Kweassa-sama,

He's having a technical problem in RAF Type1mk2 gunsight.
Wait till he solves the issue.

Thanks.

The Ki-100 was hardly ubiquitous... it was a re-engined Ki-61. Not more than a few hundred were made if I recall correctly.

from Aircraft of the World
A total of 396 Ki-100s were built, including 275 Ki-61-II conversions, 118 Ki-100-Ib production aircraft built from scratch, and three Ki-100-II prototypes.

while the N1K2-J...

from Aircraft of the World
Only 415 production examples of the outstanding N1K2-J fighter were built, owing primarily to construction snags and delays resulting from the continuous B-29 raids on the Japanese homeland in the last year of the war.

while the Ki-84...

from Aircraft of the World
Total production of the Hayate by all factories was 3514, including prototypes and service trials aircraft.

The KI-100's performance was virtually similar to the KI-61 KAI we have. Had a little bit better climb but wasn't as fast. Armament was the same.

IMHO would would get more useage out of the JUDY & GRACE carrier bombers or the TOJO, JACK or even the OSCAR fighters.

I vote for the J2M, Ki43 and G4M.

Id like to see the Ki 44.

then maybe we could do damage in the ct during PAC set ups

We already can. I just figured out the Ki 84 kicks ass. Ive totaly changed my mind about her after the last few days.

Well, this has no bearing on the game (it is after all an axis model) but in RL it was reported to turn much better than the Ki61. while the speeds were close (the Ki100 had the 1500 hp Ha112 radial as opposed to the Ki61's 1175hp Ha40 inline) the Ki100 had a much better climb rate than the Ki61. Perhaps some of us feel that they were sufficiently different to merit representation in the game, not that I suspect we ever will get it.

we could use more Japanese planes of all types. certainly Japan fielded some fine aircraft and they would add greater depth to the game.

I haven't flown it much I can't see the gauges very well and the visibilty is terrible.

Slash27 · « **Reply #27 on:** March 09, 2005, 06:49:05 PM »

I dont have any issues with visibility. I cant read the gauges either. I hated the thing at first and could never get a handle on it. I got a wild hair the other night and just felt like flying her. For what ever reason I got a better feel for it. Its really a great ride.

Agree with you there 110% Storchie.

The Japanese plane set has the biggest holes of any in the game IMHO and should have TOP PRIORITY for any new planes made.

NOW THIS IS HOW THE NIK WILL LOOK LIKE IN AH2...

Note that the NIK has the same type flaps as ki-84
