"Hard to find additions to the japanese planeset" Hmmm... You are right about the Ki 100, just a radial engine version of the Hien...
But the N1K1J Shiden/George, thats a good one!!! Fast, armored, very tough, and heavily armed....
Ki 44 Shoki/Tojo, another good one, both were recognized as formidable adversaries, late in the war...
But by that time the japs didn't have enough experienced pilots to fly them...
They would make gareat add's to the game

Plenty of N1K2-J's in the game now.  Over 6% of the planes flown this tour have been Nikis (out of 74 planes total).  Don't need the K1.  More N1K2's fly every night in the areas than were ever built during WWII.

Ki-44.  Speed and climb ability.   Early version with 4 X 7.7mm arrangement, which is kinda weak in the areas where this would be a B&Z plane?  Or one of the later Heavy gun arrangements, some with the Ho3 which had a slow rate of fire (good vs buffs, not so good vs fighters)?  Probably the best choice would be the late war Ki-44 IIIa 2,000 hp engine and four 20 mm Ho-5 cannons or the Ki-44 IIIb two 20 mm Ho-5 cannons and two 37 mm Ho-203 cannons.  
A Japanese B&Z plane that could actually climb (which the Ki-61 is not so good at).   Probably do well as a bomber interceptor and B&Z with extending.... but I think it would get chewed up trying to dogfight.

The K1s and K2s were pretty much different airframes... K1 had a midwing, and shorter fuselage, also auto manuevering flaps.... K2 was low wing, longer, and no special flaps...Both came with the cannons...
I didn't see the K2 in the inventory, hiding near the ostwind..... Tried it, pretty cool plane.... Great firepower.... But short ammo supply....

LOL, sure.... You can never have enough ammo....
I think the Browning .50s give the best firepower vs Mag capacity...
But Geez man, I really love cannons.....BAM BAM BAM!!!!
