Ki-43, Ki-44, Ki-45, Me-410

[Ghosth]

Yes yes yes yes and yes.

Seriously, if you analyse the Japanese planeset, vs the German one. One of the reasons the JP side always has such problems is that they are missing most of their hvy fighters/attack bombers.

Take away the 110 from a Bob, and perhaps the 190 as well, and what do you have?

The ki-43, 44, 45 are MUST have planes for the JP planeset.
And yes I believe the Me-410 is the next plane on the voted list, so hopeing we get that one as well.

After that, Jp bombers, like the Betty, late war carrier attack planes (that would stand a chance unlike poor val)

[Xasthur]

Overall the performance is better than a 110, though, and with far more interesting weapons loadouts!

Indeed! The 1 tonne (IIRC) of recoil was said to nothing short of terrifying for the crew. I suspect it would be the same for those on the receiving end too 

[ShrkBite]

the 410 all the way!

[spit16nooby]

410 would be great for missions with the speed of a mossie and the loadout of a 110.

[Urchin]

Also could the Ki-61 get a redone cockpit?

[moot]

And a bottle of sake.

[Easyscor]

Definitely yes on the Ki's but we need the Betty to go with the set.

[splitatom]

o you forgot the same weight of bombs as an a-20 with 2 1000kg bombs or 10 50kg bombs

[Karnak]

410 would be great for missions with the speed of a mossie and the loadout of a 110.

Me410 was slower than the Mosquito Mk VI at AH combat alts.

[DaddyAck]

He-111, then yes fill in the IJA plane set because as it is it is anemic at best.

[SuBWaYCH]

And lets analyse the French plane set.......................... ..
Bring on the D.520

[Jester]

Ki-44
Performance
Maximum speed: 376 mph
Cruise speed: 249 mph
Stall speed: 93 mph
Rate of climb: 3,940 ft/min

Have to agree with everone else here in that the Japanese plane set has ALWAYS needed beefing up. Needed much more than the ground vehicles we recently received IMHO. When the FRANK came along was a MAJOR improvement but it still needs a few slots filled. Mainly the Mid to late war slots.

Japanese side needs the KI-44 TOJO & KI-45 NICK for the IJAAF and the late war carrier planes like the JUDY Dive Bomber & JILL or GRACE Torpedo Bomber for the IJN. Somewhere along the line the BETTY, JACK & OSCAR wouldn't be missed either I imagine.   

BTY..as to the quote above:

The KI-44 TOJO also came in a late version with 4x 20mm cannons or one with 2x 20mm & 2x 37mm cannons.
