Love these little national events.
Cool event. Not a Japan player but neat Decal.
OMG! Finally, Gaijin is celebrating the anniversary of our defeated country as well. Thank you from Japan. And don't forget the Self-Defense Forces Day on November 1st.
Too bad gaijin forgot last month (18 January) for Germany
Chomusuke1, Why would anyone celebrate the foundation of something that doesn't exist anymore?
Thanks for the event guys! Regarding the J2M4 Kai - it is not the plane described in the wiki page. I also bought this premium based on that description. The wiki is probably copied from another J2M(3 or 5). I hear these are really good planes. The in-game J2M4 however is different, very bad. First of all, it does NOT get an airspawn, it's climb speed is horrible, and on top the engine overheats ASAP. Maneuvrability is poor, speed is low. I would gladly receive my 50% discount price back.
I don't know if its just me but i find J2M4 Kai to be a decent plane.After 123 battles with ~75% winrate and ~4:1K/D it is a decent plane but definitely different than other J2Ms in terms of playstyle and performance.
It has a completely different engine from the others. Weighs 50% more than the J2M2/M3 for essentially the same HP. The main difference is that unlike the prior versions it has much better performance at higher altitudes. Notice the scorecards records the top speed at 7000m instead of 5500 with the M2/M3. Its a high altitude bomber hunter so ofc its going to overheat down low.
Why this Kiyoshimo costs almost 5k GE while Yubari next to it cost less than 2k GE ?
It was a premium before the naval tree split, where destroyers were top tier vehicles. It's basically a collector's item now
RenminbiYen, Yep... When it was released in a bundle as a pre-purchase bundle to get access to japan navy CBT it was 45€ wich i paid then as it was deemed to be top tier.... Gaijin screwing players all the time by adding new ranks and making premiums paid as made to research top tiers useless...
Did Week's latest decals for the new cycle get delayed? The last cycle ended today (10/02/2022) and I haven't seen any news on if they did or not.
Yes, they have now been extended until the 16th.
Finally IJN Kyoshimo on sale! Have been waiting for ages for that one...too bad I barely play naval anymore, after the new aiming system that just ruined what little immersion I actually had in naval..
Happy founding day to all you Japanese here though!
Its really not much different once you get used to it. You cant rely on the lead indicator that much.
WOW! The wallpaper and the decal are gorgeous. Thanks.
I'd seriously recommend that pack. It helped me get to top tier japan fairly quickly
Why does this event require Rank 3 participation instead of Rank 2?
