Missing Japanese aircraft with 1000+ production
« on: January 20, 2010, 02:52:55 PM »
It would be nice to get some of the Japanese aircraft that were produced in significant numbers.  As much as we see posts about the H8K2 or B7A2 and such, only slightly more than 100 of each of those were built.  Lets take a look at some of the Japanese combat aircraft that were built in high numbers, but have yet to be added to AH.

Ki-43 "Oscar" 5919 built
G4M "Betty" 2446 built
Ki-21 "Sally" 2064 built
D4Y "Judy" 2038 built
Ki-48 "Lily" 1997 built
Ki-46 "Dinah" 1746 built
Ki-45 "Nick" 1701 built
Ki-27 "Nate" 1329 built
B6N "Jill" 1268 built
Ki-44 "Tojo" 1225 built
P1Y1 "Frances" 1098 built
G3M "Nell" 1048 built
N1K1-J "George" 1007 built

It would be nice to see some of these aircraft added so as to flesh out the Japanese planeset and eliminate the need for so many harsh and inappropriate substitutions.

Though not built in 1000+ numbers, I'd rather see the J2M than another N1K variant.

Only reason I listed the N1K1-J is because it is so different from the N1K2-J as to be almost an entirely different aircraft.

I am also not suggesting that all of these need to be added, just that these are the 1000+ production run aircraft.  As things like the Ta152, P-47M and F4U-1C have demonstrated, HTC does not see total production of an aircraft as an unassailable boundary.

Yeah, its pretty obvious that whether or not it will be used in the MA factors into addition.

The M was of course a gimme, just a D-40 with a uptuned engine.

I don't see why we can't have ALL these planes! We have a wirbelwind and there were only 192 of them built, so if anyone pulls the amount made card you can always shove that in their face  :D

These things take a lot of time to make, particularly the multi-position bombers such as the G3M, G4M, P1Y1, Ki-21 and Ki-48.  A lot of them could very much be seen as duplicate effort as well.  Do we really need both the G4M and Ki-21?  While I like the P1Y1 a lot, do we need it in a game that has the Ki-67?

I very much agree. I would love to see more Japanese aircraft. Your list is great, and in a good order. The top three on your list plus the Ki-84Ib would rock for the MA some and the special events a bunch.
