Amount of Ki84s actually made
« on: July 26, 2004, 09:27:41 AM »
I went researcing the ki84 the other day and found out there were 3 different models of it.

The Ki84a had 2x12.7mm and 2x20mm

The ki84b had 4x20mms

The ki84c had 2x30mms and 2x20mms

Does anyone know how many were actually made of each model?

There were 3,514 Ki-84's built.

About 3,000 wer Ki-84-I-Ko (two 20mm and two 12.7mm) and about 500 were Ki-84-I-Otsu (four 20mm)

It seems that none of the two 20mm and two 30mm armed Ki-84s made it into service and only a few may have been built.


EDIT:

By comparison there were 410 N1K2-Js built and just 275 C.205s built.

Thanks guys for the info.

I had went researching on it because it seems that a lot of peeople want it to be put in.

Im really hoping that it wont be put in.

Reasons why it should not be put in.

1. By what you guys wrote on the amount made that it shows it wasnt mass produced.

2. Why do we need more late war aircraft, we should be getting more early war aircraft.

3. It would replace the la7, nik, spit, and typh all in one.

If it was put in, almost everyone will be flying it.

The ostwind wasn't mass produced and we have it.

And I agree with Storch. Would be a good plane to have. Although there is several that we need to get before the Ki.

:confused:

Pray tell, what the heck do you think mass produced would be?

The one year production total for the Ki-84 is higher than the one year production total for any other Japanese aircraft.

It most certainly was mass produced.  3,500 is respectable for one and a half years of production.  That is a larger number than most of the aircraft in AH right now.

It's performance is not nearly on that level.  It's firepower is a bit less than the Spitfire Mk IX.  It's speed is well shy of the La-7 and Typhoon.  It is less forgiving than the N1K2-J, and likely much poorer in the verticle.

It's not the bogeyman.

Please, define "mass production".

3000+ aircraft is "mass production" by all accounts in my book.

There should be no WW2 aircraft excluded from AH.

We have perk system to balance the number.

Ki-84-I-Ko = freebie aircraft with a low ENY.

Ki-84-I-Otsu = perk aircraft for about 10 perk points

The KI-84 would be nice. In AW days it was 1 of the best fighters in the big pac.It was fast and could turn on a dime.

The Ki-84 Hayate was a good plane. Built to replace the Ki-43, the first prototype was built in '43. By the end of '44 1,670 were built. Considering that production started in April of '44, I'd say that is mass production. The numbers I find are that 3,382 aircraft, excluding pre-series and service trials aircraft, were built.  I also find that all models were powered by a 2,000 hp Ha-45 (type 4) engine giving it a top speed of 388 mph at just over 21k. Good rook plane :). I'd like to see it added eventually.

Ki-84-I-Ko--2 20mm and 2 12.7mm
Ki-84-I-Otsu--4 20mm and 2 12.7mm
Ki-84-I-Hei--2 30mm and 2 20mm--this plane was a specialized buff interceptor but very few were built

Climb rate was 3,790 ft/min and max range was 1,025 miles.

Please feel free to correct any errors.
