Yohei Hinoki, one of Japanese Aces has an impression about this plane, but I cannot translate it because my English is pretty bad.

In July 16 1945, He has shot down a P-51D of 457th Fighter Squadron. The pilot was Captain John W Benbow.

converted to ft,mph

35 lb/sqft is nice - quite nice
870 mph range - ok
but only 317 mph at 3300 ft ?? a bit slow for late war

Mitsu · « **Reply #3 on:** June 24, 2002, 07:28:46 AM »

Yes, it is slow.
But Japanse Army Air Force pilots liked this fighter because it turns quickly.

Man, this thing is slower than a spit, seems to be slower turner too, and prolly will be perked if introduced (because its rarity in WWII)...and you still want it?...

That's not a problem, RAM.
Also, Ki-100 is basically based of Ki-61. so HTC can put it into Aces High easily.

Hristo · « **Reply #8 on:** June 24, 2002, 07:56:30 AM »

but ki84, that might be a different story...

Yah, is a ki61 with an engine installation copied from a Fw190

(is true AFAIK

)

But I mean, it was a rare plane in very late war, 1945, is not a good climber, is slow, is a decent turner but nothing of the outter world, and has normal weapons.

Because rarity in WWII prolly would be a perk.

I mean.....why asking for this plane if there are loads of better ones,which would be unperked?. Can't understand it

I guess you simply love the plane

More uber Ki-84.

If this plane only produced 50 or 60, I would agree with you.

Hristo · « **Reply #12 on:** June 24, 2002, 08:39:04 AM »

is that 360 mph on the deck for ki84 ?

Thankyou.......

I assume the speeds are True Air Speeds not Indicated Air Speeds.

why 3 curves for climb and speed (heavy, light, WEP?)

why the 1946 reference?

Tilt

has no japanese.......

Ja, rather than the Ki-100, the Ki-44 Tojo should be suggested for inclusion in AH. It certainly was heavily armed (4 x 20mm & 4 x 12.7mm) and judging from the books I've read it saw a lot of action in the PTO (Rabaul, New Guinea, etc) & CBI
