About
The Shiden‑Kai is an improved version of the N1K floatplane fighter, reworked into a land-based interceptor. It has twin‑rowing radial engine, delta wings, lowers landing gear, and is armed with four 20 mm Type 99 cannons—900 rounds. It can reach ~720 kph, climb fast, and holds altitude around 11 km
Playstyle
This aircraft is a turn-fighter powerhouse. Use its strong TWR, tight turn rate (~31°/s), and energy retention to dogfight — think classic Japanese style. Avoid prolonged climb fights vs. jets or props that outclimb it
