Mitsu, I'v been flying the Ki-84 a lot ever since Wilbuz showed me A few tricks in it.

How would you compair the Ki-100 to the Ki-84 ?

P.S: I have no clue about JP planes.

actually, technically, it's a ki61 on steroids:aok

was basically a modded ki61 airframe with a radial engine. speed wasnt spectacular but turning ability gun package and climbrate were excellent:D

I would not mind having A different Ki-84 Variant.

I know there was 4 different types of Ki-84-1, but i'm not to sure on what the differents where, engines I guess.

P.S: Do not quote me on this lol :p

Not so. Ki100 is a Ki61 with a radial engine. Performance was about identical, but it was more reliable (an issue we don't have in AH) and it was available, as the Ki61s ran out of DB601 clones due to allied bombing.

Nothing "uber" about it. Unless you cound the Ki61 or C205 uber. I count them as "decent, possible good, and fun to fly" but not anywhere near "uber".

Folks think it was Uber because its "100" instead of "61".

What Krusty said, it was developed as a result of production shortages with the Ki-61s inline engine. Performance specs are very close to a Ki-61s. Small advantage in that it could withstand more battle damage as a radial.

the Ki-100 was not just a marginal improvement over the ki-61 airframe it used (which by the way is a honey of a plane)

Here's the Ki-100 in a nutshell

1)  Ki-100 could dive with P-51 Mustangs unlike most Japanese fighters and hold the speed on pullout

2) Ki-100 had double the 20mm rounds with the cannons mounted in the wings

3) Ki-100 had an initial climb of 3,300 ft/min

4) Ki-100's radial engine (about 1,500hp) proved far more reliable than the ki-61's v12 (rated at 1,175)

5) Ki-100 was lighter than the ki-61 - and this weight reduction with an increase in HP would lead to faster acceleration performance

6) In one encounter over Okinawa, one Ki-100-equipped unit destroyed 14 Hellcats without losses to themselves

7) empty weight is lighter than the La-7

Overall a really great airplane


and excelent companion to the ki-100 would be the Mitsubishi J2M "Raiden!!!


I absolutely LOVE ugly planes and the Raiden was damn smurfy

here's the raiden:

Ki-100 would be a great topic for Myth Busters. So much nonsense has been written about it you'd think it was much more than another under-powered example of futility. I'd classify the Ki-100 and very much inferior to the Ki-84 except in a dive.

Both the Ki-61 and the C.205 are excellent aircraft as long as they remain above 200 mph. Get either slow and they are dog meat. Both are hopeless against any of the know turn-fighters. So, get enough altitude so that you can use their excellent high-speed handling and bug out (if you can) if the fight starts to deteriorate into a turning contest.
