I'm also the OP, and if I did that people would start expecting me to make guides for other countries and fucked if I know how to play Russia or whatever.
Also every time I edit the OP it fucks up the formatting somehow. I probably have a weird letter in there that makes the forum confused.
I personally love my Ki-102, but that's probably because I was also insane enough to learn how to kill people with the Me-410's comedy cannon, and that plane turns like a flying brick. But seriously, in something like 100-odd games with it, I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen something survive the big 50. And half of those times were fucking Yer-2's which are just generally bullshit anyway
If you want a comedy cannon plane, use that, because it's the best one there is in terms of being able to actually dogfight

Ha ha ha. Kill yourself. Also known as the “pt pt pt pt” guns. Look, these aren't really a “strategic” gun so I'm not going to dive into them much. And here's the funny thing – the stock belt is one of the best due to it's diversity. If you really must, you can go with Stealth (a good idea on the Ki-61), but don't bother with the Universal and Tracer ammo, both of which have pathetic amounts of actually-kills-planes ammo in them. In the Ki-49s, the stock belt is the most diverse still, but Armored Target is still valid. Honestly, I wouldn't even bother.

Remember how I just trashed the Type 89 a whole second ago? Well now, it's basically the same thing in a turret. The ammo type here is a bit different, so you may want to go with Armored, or Default. Armored has no incendiary rounds, but Default has less AP. Oh who am I kidding, these things don't even get kills in the first place.

Hey! These are on some kind of useful planes. How about that? Too bad it's the same awful belts. Stick with Default or Stealth. If you really must, tracers can help you aim the cannons when it comes to Zeros, but these guns almost make the Italian weaponry look good. Same thing as I previously said about turret 7.7mms, they're a total joke, but do yourself the favor and stick with default.

Only on one series of planes, you say? Why did I even bother to write this. Well, as useless as they are, I need to back the fuck up and mention that they're a direct copy of the MG 15 which is cool. So get off the stock belt and swap to Armored Target or AP-T; the default one has a bunch of trash rounds.

Finally, a fifty! Right? Sort of. The velocity leaves a little to be desired, but the caliber is all there. I rely on mine to start fires more than outright slaughter planes, and here's the treat: all the belts are excellent except stock, which is trash, ditch it. Universal is diverse with a low tracer count, which is what I like. Air target packs a few more tracers, but less raw AP. Tracer is nothin' but API-T, which is good for fires. And Stealth is 50/50 AP-I and IAI, which isn't the most potent, but could still work.

A 13.2mm MG? Odd. The reason I'm not touching on these is “wow a whole two planes where this isn't even the primary armament.” The stock belts work, but the others are better. That's about all there is to be said here. I'd recommend Armored Targets over Universal.

Finally, a 20mm! Praise the Emperor. Except don't. Actually get tissues, it's time to cry. See the bullet dimensions? Yeah. You know what this is? You really want to know? It's a Japense knock-off of the German MG/FF cannon. The one that was trash. The one that had immediate modifications to fire Minengeschoss. Guess what Japan doesn't get? Minengeschoss. Get off those stock belts and dive for the HEF-Ty belts. I wouldn't even bother with AP on these.

Ok, now commence the Emperor praising. 20 x 101mm. You're just 9mm shy of the ripshit British Hispanos now. Despite sharing the same sound as the 99-1s, these have extremely good velocity and can properly rip shit right the fuck up. Now look, I know everyone screams “HEFTY HEFTY HEFTY” with these, but I actually prefer Stealth and Universal. The occasional AP round is nice to kill bomber pilots with.

Holy shit, a Japanese cannon with a stock belt that doesn't suck dicks for a living. This rather long gun only fits in the Ki-45s and has a rather nice velocity. I'd recommend going right for Universal belts, but Tracer helps aim the no-ammo 37mms the Ki-45s carry. You really can't pick a bad belt for these.

Fuck why does Japan have so many 20mm cannons you ask? Navy/Army I think. Anyways, these are dissimilar to the Type-99-2s. Better rate of fire, and I think even a higher velocity, but the actual rounds themselves are lighter and smaller. Get off the stock belt ASAP because it's shit. Then your only real option is Universal/Stealth.

Ho-155y shit it's a 30mm finally. Shame it's only on TWO PLANES. Extremely similar to the German Mk 108 – these guns have modest rates of fire, extremely bad shell drop, and pack a nasty punch. Japan got no Minengeschoss game though, so they're a smidge worse. HEFTY is your best bet because you need these fuckers to hit. Thankfully the stock belt is acceptable.

Biggest dick swinging until the Quacker-Cracker 75mm was added. Also, yeah – no belts, no ammo. Much better shell velocity than the 37mms, though.
[B]Bombs![/B]
Guess what. There's no magic here. Well, kind of. See, Japan gets two types of bombs. AP and HE. Army and Navy. Ground and Water. Do yourself the favor and stick to HE. Period. Unless you're bombing carriers. The benefits of AP bombs against ships barely even matters since a 250kg bomb is going to kill a destroyer either way.
Also their 800kg bombs do as much “damage” as other nations 1000kg bombs, unless they've patched that recently. Keep that in mind.

[I]But, they're so tiny?[/I] Growers, not show'ers, baby.
[I]Seriously fuck off what are they used for.[/I]
They're extremely potent anti-bomber (BOMBER) rockets capable of airburst. Don't let their tiny size fool you, they will blow shit right the fuck up with almost as much fury as the German 210mm rockets. They also don't weigh much. There's really no other choice unless you're playing Arcade with the later N1K2 which can bring 4 x 250kg.
Once again, that went past my lunch, but I hope you enjoyed.

My favorite feature is the fucking needless god damn bots literally turning a match around by parking on the point in such numbers that you can't kill them all, in a low tier match.
GG A+ feature Gaijin, don't make the enemy team work for it, just hand them victories so they can continue to idle their engines and camp.
So this event requires you to play ground forces to get a reward that isn't for either of the nations in ground forces?

At the end of a match it rates how much of a match you participated in, ie how much of it you spent near or attacking players. It's so people don't just connect and quit.
be active for 50% of the battle or more.
It is on the end game screen, for as long as I remember.
literally I think it is the amount of time you are active vs the amount of time the game lasts.
I think the number goes down if you for example quit out of a game early because you lost all your units too fast.

This game's assists system is so FUCKING stupid. BEYONDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD stupid. If you're the last person that's shooting something when it goes down, you get the kill, no fucking question, no fucking reason, you just get the kill.
"Teammate took out the rudder, elevator, left wing, and every gunner of a bomber? But you were shooting it from 1km doing no damage while the actual killer was being not-retarded and climbing? Fucking winner right here, I'll give you the kill, give that other weirdo like 4 lions or something."

Pretty sure that's not how it works.
Assist system has been shit for years.
It use to have a system where if you got the first critical hit, the kill was yours for like the next 30-60 seconds and then they ditched it. So.. yep.

I had a few rounds in my tier 1 jappy planes because i'm not fond of the flying in this game, mainly due to ram happy team mates. Got a few kills, did pretty well but still had those shitty assists where i'm shooting a guy into the ground, no friendlies nearby, they crash, I get an assist. Marvelous.
Decided flak attack on realistic battles is much better. 1 plane kill in RB = 2 toward medal and i've already doubled my kills with the flak truck in half the amount of games it's taken with planes.
