IRL these fighters had a special system where flaps would automatically deploy at a certain G level. A mercury switch held a small drop of mercury inside of a glass vial and when you would pull hard the mercury would slide down the tube and cross the gap between two wires that deployed the flap solenoids.
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.
7:07 air RB in a nutshell. La-9 doesnt notice like a 100 rounds coming towards him and then the genius in Ki-84 full commits a burning La-9. And then people complain about planes like J6K here. Of course its gonna be OP if 95% of WT players are braindead, even at high tier. Especially at high tier.
The J6K and N1Ks always get overshadowed by the Ki 84s, but they're incredibly maneuverable, and if you can tolerate the low speed you can shred everything to pieces with those type 99s
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.
10:20 that yak3u is the kind of guy that roleplays as an astronaut at 10km and then goes full commit headon with the first guy that pitches sraight up for him
@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?
Best event plane I ever got, no regrets in doing it. So far the only plane that got me 7 kills in a single Air RB match. Absolute monster, and quite the SL printer as well!
@@fate3071 It has been suffering from a few BR increases, but still a pretty powerful plane. I’ve never used the market but, keep an eye out for it there!
My own experience playing the J6K1 a couple years ago was overall very good, though I always seemed to die to La-9s. Did some testing with a friend and the La-9 seems to rate fight better at lower alts, but beyond that I never fully understood why it kept happening.
Im afraid if you get more popular, the "average" war thunder AirRB player isnt gonna be your todays average player haha, all jokes aside thanks for all the videos DEFYN, you the real MVP of the grind struggle
Okay, my very first Air RB experience with the J6K1: After 5 minutes of waiting I am finally in a full uptier against exclusively jets. Not a single enemy prop or super prop in in sight. Got a lucky hit on a Me-262 and the kill, got in a head on with another 262, crit him but could not dodge in time, game over for me.
I always wondered what your thoughts on this thing was, it's probably one of the most popular Japanese planes I face at 6.0 matchmaking. What do you think of the Yak-15P? I personally feel like they are the bane of the P-51H, but tbf that's mostly when the Mustang starts off in a worse position.
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.
You should try the 3.3 p-51, the 4 hispanos with high explosive rounds 1-2 taps everything. It is incredibly fun and surprisingly good for an allison engine mustang.
Probably my most fav plane to play in all of War Thunder. Grinded out almost the entire Japanese tree with it (everything exept for jets). I have 2.63 K/D ratio with it, even though i don't even think im that good of a player (only plane i have a better ratio in is Spitfire F Ml.IXC, in which i have 5 kills for each death). I think i've even had a 6 kill game with it few times. In the right hands its deadly.
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.
Ik this has nothing to do with the vid but hear me out- the Agm-65 is the best middle for stallfights. When the enemy is slow you can launch one and counter measures are useless. Also it fun.
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
this thing is 6.7 now and absolutely gets its shit pushed in by jets every match. Please do revisit and spotlight it, really sad how it went for this plane, totally shafted by gaijoobs logical phallacy player statistics BR system.
How many hours do you have in air RB? I have a fair share of battles, but I'm nowhere near this good, I have no clue what I'm doing like 80% of the time. Head-ons are a nightmare, even with nose-mounted guns like Bf or Fw. I'm not completely terrible, I'm not always the first to die, but I am not even sure right now wether or not I have a positive K/D in air battles.
% as in? The best way to climb is by speed, not angle or anything else. The best climb rate for everything is going to be different. A general rule of thumb I use is for aircraft with a top speed of sub 350mph I climb at 160-170mph IAS. For aircraft from 350-400 I climb at 170-180mph IAS. For 400+ I climb at 180-190mph IAS.
I got this plane from.the snowman during the Christmas event. The two matches I played I found it so easy to get at least 1 kill. (I was playing like a dumbass with my friends)
IRL these fighters had a special system where flaps would automatically deploy at a certain G level. A mercury switch held a small drop of mercury inside of a glass vial and when you would pull hard the mercury would slide down the tube and cross the gap between two wires that deployed the flap solenoids.
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.

I fucking lost it when I saw he was going to try and snag that sweet juicy kill steal in a head on
This thing is also disgusting at GRB. It top downs Panther's and stuff as well as being decent at hunting down enemy CAS planes.
That was weird. TH-cam unsubbed me from you. Been watching for over a year now, and I just saw I wasn't subbed anymore. Weird

Wasn't it up tiered to 6.7 after this vid?
The J6K and N1Ks always get overshadowed by the Ki 84s, but they're incredibly maneuverable, and if you can tolerate the low speed you can shred everything to pieces with those type 99s
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
This aircraft has an interesting inversion in that the MGs run out of ammunition a lot sooner than the cannons.
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
I am always amazed by how easy and seamless you make playing air seem.
a lot of people trash talk about this plane but it's quite dangerous in a furball as it doesn't lose much speed while turning very good.

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
Still a shame it didn't get the 6 30mm that the devblog originally had 😔
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)

@No-Grass he said 6x30mm as in six SEPARATE guns, not one gun with 6 barrels
13:57 hold up did anyone catch that
Catch what?
This is one of the most underrated planes in wt
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
Amount of people dying in head-ons especially in Air RB is insane. Monkey-see-monkey-commit.
it can get really insane, ive seen whole teams diving on one attacker (after climbing ofc)

The thing I got from this video is that there is a reason the p51h is 6.3 and spit mk24 is 7.0. and the reason is not the plane.

i watch the entirety of the AD to give the bro the most watch time. Loving the content you're putting out right now, look after yourself tho bro
I always get excited watching your dogfight videos and then log on to die to the first head-on in the match.

TH-cam must be going well seeing how many actors you had in this video.
