Very, very nice looking NATEDOG.
I like the increased details, like the wheelwells that are not just skinned on.
It is gorgeous.
I eagerly look forward to killing La-7s in it.
-
Now the big question, will it be perked?
-
I would hope so.
-
It's overmodeled, and only dweebs fly it!
-
awesome ..great work natedogg! <
>!:aok
-
Control cables as well, very nice indeed. :)
-
Honestly, its a beauty. Wasn't really expecting the Hayate anytime soon. Thank you NateDog and Pyro!
-
then i will be the first dweeb:D
-
NICE!!!!! I can hear the cries already -
Beet1e "And all you fly is the uber KI84, WHAAAAAAAAAA"
LOL
Nice work Nate.
-
I doubt it will be perked. If it is perked it'll be cheap and I can fly lots of them.
One of the big reasons I was so looking forward to this fighter is because it is one of the few aircraft left that might alter the combat dynamic of the MA.
The USN CT guys should like it because it should make the F4U usable in late war setups.
We'll see the Ki-84-I-Ko vs F4U-1D in the CT soon after 2.01 is released I bet.
-
Great work Nate! Shows of AH2 nicely.
-
. answered my question..

I figure it'll all come down to modeling. There's such a wide range of data on the Frank, if they modeled the highest performance, I could see a small perking. But if they model the low side, then I don't see it as much more of a threat than the N1k2... but until the plane is modeled and tested we'll never know.

for us noobs to Japanese planes. Is this a contender to the late war runners or more early war goodness?
from what i have read on this board:
it is the second comming.
supposed to make la7 look like sissy plane.
personally i know nothing of it.
BTW <> HTC crew TY for the shots, keep up the great work!!!!!

Saw this and the other big airplane that Superfly is working on on Wednesday morning and both are outstanding works. Nate even showed me the detail in the cockpit that he is able to put into the plane. When finished its going to be amazing. Great fit for the planeset and great work by Natedog.
-
I don't see it. Where is it??:(
-
NATEDOG or Pyro,
The Ki-84 will follow the AH2 specs with no mirroring on the skin and no hard coded details, correct?
I can see a few skins being done for this aircraft by Japanese players once it is released.
-
Correct Karnak; at least that is what Natedog and Superfly both mentioned when I was there the other day. The new aircraft (Ki-84 and bomber in the works) will both be built to the new specifications and from outside appearances will have awesome detail.
-
Whatever data it uses, there's no justification in perking a Ki-84 when a plane like La-7 or a P-51D is free.
ps) but then again.. there's no justification in a Spit14 being perked so high either..

has the "bomber" name been released to the forum yet?
-
Reschke,
Thanks. I thought it was so, but I wanted to be sure. I'll bet there are some skins done for it pretty quick after release due to the fact that a lot of talented Japanese players really wanted it and because skin makers will know that Ki-84 skins will last.
One thing that has occured to me is that people who like eye candy are going to be more inclined to use the Ki-84 simply because it'll look so much better up close than things like the La-7. The performance of the Ki-84 may also make it popular in the MA. Coupled, I can see the Ki-84 being in the top 4 for quite some time.
Kweassa,
Time to update your "New Perk Agenda";)
SunKing,
No, it hasn't.
-
Im not much for japanese planes but this one looks about as badass as one gets!
wtfg Natedog!!!

Nice. :)

Also Natedog and Superfly are getting the basics down for revamping the existing planes to AH2 standards. This one from Natedog and the one from Superfly along with the vehicle (supposedly a tank) are going to be the first ones using the new standards for modeling which will allow us to make some great skins.
As for the bomber in development it hasn't been released but it is the (censured for NonDisclosure Agreement) and I hope you guys like it since it many of you have been clamoring for big bombs to go with it.

Are you refering to the radio wires or did I miss something?

Yes, I misinterpreted them and called them control cables because I couldnt think of the right name for them... :lol

to many american planes as it is. i really wanna see a german bomber.

I'd guess the Ki-84 will be in the top 4 for 1 tour. It seems like a C.205 with better range and a better 6 view. It's good compared to the A6M5 and the Ki-61, but it's not good enough to become a dweeb plane.

I think it would slaughter C.205s if it is modeled at all like I think it will be. Much faster on the deck than the C.205 and turns better.

BEEEEEUTIFUL SKIN !!!
-
A while back on the Beta board I made a suggestion to the skinners to make skins that were.. less then perfect looking.
Skins that showed the wear and tear of war.
THIS is what I was talking about.
Dont get me wrong. You guys that can do skinning do some really rightous work. I only wish I was able to do that
The only downside is theysometimes look too good. That is too perfect
WONDERFUL job Nate.
You got what I ment when I said
"the perfection is in the imperfection"

Heh,
I've flown the La7.
La7 is already a sissy plane
Too easy.
Thats why I dont fly it much
And I agree. La7 should be perked.
If not then the F4u-1c should be unperked

So the Ki-84 was that flying PT boat HiTech was shootin everyone down in?..lol!:D

ROFL! What this game needs is not a new plane type, but a new gameplay model. I know that Mars would agree with me. :)

I thought the planes before looked good, but once they remodel the planes I'm going to have a blast.
7 more days till i'm on Aces High:)
