KI-84 ib
« on: May 03, 2010, 05:09:07 PM »
From what I heard in another thread they were used in combat  :noid

Yes I know there is better choices of new birds that would help special events out alot. I dont do many of them so I could care-less just my opinion.

I think it wouldnt be too hard since they supposedly had similar makes just 4 20s instead of the 2 20s and 2 MGs.



Also....When was the KI84 we have now "refurbished"?.....maybe tie those 2 things together and kill 2 birds with one AWESOME stone....

Ki-84 was never redone.  It is the original AH2 standard fighter added in v2.00.

I doubt it would every be on that level.  Four fast firing 20mm cannons with 150rpg won't appeal as much as four slower firing 20mm cannons with 200rpg for two and 250rpg for the other two with the bonus of each individual round hitting harder.

Remember, the Type 99 Model 2s are the second hardest hitting 20mm rounds in AH on a round for round basis, being very close to the Hispano II.  They just have a low firing rate.  That low firing rate coupled with 900 rounds of ammo make the N1K2 feel very friendly from a shooting perspective whereas the Ki-84, even if it were the Ib, demands high accuracy to be effective.

I would love to see the Ib. Didn't get a slight HP increase in the engine (1990 hp vs 1900 hp in the Ia)? Would be a good addition in some ways, but I know HTC is busy working on the Ki-43(II) and the G4M so we should keep our request to a minimum until they finish them.  :cheers:  :bolt:
