WAR THUNDER 101 - JAPANESE PLANES RESEARCH AND LINEUP
In this final article of the five-part series on aircraft research and lineup, we cover the Japanese
tech tree, which, of the five nations, is arguably one of the harder ones to do well in.

PROS

CONS

• Fighters usually prioritise maneuverability

• Fewest planes among the 5 countries

over other combat characteristics

• Many big BR jumps along the way, rather

• Some interesting bomber selections (H6K4 flying boat,
B7A2 Ryusei, G8N1 Renzan, R2Y2 Keiun-Kai series)

than a smooth transition to ease players
of Japanese planes into the game
• No heavy bombers with 4000kg+ bomb loads
(Closest is G5N1 Shinzan at 3200kg)
