5 років тому +10

      The problem is a majority of the props in the Japanese tree fall into one BR range performance-wise. 2.7-5.3. Outside of the J7W and Ki-84 there is nothing to go 5.7-6.7. In fact, if you gave everything competitive BRs there would be a BR gap from roughly 5.7 all the way up to 7.3 or 7.7 with very nearly nothing in between. The bigger issue is there isn't much at all that can fill that gap without getting into things that never flew. Thus there are quite a few aircraft that are higher in BR and the only reason I can think that they are there is just so there is something there. The higher N1Ks being the best example.

    • @AdamTheEnginerd
      @AdamTheEnginerd  5 років тому +22

      The reason is the high win % of Japan.

    • @rainsilent
      @rainsilent 5 років тому +9

      Because the player base loves to turn fight everything. Thus the nation with the most maneuverable aircraft will be heavily favored. However, once you get a competent group of players together, just two is sufficient and 4 is just not fair, Japanese planes largely become moving targets that are more difficult to hit then they are dangerous. Granted everything pretty much gets that way because teamwork trumps most everything.

    • @AlexVanChezlaw
      @AlexVanChezlaw 5 років тому +3

    Ok you might be an anti-bomber enthusiast but the Ju-288 is everything but a useless plane. It can bomb 2 bases and then bait up to 3 allied pilots down and behind it and generally get atleast 1 if not more kills. I'd rather take a capable 288 pilot than a Fighter who just climbs and then gets 1 or maybe 2 bombers before getting shot by the gunners

    • @AdamTheEnginerd
      @AdamTheEnginerd  5 років тому

      You're comparing a miracle Ju288 situation to a slighty below average fighter, that comparison is not fair.
      The average amount of kills per game of the Ju288 is well below 1, and the kills bombers get are predominantly on bad pilots, which is not as useful as the average kill a fighter gets.

    Petite erreur dans l'intro (N1K2*) ;)
    On va devoir attendre au moins un an avant qu'il le mette à 5,7. Niveau rapidité d'équilibrage et autre changement de qualité de vie, Gaijin est assez fidèle à son logo.
    Dans les points négatifs ne pourrait-on pas ajouter : "Mauvaise performance à haute altitude (perte de puissance)" ? Parce que une fois j'ai du grimper à 8000m pour descendre un B-29 faisant du "space camping" et dans mes souvenir j'ai eu du mal à y arriver avec cet avion. A partir de 6000m il voulait plus grimper !
    Après je sais que c'est assez rare de combattre ces altitudes dans ce jeu.
    7:00 Pas vraiment, je ne connais pas les détails (s'il était à court de carburant ou autre) mais je suis quasi-sûr qu'il savait que tu étais là grâce au bombardiers. Il aurait donc pu tout simplement décider de ne pas te combattre en 1vs1 avec le désavantage qu'il avait et aurait pu s'éloigner de toi tout en grimpant et attendre deux minutes (littéralement) que son allié en Yak-3U engage le combat pour l'assister. C'est un peu le problème avec la plupart des joueurs, très prompt à faire des 1vs1 sans comprendre que les 1vs1 n'ont aucune importance si l'on sait bien jouer en équipe. Après s'il veulent un 1vs1 pour s'améliorer ou pour s'amuser alors pourquoi pas mais dans ce cas il faudrait veiller à combattre sur un pied d'égalité et non pas se mettre un handicap :V
    Bon combat à la fin, dommage que ton adversaire ait un peu paniqué. Cela m'arrive aussi lorsque je sous-estime le niveau d'énergie de mon adversaire mais bon là je pense pas qu'il y avait de quoi : à 11:58 lorsqu'il voulait reset/bounce il aurait suffit de faire un Immelmann en grimpant légèrement au lieu d'un genre de tonneau barriqué ... ou alors de continuer sur sa lancé à 12:05 et faire un virage ascendant lorsqu'il était à ta vertical (plus risqué mais il avait encore pas mal d'énergie). Après c'est vrai qu'il faut tout le temps gardé un œil sur son adversaire et c'est pas évident ^^
    Je n'ai pas le Yak-3U donc je me demandais entre le Yak-9UT et le Yak-3U (vu qu'ils sont au même BR) qui est le meilleur et à quoi (niveau vitesse, taux de monté et agilité) ? Enfin si tu sais. Et aussi que vaut le Yak-3U contre les Japonais (vs A7Ms, Ki-84 et J2Ms) ?

    • @AdamTheEnginerd
      @AdamTheEnginerd  5 років тому

      Yak3U a de bien meilleures performances que le Yak9UT en turn, climb et speed. Yak3U est ta meilleure option, aussi contre les Japonais.

    The other problem this thing has is the gun. In comparison with American cannon say on the F4U C variant whose quick burst is enough to blow up enemy mid air, the Japanese sushi squeezers just aren't lethal enough to kill after making your opponent over shot. (Which is what you do majority the time)
    You managed to set that Yak3 on fire pretty much at the tail end of your opportunity, but you were an excellent shot, 99% of other people would need to reset.

      Yeah it took them years to decrease its BR after they changed its FM.
      You know, American 20mm cannons are not a reference in this game. American 20mm shells are too good compared to what they should be.
      (I don't know if that changed since it was discovered)
      The J2Ms have crazy climb rate but also have control stiffening at high speed from what I remember so meh.

      When I'm flying Germans I felt like an average pilot it usually takes two or more passes to finish off a pray. When I'm flying Japanese I felt like I'm a great sushi chief serving hungry customers, whatever I throw at them nothing happens, maybe a spark or twenty to show that I'm on the right track. When I'm flying American I felt like Harry Potter. Sometimes I see an enemy diving on a teammate 1.5 klicks out going fast (probably more than 600km/h). I fire a few quick shots hoping to scare him off. Next thing I know, something falls off his plane and it burst into a brutal flame and dies (most likely cursing hacking related content).

    Jp tree is too unpopular for beginners to use. And people who do stick the grind get really good with them so it boosts the W/L ratio and were stuck with these over tiered planes.
    Gaijin need step in and forcefully lower all the high rank JP props back down by 0.3 to 1.0 br and then look at the stats after and manually adjust them. The Ki 61s should never exceed 4.0 while the ki 100 should not be below 4.0. All props above 5.7 should be dropped back down to at least 5.7 otherwise theyre basically useless except in niche scenarios.

The one time I averted this was when I ended up scissoring with a Japanese Corsair after a failed bnz run on a Zero over Saipan.

Does this count as a maneuver kill?)

    I understand lowering prop pitch will still keep thrust and will give better engine cooling, but isn’t there a dramatic (but momentary) drop in thrust when you switch back to 100%? And you have to switch back to 100% when at slower airspeed don’t you?
