Cool cool....these are good responses...learning more about the plane.  Yes, Cold War and all, perhaps not a lot was really known about them until after

Naw... the minute it's mentioned in the Announcements, there will be a great rending and gnashing of teeth followed by the  assignment of "perk" to the Frank.

I guess it depends on who's numbers they use... I think this is going to be a big argument if the Frank is ever introduced. It might even have something to do with why it hasn't been modelled yet.  It'll be interesting to see how everything shakes out though.

Simply the best Japanese fighter of WWII. Very maneuverable, very fast, heavily armed and armored. Great power/weight ratio. You won't be worried about La-7s anymore, that's for sure.

Here's another.  I've been informed by Mitsu that this was the kamikaze paint scheme.  Still looks like a pretty cool paint job, though.

And another.  I believe this was "Defense of the Homeland" or something like that.  I think the armament was four 20mm cannon - 2 in the nose and 1 in each wing - with racks for a pair of 250 pound bombs.

KI-84 is the only plane I'm really waiting for here - not that any new plane addition isn't great. Hell, I want them all :) You have to imagine it will be along soorner rather than later, unless there's a data issue or something.

we'll get it someday, but I'm pretty sure it will be perked.
