This AC is long overdue in AH and would be competitive.
-
The B29s over Japan FSO that is running right now could certainly use the J2M, and I have +1'd this in the past.
I'd certainly fly it if it were there.
That said, I still think the biggest hole in the Japanese planeset is named Judy.
-
Id like to see the Gekko (J1N1) also at some point.....I'm a sucker for twin engines :D
Granted there's more in the Japanese set that deserve to be in front of it.....expecially the J2M and Judy
-
+1 for the J2M
And some additions to the Ki-61 line up would be awesome as well. And bring out the Ki-100 please :cheers:

Add the KI-44 to that and you'll have a damn good jap plane set.

+1. We need it

:aok How many +'s can I contribute?

The J2M, I like it. :aok

The last FSO was in dire need of the plane designed for the defense of Japan from B-29's.
The B-29s had a cap of 20k and once they've dropped no Ki or N1K is going to see anything but their vapor trails...
The 20k cap was because nothing we have can compete higher or because they don't want FSO to drag on?
Although the J2M may not have been terribly effective at its intended design, with a great deal due to inexperienced pilots and resource shortages from Allied bombing, we aren't rehashing out the War itself, we are replaying scenarios with entirely and potentially different outcomes.
Again please add the J2M and its variants, I believe this would be my favorite ride if it ever makes it into the arena.
:salute

Yeah, + 1.
Ive always wondered, were the Japanese EVER able to make high quality fuel during the war for their aircraft or was this something that plagued them later in the war. Like many others the J2M was a different aircraft with American fuel in it for post war testing. 30 to 40 mph is very significant.

Sir, I wouldn't argue with the desire to have more planes to play with. I found the aircraft available to us Japanese pilots to be much more effective than you might think. The first one I got 3 passes on the B29's and last week I got 2 passes on them. Not suicidal tail chases, passes. Before this series started there was some grumbling about the impossible job the Japanese would have, and I have found that not to be the case. I think my squadmates would agree with me. Granted, if the B29's had come in at 30k there would have been a different outcome and only one pass would have been possible. This has been a great and fun event. :salute

So, you guys had no problem intercepting the B-29s? I believe it after reading the logs. After the interjections from a few of the normal Axis flyers to introduce restrictions to allow for the insufficient IJN/IJA plane set, it really wasn't needed.
From Wikipedia so I cannot guarantee accuracy, but the J2M would clearly be competitive in the MA and fill a need for scenarios.

Does cognac age increase its desirability?
I have a ~30 yr old bottle of Courvoisier in Waterford crystal. 750mL i believe.
One day I'm going to sell it or trade it for the J2M? :O

Your fancy numbers just confuse me boss, found this instead.

Beautiful climb rate. Would give the K4 a hard time in a vertical fight + a niki's fire power
-
No armor for the pilot or fuel from the pdf file. Magic BB city.

Again I have to ask where these performance numbers came from.
You cant fill it with Yank fighter fuel and put it in Aces High.

Looks like US calculated numbers from during WWII. Top speeds I usually see for the J2M is in the 378-386mph range, depending on the version. The climb is also not 4600fpm.
Some versions may have armor, I don't recall.

There was at least armored glass for the pilot:

EDIT/...and also 8mm armour plate behind the pilot aswell./EDIT

I agree here completely - if the B29s in this past FSO had gone up to 30K, the japanese defense would have been 1 pass and gone with no chance at all to catch up. 20K at least made it a battle.
My only regret was not trying the B29 NOE strike.

No, it does not.
And, how much do you want for it?
boo

I agree with mthrockmor ...no not at all....and should you feel the need to get rid of it, let me know....Id gladly pay you for the waterford crystal container.....cognac included of course...Ill take care of empting it for you, got to keep that fishing arm of yours healthy, wouldnt want u to strain it pouring it out.......See im a giver.... What are friends for :D :aok
mthrockmor.....ill invite ya over to help empty it....might be to heavy for me :lol
-
I've been keeping it for posterity or something like that :lol
Gf's dad offered me $150 a couple of years ago, I laughed for quite some time.
A couple of bar owners have asked me which one it is, all I know is what it looks like (sort of; it's wrapped in bubble and in a box these days), it has a felt cover over the stopper and no blemishes. Those bar owners said depending, $500 to $2000, they'd have to see it...
I don't know if I've ever had Courvoisier, isn't cognac kinda harsh like scotch? Hard liquor for sipping was never my thing.
