Description
The J6K1 is a gift rank IV Japanese fighter with a battle rating of 6.3 (AB/SB) and 6.7 (RB). It was introduced during Update 1.95 "Northern Wind" as a reward for the 2019 winter event Operation F.R.O.S.T.
General info
Flight performance
The J6K is an excellent air superiority fighter at its tier that can easily compete with its contemporaries. Originally designed as an interceptor to counter the legendary B-29, it performs the best at altitude and mounts an insane amount of weapons for its size and class at the cost of lower ammunition per gun. Despite the weight of the aircraft, it retains superb maneuverability, climb rate and top speed which turn it into an enemy's nightmare when piloted well.

Survivability and armour
Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured, etc. Describe the armour, if there is any, and also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.
Armaments
Offensive armament
The J6K1 is armed with:
- 6 x 20 mm Type 99 Model 2 cannons, wing-mounted (200 rpg = 1,200 total)
- 2 x 13.2 mm Type 3 machine guns, wing-mounted (200 rpg = 400 total)
The J6K1 Jinpu is an ostensibly well-armed aircraft, boasting the most cannons of any Japanese aircraft. Although the Type 99 Model 2's lack the stopping power of the Type 5/Ho-155 typically mounted on tier IV Japanese aircraft, they can do the job well when aimed accurately.
The Type 3 HMG's are reasonable spotting weapons that have similar muzzle velocity to the 20 mm's and are quite accurate, allowing for easy follow-up shots. One should not rely on the HMG's as they deal negligible damage.
Suspended armament
The J6K1 can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- Without load
- 4 x 60 kg Navy Type 97 Number 6 bombs (240 kg total)
- 2 x 250 kg Navy Type 98 Number 25 bombs (500 kg total)

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Excellent armament (best belts are universal/stealth for the 20mm and ground targets/universal on the 13mm)
- Good climb rate, usually on par or above the best allied fighters except the A2D
- Strong wings, can pull up to 12G at high speed
- Reasonably fast for a Japanese fighter
- Very good energy retention
- Good acceleration
- Effective combat flaps and rudder
- Reasonable cockpit visibility despite a few bars
Cons:
- A bit fragile due to lack of armour, pilot is very vulnerable too
- Extreme lock up of rudder and ailerons
- Vne (never exceed speed) is 780 km/h TAS
- Can face early jets, the A2D is a common opponent too and can easily outrun you
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
See also
Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:
- reference to the series of the aircraft;
- links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.
