Torpedo has the highest drop speed in the game at 580 km/h and is one of the most feared torpedoes in Naval Battles.Try to bait attacking fighters to your six (and slightly to the right or left), so that you can engage them with the tail, dorsal and beam turrets. However, take note that the aircraft has very limited protection from the underside, similar to other flying boats. The 20 mm Type 99 Model 1 cannons are essentially upgraded MG FF cannons, and can do extensive damage to attacking fighters. When being attacked, one excellent option is the H8K's defensive armament. However, do not approach to close to enemy naval vessels, as the H8K is massive and an easy target for enemy AAA. Thus, the aircraft could be used as a torpedo-bomber, staying low and attacking enemies with torpedoes from a distance. As well, the aircraft can carry two torpedoes, which are very effective against larger vessels. The aircraft is a floatplane, meaning that it can be used to cap bases. The second, and more interesting playstyle would be in Naval RB. However, these are also rather ineffective due to their tiny size and low explosive mass. This means that the only viable option against ground targets are the 60 kg bombs. The 800 kg bombs are also ineffective against ground targets, as they drop together. This effectively limits the aircraft to destroying a single base, which doesn't yield great bonuses. The aircraft can only carry a maximum of 1,600 kg of bombs, in two 800 kg bombs. However, there is one key limitation to this role - the H8K2's tiny payload. The aircraft benefits from airspawn, meaning that it is much less vulnerable from interception. The first playstyle for this aircraft would be a heavy bomber in RB. In general, the aircraft should avoid close-in, frontline combat, and instead be used as a heavy bomber/support aircraft. However, it is a very large aircraft, and is easily shot down by enemy anti-aircraft fire. The aircraft has a strong defensive armament suite of ten guns (five 20 mm cannons and five 7.7 mm machine guns), and can also carry a pair of torpedoes. The H8K2 can be used in both Naval battles, and Air battles, though there are some key limitations. However, there are some key differences between the two aircraft. The H8K2 can be thought of as a Japanese version of the German BV 238, and plays similarly. 1 x 7.7 mm Type 92 machine gun, ventral turret (582 rpg).1 x 7.7 mm Type 92 machine gun, 2 x wing root turrets (582 rpg).1 x 7.7 mm Type 92 machine gun, 2 x cockpit turrets (582 rpg).1 x 20 mm Type 99 Model 1 cannon, tail turret (540 rpg).1 x 20 mm Type 99 Model 1 cannon, 2 x beam turrets (270 rpg).1 x 20 mm Type 99 Model 1 cannon, dorsal turret (450 rpg).1 x 20 mm Type 99 Model 1 cannon, nose turret (270 rpg).Main articles: Type 99 Model 1 (20 mm), Type 92 (7.7 mm)
