it is not a br3 plane lol it has 2x 30mm and 2x 20 mm with 600 rounds in total and they were nice enough to give it 2 100kg bombs instead of the 50kg bombs

Show me another ground attacker at BR IV that is having same weak bombs. Here same option for the allies is BR III with much better bombs and guns not on the bottom of the nose.


The new Japanese plane is exactly BR III plane since this plane is better:

And here the KI:


What makes it BR IV plane ?

I wish the Tunisian maps were left alone. The wells and corridors were my favorite, not to mention changing summer drought into green spring (Tunisian winter?)

I’m here and I can’t be everywhere at once and especially with people flagging me so I’ll be possibly band in the next few days if they keep it up.

Then keep it cool for a bit :smiley:

the Ki-83 is a tt plane that anyone can grab . event planes and premium planes wont show up as often as TT planes.

germany needs their planes brought down a battle rating anyways lol with such low ammo

the Ki-83 has better climb rate and turn rate stats than the event and premium plane

bomb loads with 2 bombs is better than 1 bomb since if you manage to miss one you can circle back and try again or if you drop both one will likely kill the tank or apc since the maps have such limited places to park them

And yet it has major disadvantage all you need to do even in a frontal engagement is too be above it and he wont be able to shoot you first. And all US BR III planes are moving with similar speed. Also the Ki is not a dogfighter and the turn rate wont matter much since its a very big plane and the cannons are at the lower side of the nose so in a dog fight they are very very bad. And its bombs are worse then the BR III rockets so its nice compensation for them. Not gonna mention the terrible HP I can kill this plane with a BR II TT US planes.

No its not really depends on the location of the bombs if its 250 kg bomb i would be good but 2 x100 bombs on the wings is bad like the UK event plane. US planes have much much better payloads then the KI-83. You can test it its very easy to kill plane. Absolutely huge target with very little HP.

If it had 250 kg bomb would be perfect BR IV plane but without it even the fighter planes are having same.

And the Soviets and the allies are essentially already dead because of every update going forward the developers have been destroying the concept of competitive gameplay so there’s no reason for their veterans to stay around in this game anymore.

its still a plane that can hold up on its own with a pilot that has basic understanding of how to fly planes . anyone can kill a plane it all depends on if they were paying attention or not and maybe if the devs are nice enough they will give it their 1 250kg bomb instead if it performs that bad

allies are literally handicapped half the time lol with people enjoying the scenery more than shooting their guns

The problem is they wont it will stay like this forever but better then nothing I guess nothing new. BR IV planes without rockets or 250 kg bomb in BR IV is a bad plane. Just compare it with what you gonna face in BR IV the BR V US planes. Can you imagine will the US ,UK Jets or the P-47 will make more kills then you. They have similar speeds and much better bombs since there is no BR IV Japan this means all the games are vs BR V US the devs are killing this plane from the very start too bad its such a nice plane will be stuck on a BR where all it needs is a bigger bomb.

They got all the OP premium again :smiley: and 1100 rpm rifle … xD

They are handicapped by their own playerbase specially US early BRs :rofl:

They lost their Competitive players a long time ago so you’re stuck with nothing but space cadets so you only have a few veterans who can carry most matches but they can’t be everywhere and the developers are overcompensating for that by giving weapons to the allies and Soviets which can let you carry your team essentially.

And that’s just more proof that the developers have no faith in the Soviets and not much needs to be said about the allies if you already know about their nonsense.

yeah but maybe they’re trying to add br 4 stuff so it wouldnt be a void anymore so in turn they can make MM 0+/- since supposedly theres over 400k players playing 1 match a day lol

If they make this it will be OK plane but in the current BR system with no BR IV Japan this plane is just a free kill specially with the overheat problem. But since the rest of Japanese ground attackers are absolute trash this one at least is playable and you can kill some planes with it. Sadly after you win you cant take out the big US tanks. Even a Sherman is hard to kill.

So as you can see against the US BR V planes they have all the advantages and even if you kill them you cant contribute to the team as much as they can.

Just as gaijin intended Because we can’t afford to hurt the cash cows in the slightest

Well the US faction is very bad faction since its really P2W faction even the Soviets are less P2W then the US faction since they have OP stuff in their TT while the US faction all the OP stuff is in Events or Premiums that are better then TT… its very bad for the US TT grinders that the people that have the events and the premiums are having straight better equipment then you can unlock. I have the Spitfire the paratroopers the LMG squad… the only faction that can combine 2 jets… and I can go on if you pay for US you really have all the advantages.

True in some ways but as a whole they are not truly suffering and if you’re one of the few veterans who have everything then the concept of suffering doesn’t really apply to them.
