How can a TMB carry a 2000kg torpedo, while a dual engine japanese plane only carry an 800kg torpedo?? is somthing a miss here?

guy...that is 2000 POUNDS to 800 KILOGRAMS

800 kilograms is roughly 1760 pounds.

Actually it is this TBM =2000lbs of bombs (2x1000)
Whichever Japanese plane your talking about carries
800KG = 1600lbs.

always remember each KG = 2.2 lbs.

If I remember right, the Avenger carries a 2000 pound torp, not 2000 kilograms. The Jap carries an 800 kilogram torp, which equals 1760 pounds.
The american plane set uses ASI measurements while the british, german, italian, russian, and jap plane set use metric.

I wish Japanese Ki-67 could use Japanese torpedos.... and not that German crappy ones... If I remember correct Japanese torps had much greater release speed than other types so then the speed of Ki-67 could shine...

Correct Madbird

KI-67 still does a very sweet NOE run and pop up though.

MadBirdCZ · « **Reply #10 on:** July 01, 2002, 11:18:53 AM »

Sure it does

Actually Ki-67 became my favorite buff ride and replaced my beloved B-26 and Ju-88. Somehow some pople mistakingly take it for a Ki-61 when atacking it and paying the price for it... And vice versa they tend to clasify Ki-61 as Ki-67...

Im only looking forward to what new bomber system brings... Should be interesting

MBCZ, the Ki67 -tell me what's so dangerous about attacking it as though a '61?

Well lets say that ppl who attack a Ki-67 and they think that its a Ki-61 tend to go for 6 quadrant or High 6 passes.... Most of them realize too late that they did a deadly mistake... The 20mm on the top of the plane is really nasty

I hope this is answer that respodns to your question...

I've not been able to survive a single ping from Ki67s.

Isn't the 20mm a a tail gun?
