A7M2 as IJN "Perk" AC?????

[Ghosth]

Similar manuverabilty as the A6m series in a plane that did 390 mph at 21,655! 4 20mm late model cannon or 2 20mm & 2 13.2 MG's

Tickets to Emeril Live?
Week on the Beach at CanCun?
Fishing trip to Northern Minnesota?


What will it take HiTech? Pyro?

LOL What a riot this bird would be in AH main!

LOL! Go fly a Spit 9 - it's a better plane.

Not that I would have anything against that, but the Ki-84 did that almost a year earlier, and was actually mass produced.

Would still be a nice "never been done" though.

A7M would have been closer to 450mph than 390.

Karnak I doubt that.  Francillon says the Japanese estimate was only 390 mph for the A7M2.  The never-completed A7M3 and A7M3-J are listed at 399 and 403 mph.

The Japanese perk plane should be something with some real performance like the Nakajima Kikka or the Kyushu J7W1 Shinden.

Mitsubishi Ki-83 would be a good heavy fighter / attack plane.

Or maybe a trans-Pacific bomber like the Nakajima G10N1 Fugaku.

"Fugaku."

hehhehhehheeee

He said "Fugaku."

Sounds good to me, Ghosth. We'll need a good Japanese plane to use for B&Z, now that we'll have the Zeke and the George for T&B.

[Ghosth]

(Examines stringer, eyeballs bait, decides it might be worth another cast. Considers adding a trailer of Cannon types to the hook.)(After all we know the late war Type 99 20mm were much improved over the early war versions.)

Shinden would be ok I guess. I suppose I could offer a week fishing for Catfish on the Red River as an incentive for that. With the hordes of Mosquito's, the brilliant nightlife of small town Minnesota as added benefits someone from HTC MIGHT nibble.

That is a website with cool 3d models of Japanese X-Planes (The Japanese Equivalent to the www.luft46.com  art gallery).

Cool site! Thanks for the Heads up

[Batmann]

How many should it be released A7M2 "Reppu" on AH?   It was produced only 7 prototype and 1 production model on real history.
