Hey guys, I recovered mentally from the election here in Holland, onwards with reviewing some of the new planes. Today its time for the Japanese A6M5 Hei, which is a joy to fly. Hope you enjoy! and do make sure to like, comment, SHARE and Subscribe for more, helps me out a lot! Have a great day!
Its because all zeros in the game can handle about 85mph more they could in real life. Gaijen has buffed them. A zero will have bad stiffening even at its top speed in a straight line. Also you pulled 10g's at one point in that match. I don't think i need to go into that one. Another fun fact the zero could only recover from a dive in one direction.
@@LILKRANKIN Still doesn't explain why can you pull 15 to 17 g's in air rb. Its accleration is way better than it should be. I can go on and on and i've already brought this up with evidence to gaijen and they told me its a balance issue.
As a Japanese the reason I started this game was seeing an a6m at the yuushuukan at Yasukuni shrine. As an adult with a job I can finally get premium and have been able to take this beast out. Maybe it's because it was designed by people who think and operate machinery like I do but no other fighters feel quite so natural to play as the Zero. Wonderful plane and great review. Sort of wish we could get an update on some older videos like the ki-43 as it's another personal favorite but great work as always.
@@simmonphoenix3206 Lots of people say they're too slow in a straight line or their dive performance is too poor, specially for late Zero variants. In my expirience this can be easily countered by climbing and staying at a decent attitude throught the match, given you room for evasive maneuvers and diving on enemy aircraft. IMO the A6M5 Ko through Hei are actually energy fighters and play similarly to a slower Spitfire. You can get into trouble against skilled enemies, particularly if the work together, but your avarage enemy players don't have the accurancy or discipline to properly exploit the Zero's disadvantages.
I look forward to spading out this plane, I've played through all the other Zeroes and it is oh so satisfying to pull that high loop after their pass and run them down...or trick them into thinking they can hang with you for a turn or two...
Great video! This is probably the hardest zero I flew, I mean... the stock version is painful, but they should add modifications that remove some weight from the plane, like the nose mounted 13mm and the small fuel tank (I think it was the little one in the right wing), so that it can improve the performance a bit, but overall it's a good plane... Until you see the repair cost x)
When you've had enough of 5.3 but still want to use the armament from the A7M at 4.7. I like that there is one more planes to use the 13.2mms because of how effective these are on their own in comparison to the older 7.7mms. Even the Zero before this seems difficult to use because it uses 3 different weapons and I like to use separate gun controls.
Looks like a nice plane, almost researched the tech tree M5. Here’s a tip, and something I’ve found very helpful. If possible, bind a different button to mgs, and another to cannons, that allows u to try to hit the target when you may just waste ur precious Cannons.
I feel you on the elections me and my friends work at a restaurant and the lockdowns are terrible especially since we’re from New York keep up the videos they make my day!!!
Just started playing the Japanese and A6M5 especially, the stock grind and bad crew is painful with all those crazy turns but it so much fun to do. It took some time to really understand the zeroes since I am really used to 109s and other pure energy/bnz fighters. I love baiting people with my A6M5 Otsu and when they follow me the jaws of the trap snap. Gonna get the A6M5 Ko in May with the sales for sure (p.s wanneer is nou die klote lockdown is klaar)
nice one starting with the zero's lots of fun! ;) (P.s. de lockdown eindigt niet jongen. Misschien krijgen we wat verlichting in the zomer, maar in de herfst komt de volgende verkoudheidsgolf weer. Met de Tanzania variant, en de shri lankaanse variant mag iedereen weer een rondje vaccinaties doen, en krijgen we weer strenge maatregelen. Dit gaat door todat wij masaal STOP zeggen).
when i grinded japanese tree with the zero you get from that campaing pack its was mindnumming how many people in things that cant turn like p47s or fw190s tried to turn fight me and i started to undestand why zeros have so high br and repair cost. its not only because of the capabilitys of the zero but more that the enemys are just so dumm
Great review! Seems like a fun plane, must be even funnier when it's a great pilot behind the stick! I'm have been researching the japanse tech tree. I can't wait for the zero, but I'm more used to boom and zoom. Like with the BF109 and FW190s, so it will be interesting for me! :)
I really struggle with the Zeros and all Japanese planes. I'll take your advice and fly them as I have stayed away from them for awhile. Sorry to hear about your lockdown extension. Fortunately here we do not have the draconian restrictions you are facing. Keep well Jengar.
I just wonder how in the heck you have become so good at this game. Is it possible for a console player to be so good? The only thing I can't do in a console is keep the enemy I am dogfighting with on sight like you guys do, the enemy seems to always be on camera. Blessings
From Zero to -18K Silver lions, overtiered, expensive and super slow, the others Zeros are more agile and fast, this plane is mediocre and the repair cost is dumb, 4.7 lmao. In my opinion, the only good thing about this plane is the three 13.2mm MG, it can actually be spammed above 500meters, the original 7.7mm are garbage above 400meters.
Been trying to spade this plane and it's a pain. Definitely more of a support fighter then anything else because the only way you are going to kill anyone is if they are distracted.
It's a shame that Japan gets paired with the Americans, most of the time my match ends with me getting killed by 5 Germans because I was the last one left.
if only eh. No i dont get paid, this plane still outturns pretty much anything it faces, might not be the lightest zero, but thats easily adjusted for.

@@brandonstrife9738 A Zero would suffer stiffening at 180 mph. No where near it’s top speed.
@@LILKRANKIN Thats true but it wasn't unmanage able till 250 to 270 depending on alt.

More like, from Zero to, Hei-ro, eh?
I'll leave now
I laughed at this more than i should've...
I hate you
I know they aren't "competitive" but I just love flying Zero and they are some of the planes I have the highest K/D ratios in.
How are they not competitive? In fact they are so competitive that most people in war thunder avoid them at all cost.

Idk sounds pretty competitive to me among the roster
They are VERY competitive
Spitfire climb rate, UFO turn rate and now p47 damage model. It's the meta because BnZ isn't reliable to take zeros down.

most honourburu, Jengaru-sama!
Jengar vids is what got me into War Thunder.
Same here
Any day is a great day whenever Jengar uploads.
The hit on that yak was beautiful

Wowwowowo, new A6Ms! Yatta!
Thank you for fantastic review 😊
Edit: 251:0 like ratio, that's lit 🔥🔥🔥
cheers mate!
Nice video as usual. I was the P-51D in that first game lol. Sorry for stealing your ace haha

The extra armor and the self-sealing fuel tanks are definitely worth it in AB.
fair enough!
Love your vids man

You arent playing Japanese aircraft right if you dont try blacking out the pilot with every turn
Nice shooting yak-3 Bro. Excellent!
A new Zero?!...
I'm sold. I want it!
Great plane but climb rate is horrible
when i grinded japanese tree with the zero you get from that campaing pack its was mindnumming how many people in things that cant turn like p47s or fw190s tried to turn fight me and i started to undestand why zeros have so high br and repair cost. its not only because of the capabilitys of the zero but more that the enemys are just so dumm
2:00 NICE
pilot snipe. It has been a long time since I have seen one of your videos (have a lot of school). good to see you still play war thunder.

What is your favorite zero Variant type 2, 3, 5, and yes I’m the same one who commented on the s-199 and bf-110g-4 history and for you Jengar
A6M2's :)
My best guess is the a6m2 mod 11
Can you plz review the italian cant.z1007 bis serie 5 and the italian p.108b serie 2 as o feel like they don't get enough praise...
Great vid!
This is A6M5C.
It has four 13mm gun and two 20mm gun.
tell gaijin ;)
Great description.
But how does it perform in a dive initially?
its been a while, i dont exactly remember tbh. would have to revisit. think it was quite decent.
I really struggle with the Zeros and all Japanese planes. I'll take your advice and fly them as I have stayed away from them for awhile. Sorry to hear about your lockdown extension. Fortunately here we do not have the draconian restrictions you are facing. Keep well Jengar.
Oh you like planes Jengar? Name every plane to ever exist 🔫
From zero to hero? There is such a song))) It seems to be sung by the singer Sarah Connor.
I just wonder how in the heck you have become so good at this game. Is it possible for a console player to be so good? The only thing I can't do in a console is keep the enemy I am dogfighting with on sight like you guys do, the enemy seems to always be on camera.
Blessings
It's just practice and learning, actively finding out what went wrong and what you can improve.
Dont quite get it about 3 machine Guns, why there is not a fourth one?
Are there 2 in the wings and one in the nose?
i dont know why they decided for this particular setup. the x-ray reveales all in the end ;)
Sorry the elections did not go your way, but glad your back.
When I see a zero I run the fuck away
speed is your weapon!
Hello, Why do you get 10K SL per kill? Usually I get 4.5K at the same BR. Thanks.
no idea, maybe i used a booster, i never watch the individual numbers, just at the endresult.
I find the Hei worse than the Otsu. I don't know what it is, I just do bad at it.
zero+Fw-190's guns = that beast
fw190 guns? not on this one ;)
@@jengar6258 no i mean looks the same guns setup type as the Fw-190
plane that doesnt even have flaws, except if you are on their 6, but that is quite impossible
is this plane premium?

Wtf is this Jengar? Why is this plane even 4.7??
Day 32 of Asking Jengar what is the song he uses in his intro
I believe he had someone make it for his intro. It’s not a full released song.
stage dive by silent partner.
It's a shame that Japan gets paired with the Americans, most of the time my match ends with me getting killed by 5 Germans because I was the last one left.
What? You let a mere election interfere with our pleasure? :)
always amuses me when WT yters refer to themselves or other players as "pilots" and not players in air battles

o7
Idk if you getting paid for it or wtf but what a trash plane, 4.7 really? it aint even a zero at all.
if only eh. No i dont get paid, this plane still outturns pretty much anything it faces, might not be the lightest zero, but thats easily adjusted for.
