-The '''{{Specs|name}}''', a prototype in the J1N series, was initially designed in 1938 to address the Japanese Navy Air Service's need for extended range missions for bombers. This was crucial as navy fighter squadrons lacked the necessary navigation and communication capabilities for lengthy land-based bomber sorties. Due to its slow development, tests could only be conducted in 1941, when the [[A6M]] had already been proven as a very capable long-range fighter that could escort bombers with its impressive range; additionally, the manoeuvrability of the J1N1 was lacklustre, its speed and cruising range requirements were just barely met, and the two dual remote turrets were prone to reliability issues. The J1N1 did however did impress the Navy in its range, and was therefore remodeled to replace their older land-based reconnaissance aircraft and ordering it under the designation of the '''Type 2 Land reconnaissance plane (J1N1-C / Later J1N1-R)'''. Later variants of the J1Ns were up-armed with oblique equipped 20 mm to shoot down bombers with, which this night-fighter variant being put in service as the '''{{Annotation|Gekkō|月光 - 'Moonlight'}} (J1N1-S)'''. The J1N also served as the template for the [[J5N1|J5N ''{{Annotation|Tenrai|天雷 - 'Heavenly Thunder'}}'']].
+The '''{{Specs|name}}''', a prototype in the J1N series, was initially designed in 1938 to fulfill the Japanese Navy Air Service's need for an extended-range escort fighter for bombers. This was essential because navy fighter squadrons at the time lacked the necessary navigation and communication capabilities for lengthy land-based bomber sorties. However, due to slow development, testing could only be conducted in 1941, by which time the [[A6M]] had already proven itself as a very capable long-range fighter, capable of escorting bombers with its impressive range. The J1N1 struggled with its maneuverability, only barely meeting the speed and cruising range requirements, and the two dual remote turrets it was equipped with were prone to reliability issues. Despite these drawbacks, the J1N1 did impress the Navy with its range, leading to its redesignation as the '''Type 2 Land Reconnaissance Plane (J1N1-C / later J1N1-R)''', intended to replace older land-based reconnaissance aircraft. Later variants of the J1N were up-armed with obliquely mounted 20 mm cannons specifically for shooting down bombers. This led to the development of the night-fighter variant, which entered service as the '''{{Annotation|Gekkō|月光 - 'Moonlight'}} (J1N1-S)*'''. The J1N also served as the template for the [[J5N1|J5N ''{{Annotation|Tenrai|天雷 - 'Heavenly Thunder'}}'']].
-This aircraft was introduced in [[Update 1.63 "Desert Hunters"]]. The J1N1 prototype provides a unique long-range twin-engine escort fighter with rather uncommon features and later year armament. To address the inherently limited manoeuvrability of a twin-engine aircraft, it comes with wing edge-leading slats and automatic flaps to maximize manoeuvrability. The gunner possesses four 7.7 mm guns positioned in 2 dual remote turrets with very favourable angles and a [[Type 99 Model 2 (20 mm)]] cannon, which is rather rare for its tier until the A6M5 models and better. To maximize its damage output, the J1N1 should used initially to hunt bombers, with either forward armament or possibly flying in-front- underneath the enemy bomber utilizing the gunner and after securing the higher altitude range, Booming and Zooming on lower altitude targets with the remaining ammo in the forward armament.
+This aircraft was introduced in [[Update 1.63 "Desert Hunters"]]. The J1N1 prototype offers a unique experience as a long-range twin-engine escort fighter with some uncommon features and later-year equipment for its relatively low tier and BR. To address the naturally limited manoeuvrability of a twin-engine aircraft, it is equipped with wing edge-leading slats and automatic flaps, which help maximize its agility. The aircraft's defensive armament includes four 7.7 mm guns mounted in two dual remote turrets with favourable angles, along with a [[Type 99 Model 2 (20 mm)]] cannon, a rare feature at this tier until later A6M5 models. The J1N1 should initially be used to hunt bombers to maximise its damage output. You can engage these targets with the forward armament or by positioning the aircraft in front and beneath the enemy bomber to utilize the gunner's firepower. After securing altitude advantage, the aircraft can transition to a Boom-and-Zoom strategy, diving on lower altitude targets with the remaining ammo in the forward armament.

 Unlike most Japanese aircraft, the J1N1 can take quite a lot of punishment. As a twin-engine fighter/interceptor/attacker, it has the ability to remain in operation even flying on only one engine and with partial wing missing. While there is no real protection for its fuel tanks, it is less likely to catch fire when compared to other Japanese aircraft at its battle rating. If playing Realistic Battles, it is battle rating is slightly higher than arcade, but its forte is really in arcade battles at its battle rating. Its bomb load is relegated to smaller bomb sizes, but at the battle rating, it is enough to take out a few ground targets. The autocannons and machine guns on the aircraft are sufficient to perform strafing runs on lightly armoured vehicles.
-The J1N1 flying low in AB can be a real distraction for the enemy team, keeping them away from the objectives of destroying ground targets. None of its weapons cannons is very powerful and its ammo count is quite low, but in arcade battles that is not much of a problem with in-flight reloadable ammunition when you run out. For quite a large aircraft, it is very manoeuvrable, and the "ace up its sleeve" is the rear-facing turrets, each with two 7.7 mm machine guns and unlike other fighters and bombers at its battle rating, the rear gunners are enclosed within the aircraft and not exposed to stray bullets. Enemy fighters on the tail of a J1N1 often find they suffer critical damage or are shot down while the offensive guns are trained on oncoming aircraft or ground targets. The playstyle is neither "Boom & Zoom" nor "Dog-fight", but rather to fly low and drag the enemy onto the tail of the J1N1. In arcade battle, enemies will sometimes try to ram the J1N1, in an attempt to knock off a wing, but it will continue to fly, often losing only the wingtip.

In arcade battle, enemies will sometimes try to ram the J1N1, in an attempt to knock off a wing, but it will continue to fly, often losing only the wingtip.
 This aircraft is less useful in realistic and simulator battles mainly due to its low ammo count, but the characteristic play style mentioned before could prove almost as rewarding and it can take quite a bit of punishment before being destroyed.

 The J1N would have many variants designed for intercepting bombers and would be seen throughout the war. With the Allies use of the B-29 at the end of the war, the J1N could no longer out the Ally bombers. The J1N's success slowly started to fade, but some extremely skilful pilots such as Sachio Endo were still capable of downing many B-29's despite their plane being vastly outdated in 1945.
-J1N's built, with only 1 surviving the war. The surviving aircraft can be found at "Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly", in Virginia USA.
