Hey all,
At first I hated the J8M, and I still largely do, but it can be fun at times. It is love-hate.
Once you get the hang of it, you can have consistently 'ok'/average games. You will never (atleast not that I've seen) have a good or great game in this aircraft; 2.0 is simply not made for this type of plane.
I have gotten pretty good at it. When you fire its 'guns', it fires 2 projectiles, that very much follow different trajectories and do not converge, making it hard to hit, even with 2+3 gunner skills and gunsight (as I have).
It has gotten to the point now where I sometimes land 100% of my projectiles (not just shots, but BOTH projectiles) thru a full cycle til the cannon overheats... the result? The enemy plane escapes with 20 - 80hp; it really freaking sucks.
All I am asking for is 1 more shot before overheat. That is it. One more shot. If I am able to lead the target so perfectly that both projectiles come out of the cannon and hit the target while flying 700 - 900 km/ph -- and do it 4 times in a row, I really feel it should be a kill (bombers and GAA excluded). We need that 5th shot. Landing these shots are like hitting an AWP shot in counterstrike x1000.
I don't think anyone can argue this extra shot will make the J8M overpowered -- and I can't imagine it'd take much time for the devs to make the change.
So how about it? Lets make world of warplanes great again! Lets get the developers to listen to the players and do something that I (hope) everyone can agree on.
Is there anyway we can get the developers to do this? It would mean A LOT to us J8M pilots -- I mean like --- A LOT.
If you do vote no, please explain your reasoning, perhaps there is something I'm missing about the J8M.
