in reality they were weaker, still they are more then enough to kill with
i never found alot of info but i believe they were a midrange between mg151s (and the other powerful 20mms), and the mgFFm which is weak but still no joke as i have shot down almost anything with them
just try to get higher angle deflection shots
the weaker low velocity cannons are as good as the main ones if you dont just shoot the fuselage from dead 6 but try to blow a wing off or something from some bigger deflection angle of tail
i treat the jap weapons as mgffms and just try to get to point blank range and try to aim for one wing if possible, if not just unload into his midsection, as 4 20s will rip anything up point blank range
and im not even sure the ki84 has the more powerful cannon
the zero has the mgff in game code, this is unrealistic but apparently devs decided to use it as a stopgap being similar enough
now the j2ms have a better cannon as it feels like it has a bit greater velocity, the ki84 im not sure has that, still i prefer the 84A or C, b being myh least fav as it doesnt have as many weappon options, the A having a much better fallback or spammy weapon and the C has utter high velocity deth rays, the B just well nothing special so its my least used
but as for the cannons just stick to closer ranges and try to hit a wing at some angle off tail, best way to kill em
