The '''{{Specs|name}}''' is a Rank {{Specs|rank}} Japanese fighter {{Battle-rating|2}}. It was in the game since the start of the Open Beta Test prior to Update 1.29.
 +
 
 +
The N1K2-J is a versatile plane that has its great acceleration and rate of climb as a main advantage. It lacks the impressive low-speed maneuverability of its preceding plane in the  Japanese research tree, but it can still turn against most of its fighter opposition and win the engagement. Its Battle Rating provides the challenge of fighting against jets, against which N1K pilots will have to use their high sustained rate of climb, not to be left low and vulnerable against faster enemies, as well as to use their turning ability far superior to that of the average jet.
  
 +
The N1K2-J can carry one of the following additional load outs, under the wings. The rockets were designed for anti-air usage versus bombers, however they are quite inaccurate and only one salvo can be fired in RB/SB. Make sure to select a detonation range before spawning in. Feel free to experiment, 300-700 m are common values. The bigger 250 kg bombs are useful in long enduring games, were few players are left and victory is determined by the last ground units. Ignore the 60 kg, your cannons will do more damage in the long run.

Description

GarageImage N1K2-J.jpg


The N1K2-J Shiden-Kai is a Rank IV Japanese fighter with a battle rating of 5.7 (AB) and 6.0 (RB/SB). It was in the game since the start of the Open Beta Test prior to Update 1.29.

The N1K2-J is a versatile plane that has its great acceleration and rate of climb as a main advantage. It lacks the impressive low-speed maneuverability of its preceding plane in the Japanese research tree, but it can still turn against most of its fighter opposition and win the engagement. Its Battle Rating provides the challenge of fighting against jets, against which N1K pilots will have to use their high sustained rate of climb, not to be left low and vulnerable against faster enemies, as well as to use their turning ability far superior to that of the average jet.

The N1K2-J can carry one of the following additional load outs, under the wings. The rockets were designed for anti-air usage versus bombers, however they are quite inaccurate and only one salvo can be fired in RB/SB. Make sure to select a detonation range before spawning in. Feel free to experiment, 300-700 m are common values. The bigger 250 kg bombs are useful in long enduring games, were few players are left and victory is determined by the last ground units. Ignore the 60 kg, your cannons will do more damage in the long run.

Cockpit feature good all around visibility. The quite high mounted gun-sight allows for good sight in deflection shots, if a bit of rudder and aileron are applied.

  • Great energy retention
  • Combat flaps are efficient while in dogfights
  • Decent rate of climb

Cons:

  • Mediocre roll rate
  • Can be outmaneuvered easily by the fighters at its tier if not used correctly
  • Easy to catch on fire
  • Often faces jets

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ historical reference" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/Name-vehicles/historical reference) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to include links to sources at the end of the article.

Media

An excellent addition to the article will be video guides, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.

Read also

Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example,

  • reference to the series of the aircraft;
  • links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.
