Was more talking of midway with the support of future battles, but still Coral Sea was fought to prevent a ground invasion.

No matter how you twist it, it all leads back to the troops on the ground.



And once again, you want the Ki-43? Fine, but don't say its imperative, which its not.

To you because you don't like to fly airplanes, but to say the one plane that shot down more Allied planes in the PTO than any other Japanese plane isn't imperative or historically significant?  That just goes to show how truly ignorant you are on the planes and vehicles that took part in the war and the entire war in general.

Again, I'm not saying that it is insignficant, infact, I never even said anything even resembling that. But I DID just that it isn't the most significant thing we could get right now. You guys just seem to be unable to recognize the difference

IMO, what we could get that is MOST significant as far as historical usage goes, would be the Panzer III simply because it was the backbone of the Panzerkorps for almost 2 years, and served extensively on all fronts.

If we didn't have the M4 sherman, then I would be arguing that we need the M4 sherman, since it was the main tank of the US armored forces for the latter half of WWII, and continued to see service into Korea.

Ki-43? Sure, would love to see it added..... eventually.

Tank-Ace,

A Ki-43-I is capable of shooting down an Me262.  The Panzer III is not capable of destroying a Tiger II.

There is a difference between being at a heavy disadvantage and being completely incapable of winning.

Hightone, even though that image is labeled "Ki-43", I'm pretty sure those are Ki-44 Shoki ("Tojo") planes.  Look at how far forward the horizontal stab is in relation to the rudder, the shape of the cowl, the shape of the wing, and the presence of inner doors to cover the main wheels.

Anyway, as I asked at the top, "For use in various special events, please add the Ki-43."  :salute

it may not be a MA monster, but in scenarios it would be a pleasure to fly.  Against the early I-16 versions (not the later cannoned versions), against early P40s and so on.  The KI-43 was a feared and respected plane in its time.

Again though, it will never win a general vote and will take the intervention of the gods to make it happen.

Btw, as someone who has a summer home in Tillamook county (not the city) and visits the air museum every summer, that particular plane is really cool to see IRL.

These two variants would be fun and even effective in LW (would have to be flown to its strengths of course).

Ki-43-Ic (Mark Ic)
    Variant armed with 2 × 12.7 mm (.50 in) Ho-103

Ki-43-IIIb (Mark 3b)
    Variant armed with 20 mm cannons.

Slade you may benefit from a bit more research. The 20mm were only on a couple of prototypes. There is some bad info about these planes out there on the 'Net.

No 20mm version in Ki-43.
