Questioning the value of J2M Raiden

Aircraft in this BR5 position are extremely weak.
It is armed with four 20mm cannons and two 50kg bombs.
Why does this have to be in BR5?
I understand that there are few Japanese aircraft. However, in reality, the BR2 is appropriate. It is almost identical to the P-51C.
Let’s at least make it BR4.
If we can’t encounter BR3 aircraft, it will be even less useful.

To be fair I have no idea why they added it in the same update the KI 84 was added aswell.
Like there was no need for 2 BR 5 fighters to be added at the same time.
Even more so if one is just straight up better.

They need to replace the bombs with rockets and move it to BR IV at least…

Yes.

That’s a good idea.

Kinda wish japan would get a BR 5 attacker since now with jets the fighter slot would again be only one viable to use and that is limited to a single squad.

Well there is good options for attackers but the devs really dont focus on Japan planes there must be and update just with Japanese planes so Japan can catch up to the rest
