The D4Y1 is overteired,make it BR2

This BR4 plane is inadequate at its teir compared to what everyone else gets,and is outshined by most.the only thing it has going for it is slightly faster turn speed,but the weak MGs dont mean anything.to justify moving this plane to BR2,I will provide the aircrafts opposing planes for reference.

Armament-having a single 500kg bomb for the price of only 2 7.7mm main machine guns as your armament,you are useless against anything more armoured than the seagull.

BR 1-3

Hurricane-the hurricane MK2B has 2 250lb bombs,which are really good bombs,a massive 12 7.7mm machine guns,which unlike the japanese,the 7.7s can take on most japanese planes,and it has a very similar turn speed.

Dauntless-has a 1000lb bomb ehich has the same preformance as the 500kg,2 additional 100lb bombs,and 2 50 cals which rip through japanese planes like its nothing,only for 5 seconds more turn time

P38-a 20mm,4 50 cals,and 6 M8 rockets,this is the cancer of BR2,only 4 more seconds turn turn time,and if someone downteirs there can be one in both plane slots,so have fun with that.

P51-at a teir lower,you get this monster with 2 500lb bombs and 6 50 cals in a fighter slot,and the same but with 100lb bombs at BR2,do I need to say more?

FP5-4 HVARs,150 liter drop tank,and 6 50 cals at BR3,a mini P47 to deal with

BR 4-5,the planes it fights

A20-4 500lb bombs,twice the effective bombload than it at the same teir,6 controlled 50cals,and 3 in the turrets,its a well armed plane that beats it out even with its long turn speed

AP4- 4 20mm cannons and 8 HVARs in a fighter package,no competition to whats better,and with good maneuverability.

P47-10 HVARs,500lb bomb,8 50 cals with almost the same turn speed as the AP4,and you fight this with your D4Y1

It is imporant to point out that germany has a stuka with a 500kg bomb at BR2 (JU87 R2) with only a 2 second longer turn speed.given this information,can this plane be moved to where it can do somthing

Personally I think a good portion of the Japanese planes are over tiered

A5M4, D3A1, B5N2, D4Y1

There are better options for BR 2, 3 and 4

There are plenty of planes darkflow could have chosen from war thunder. But instead they choose weak vehicles and also made them overtired. And I am still amazed they put a6m2 mod 11 instead of a mod 21. Mod 11 is a land based zero not carrier based.
