Ki-44
« on: October 02, 2014, 02:30:28 PM »
I think it would make a nice addition to the game, it could climb well, was a small target, and had a decent armerment, examples being 4 12.7 MGs, 2 12.7 MGs and 2 20mm cannons, and some were fitted with 40mms along with the nose MGs. Some pics:

Ki43\84 flaps. And Ki43 ailerons. Might be one squirrely little sake rocket. But, watching HTC over the years, Ki-44 IIc. Four Ho-103 12.7mm for our trouble, because earlier versions still used the type 89 telescope gunsight. Two more Ho-103 better than the Ki-43. Same gunsight as our Ki-43.

The Ki-44 wouldn't be uber by any stretch of the imagination. Sub-400mph at best altitude, and unlike the other Japanese fighters not particularly maneuverable. It has an excellent rate of climb and good armament, but if the 40mm are modeled keep in mind their very poor muzzle velocity (800fps). It would be a modestly effective bomber interceptor, but is pretty thoroughly outlcassed by most single-engine fighters.

That said, this is a plane that NEEDS to be added for historical scenarios.

I tend to have more issues with N1ks than Ki-84s. Both can still be a handful but the N1k seems to be more so in the hands of more people (easy mode?).

I am more scared of N1K's guns than anything. They can literally get one gun solution and completely end your world out of pure luck.
