Has anyone found any photos of the Peggy other than this one?

Anybody got any bombload specs on this girl? How much will she carry? Will it be similar to a JU88 as far as speed? Will it carry as much ordinance? as the JU? Should be fun in scenarios.

This is quick and dirty from memory, since I'm at work, but....

Its almost 50mph faster than our fastest bomber (B26 = 280ish Ki67 = 334mph), has a light bomb load, but should have good defensive guns (20mm & 12.7mm MG) and be quite manueverable. It should also be fairly durable, since the Japanese had learned the importance of armor and self sealing tanks by this point.

It can carry 1,764 lbs. (800 kg)of bombs or one torpedo.

It has a 12.7 mm in the nose, left, and right side positions, plus a twin 12.7's in the tail. The top turret is a 20mm.

wow very light load..

Sounds like our new ackstar though with those guns

Superfly, how many bombs will it carry?

"Without bombs the Ki-67 could easily make loops and vertical turns ... controls smooth up to 600Km/h IAS ..."

From Francillon's book. Good luck you buff hunters

Raubvogel · « **Reply #7 on:** December 07, 2001, 03:52:00 PM »

I think the most common load was like 5x250lb bombs, but that's from memory...which isn't very good

Superfly · « **Reply #8 on:** December 07, 2001, 04:08:00 PM »

15 x 50kg
8 x 100kg
3 x 250kg
1 x 500kg

Are it's possible loadouts.

Ki-67 will be a fast, well defended bomber useful for the suppression of small targets such as AA guns, ammo, fuel, base radar and troops.

Should be nasty against towns and strat targets with lots of buildings.

Yes, indeed. A very historical usage, wouldn't you say Funked?

Just funnin' yas.

You KNOW I don't care what they add!

If you're sitting in a fighter, every thing you see is a target.

The true strengths of the plane may not be able to be exploited, true enough; it is however a potent combat aircraft and a very worthy addition to the Japanese stable.

Fariz · « **Reply #13 on:** December 07, 2001, 07:09:00 PM »

Hmmm, probably it will be used as a torpedo platform. Those torpedo planes we have now are too easily killed by fleet fighters.

Other than that and ack starring -- almost completely useless.
