Sorry to bust your wet dream, but only a few prototypes of the A7M2 were made and 1 production craft. :)

Its a complete travesty, to me anyway, that the Ki-84 isn't modelled in AH but the Ta-152 is.

I have to agree there Diablo :(  and the fact we haven't seen a J2M3 Raiden either in AH is dissapointing.  For the love of Cod I hope HT puts in some more Japanese planes on the new sim.

not if the 190s had all the loadouts. Theres a 6x20mm loadout on 190a8's and of course the mk103 underwing gondalas are a possibility.

Also we have yet to see the BK 5 50mm or PAK 75mm guns that were mounted to some LW planes like the me262 and me410/110.

Dont count out the LW planes.

Hazed, I don't think the MK103s on the Fw190As were ever operational. I've seen a few pics of 190s on the ground with them attached, but I don't recall if they ever were actually used.

 Or maybe they were? Can anyone verify?

ps) If they are ever introudced in the game, then maybe we'd see a perked ordnance for the first time ;)

A7M3 'Reppu'  
Type: fighter, shipboard aircraft Prototype or limited production Nationality: Japan
Land-based version of the Sam, without the foldable wings and simplified compared to the A7M3-J, leaving out the supercharger, an accessory that Japan had difficulty to develop properly. It was directly derived from the carrier-based A7M2 without many changes and was a counter insurance had the A7M3-J failed. None was completed, since the first flight was planned for December of 1945
Built by Nakajima Kikoki Kabushiki Kaisha
Other designation(s): Model 23
Upper: A7M 'Reppu'
 
Various
Crew: 1
Span: 14.00 meters
Length: 11.00 meters
Height: 4.28 meters
Wing surface: 30.90 sq m.
Wing load: 163 kg/sq m
Weight empty: 3 392 kg
Weight loaded: 5 040 kg

Arlo, this was a drawing board prototype, none were ever made.  You can look at that painting all you want, mostly because you are drunk, and you will never see the 2 Type 99's buried in the nose.  GO ahead...keep looking...:D

Relax, Diab ....

This ain't no argument `bout what guns that plane that never really made it into production had. I'm just commenting on those who posted in the thread about all the guns they "saw" in the picture versus all the ones I don't see in the same picture. If I thought it would produce this much angst ... I probably woulda posted about it alot sooner. ;)
