The R2Y2 Kai V2 is a Japanese jet fighter. It was introduced in Update 1.43.
Even though the R2Y2s are able to equip 800 kg bombs, they wield a powerful set of 4 x 30 mm Type 5 cannons, mounted in the nose. This aircraft trio is similar to the Me 262 series as they all lack an engine or propeller in the front of the plane. Thus, the R2Y2 and its German counterpart wield an impressive set of cannons. However, unlike the legendary slow-firing, low muzzle velocity Mk-108s in the 262, the R2Y2 series wields Type 5 cannons with a much larger ammunition pool. Although their rates of fire are comparable, this fact of a higher ammunition count allows the R2Y2 to be able to destroy large amounts of aircraft without having to return to base. In arcade battles, having a large ammunition pool is also useful as it will often be unnecessary to reload.
The R2Y2 series of aircraft features a devastating battery of weapons mounted centrally within the nose. Much like the Me 262, the lack of a piston engine mounted within the nose allows for much larger cannons to be placed within the space it would have occupied. 4 x 30 mm Type 5 cannons with an ammo load of 600 rounds (150 rounds per gun) means the R2Y2 is effective at almost any role it is played as. Attacker or interceptor, the R2Y2 is an effective multi-role aircraft for the Japanese at rank V.
