KI-100 and J2M2s.

I always wondered why these IJN and IJA fighters have never been included in the game.

I can't think of a single good reason.

I would like to see the Claude added as well but sadly, it would only see the light of day in scenarios as it would be a hanger queen in any of the arenas.

True, but to do a proper AVG scenario the A5M and Ki-27 are a necessity (TBH, we should probably have the G3M, as well). Not one A6M fought the Flying Tigers in China, and even the Oscars were much less common.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

I'll +1 any Japanese planes, I've grown quite fond of the KI's and the A6's.

Ki-44!!!! Also the Ki-100 and J2M would be nice. The B6N, B7A, and D4Y would all be quite nice as well. The B7A would actually be pretty good.

B7A would be perked and most would use it not as a dive/torpedo bomber but as a field defense fighter since unloaded with ordnance it was able to out turn a A6M5.

  That is why I fly the A6M3 or A6M2 instead if the 5, it is the worst zero of handling. Let the B7A TRY and fight my A6M2   :D

The B7A could out turn an A6M??

I don't think this AC should even be considered for inclusion until other higher priority AC are added.

Both fighters were built in significant numbers, saw significant action, and won significant respect from the allies who faced them. These are late war aircrafts that would see significant use. I occasionaly fly the KI-84 and find it impressive.

Was there not a version with 4 20mm cannon? Would such an equipped KI-84 meets the rules to be in the game or was it only a field mod?
