FDutchmn,
   Excellent post on the way to disagree with the way something is represented in AH by trying to post factual documents.  I am not an expert on japanese aircraft so I have no opinion on whether a change needs to be implemented.  Just saying that trying to prove your case with fact rather than the usual "I know this plane outurns that plane cause I am an awesome sim pilot" is rereshing.

Yep, ya got it... however, the solution isn't that simple I am afraid...

Here is a summary on the situation...

Ki-61 on AH:

• Number of Fuel Tanks - 3
• Armament - Fuselage mounted Ho-5 20mm Cannons x 2, Wing mounted H103 12.7mm x 2

Ki-61-I-Hei:

• Number of Fuel Tanks - 3
• Armament - Wing mounted MG151 20mm Cannons x 2, Fuselage mounted H103 12.7mm x 2

Ki-61-I-Tei:

• Number of Fuel Tanks - 4
• Armament - Fuselage mounted Ho-5 20mm Cannons x 2, Wing mounted H103 12.7mm x 2

The way I see it, the possible solutions are:

1. call it the Ki-61-I-Hei, change the guns to MG151 asynchronized

or

2. call it the Ki-61-I-Tei, add an extra fuel tank, and change the paint job cuz it's the one for Ki-61-I-Hei

I prefer solution 2....

more to follow.... [/B]

Better stay with solution 2... if you let them stick anything German in it... you will have shorter range and less lethality.  But that is another issue.  Try and get the long range Hispanos.....

So, at least, Ki-61's name and fuel issues would be solved in V1.10??
I need info...

I am a pilot of the Imperial Japanese Whiner Force.

jarbo, thanks for the plug... I worked on this thread  

hiya soup!    yes I would like to go with option 2 as well

Mitsu, hey we the Whiners from the Rising Sun

should HTC make changes according to what we suggested,  they would need to do the following:

1. add fuel tank -  which would mean to re-calculate the fuel load and its effect on the Flight Model
2. change the paint scheme
3. migrate the directory for Ki611c to Ki611d

no word on whether HTC will do this or not yet...

[Mitsu]

i think 2. and 3. should be reversed.

[FDutchmn]

ahhh Mitsu, if this was to be placed in the order of priority, I would have it in this order... plus I forgot to mention the most important thing...

1. Change the name of the Hien to Ki-61-1-Tei, on the game and the websites,
2. Migrate the directory for Ki611c to Ki611tei
3. add fuel tank - which would mean to re-calculate the fuel load and its effect on the Flight Model
4. change the paint scheme

hehehe not the ki611d cuz it can lead to confusion, which is the main argument of this thread

[Mitsu]

punt for patches or new version.

I've been flying this plane exclusively this tour just to check it out and it's a sweet plane. I don't know much about it, but it seems like a reasonable request. I have a question about the Ho-5 cannons. Are they the Browning copies that were made larger? And do you have any ballistic info on them? They seem to pack a great punch. Was the engine a copy built DB601 or 603? Thanks.
