The J2M3 is a BR5 fighter plane avalible in the Japanese tech tree, and while it is a capable fighter, I suggest that it is lowered to BR4. With a decent set of guns and good handling, you can do a lot with it, however the better N1K2-J is also on BR5, and is an overall improvement - More ammunition for the 20mm cannons, faster, and turns slightly better, and all while having the same guns and payload, which leads to the J2M3 being just a weaker copy in effect. At BR 3 or 4 however, this would be more unique from tbe N1K2-J as it’s on another BR. The main reason this would be reasonable is that this plane is quite similar to the BR3 FW 190 A-8, but it has a few main differences from the German plane. The FW 190 has overall worse handling and slightly less ammunition for the 20mms (although still plenty), but is much much more durable than this unarmored Japanese plane, and has an extra pair of 13mm machine guns with plenty of ammunition, which improves the firepower a good amount. Because of this, I belive the J2M3 should be lowered to BR4 or maybe even BR3.
