Nath, your right in that the 410 could do anything this bird could do, and actually more. The Me410 was faster by around 30 mph if I remember right, and could carry quite a few more armament options.

But I do have to say that the Ki102 is a much prettier aircraft that the Me410. Cleaner lines, and it is much more attractive overall in my opinon.

Anyone got performance specs on the Ki102a?? Everything I can find and you guys have posted have been for the "b" model.

I read in the posts above and in Francillons book that the "a" variant had turbosupercharged engines which could make it a very potent aircraft at high altitudes, just like the P-38 and P-47.

I'm curious.

Well there are plenty of Japanese fighters that were better than the Ki-102a.  But as a ground attacker I think it is the best thing the Japanese fielded.

If you want to do the heavy Armament thing do it right.

 

B-25H-5/10

Eight .50's in the nose and a 75mm cannon plus all the nice little turrets.  Excellent for people who like flying the bombers like a really big fighter, but still like to bomb.  The 75mm cannon with 21 rounds would however, wreak hell with AH airbases.

 

 

There is also the P-47 and Bf.110G, I wouldn't want either one of those suckers crawling up my arse if I was in a Buff.  Bf.110G x2 30mm's x4 20mm's, can we say Buff Hunt

If the B29 is introduced lets hope we get this plane with it!!
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I think Ki-109 is easier to model than Ki-102 (if pyro doesn't have enough info about randy...um).
It has more bigger cannon.

Ammunition: 75mm / 6,540g (8,700g)
Weight: 450kg
