[Tracerfi]

These never saw combat or even operational service, so they don't fit the criteria.  But I would like to see ore Japanese planes also.

[Lusche]

They may not.

G8N was only a prototype, the G10N never left the drawing board.

A short list of Japanese aircraft that would be viable in the LWA:

B7A2 'Grace' - A high performance torpedo bomber with two 20mm cannons in the wing roots.  114 built.
D4Y 'Judy' - Fastest diver bomber of WWII. 2000+ built.
H8K 'Emily' - Powerful four engined flying boat defended by five 20mm cannon. 167 built.
J2M 'Jack' - Mid to Late-war Japanese interceptor armed with two to four cannon. 600+ built.
Ki-44 'Tojo' - Mid-war Japanese interceptor generally armed with four 12.7mm machine guns.  1200+ built
Ki-102 'Randy - Late war Japanese twin engined strike aircraft armed with 20mm, 37mm or 50mm cannon.  200+ built.
P1Y1 'Frances' - High performance twin engined bomber armed with one 20mm cannon and one 13mm machine gun capable of carrying two 500kg bombs.  1000+ built.

4 G8NS Built

[Lusche]

4 G8NS Built

Yes. 4 Prototypes. No serial production, no operational service. Just testing.

[Butcher]

4 G8NS Built

Prototypes don't get added in game, a criteria was already established for Aces High - A) Squadron strength B) Combat service

Of the 4 built - none did a combat sortie, it was still in development and testing, I believe one or two crashed

Ki-84 otsu will never be added in game, only a prototype, ki-61 should be added when the upgrade when the Ki-61 gets remodeled. Ki-100 would be the only late war aircraft let out of the Japanese inventory, while Ki-43 series would cover early-late war.

Are you not thinking of the Hei Butcher?

[Mitsu]

Ki-84-I-Hei is prototype, which had 30mm cannon.
Ki-84-I-Otsu is saw combat, 300+ built.

[Karnak]

Why do people keep insisting the Ki-84-I-Otsu was prototype only?  It is clear the Ki-84-I-Tei was prototype only, but everything I've seen supports the Ki-84-I-Otsu being in series production and in service.

This has been pointed out repeatedly, yet the same people keep posting that it was a prototype.  It is like they just spam out that claim and never look to see if there has been a reply and so never change their position.

yups, i wouldnt mind a couple of those. The japaneese lineup is pretty short anyway.
Especially the ki-44, thats my personal favourite.

[titanic3]

Ki-61 remodel.
