Give us hints...
- N1K1...variants of N1K2-J.
- J2M3...famous excellent intercepter.
- G4M...famous japanese bomber.
- H8K2...excellent flying-boat/bomber.
If you need reference, I and busa or other Japanese guys will provide a lot of data. :)
and, about IJAAF.
Ki-100 - excellent dogfighter.
Ki-43 - famous IJAAF main fighter.
Ki-44 - good intercepter witj cute form. :D
HTC, I hope you guys will give us more Japanese planes ASAP!!! :rolleyes:
Cheers.

D4Y Suisei "JUDY"

B7A Ryusei "GRACE"
(http://www.ares.cz/hobby/hasegawa/picture/jt49.jpg)
Would be nice to have also.
-
light the blue touch paper and stand well back..
i'm all for more japaneasy stuff
-
Ah Mitsu, you forgot the Betty! Desperate need there for early war Pacific setups.
(edit)
Never mind. lol
Eyesight going I think. I read his post 3 times and didnt see it.
-
StarOfAfrica2,
No he didn't.
"- G4M...famous japanese bomber." is the Betty.
-
I guess I shall keep my midgets in a leash and see what Pyro does ,last time I threatened him with my cannibalistic munchkins you got the Ki-84 .
I see what I can do.
-
Did I miss somthing?
-
Pyro said he was going to work on the Niki's flight model and Mistu (and others) are hoping to get another new Japanese plane.
I vote for the J2M, Ki43 and G4M.
-
Ahhh, swanky.
-
Just out of curiosity, what's subject for change if the N1K2-J gets a new FM? Speed? Climb? Turn? Low-speed characterstics?? Ability to 'hang-on-the-props'?
-
Ki-100 this ubiquetous model should definitely be represented.

Just as my little hope, having a B7A2 Ryusei-Kai is a dream:)
Great dive/torpedo bomber with #8 bomb (800kg) load, "graceful" inverted gull wings and, ah, 2x20mm cannons. Then I will not have to fly a val any more:D
-
grrrrrr that danged oleg. thanks for posting the shots mitsu. yup ryusei, then maybe we could do damage in the ct during PAC set ups
does ryusei mean dragon spirit?
-
Judy Judy judy.

BTW I hope to see J2M3 Raiden, personally.
-
Mitsu-sama!!!
What happened to Aero's gunsights??
I really want to use those high quality gunsights on my planes (w) :D ..
-
Kweassa-sama,
He's having a technical problem in RAF Type1mk2 gunsight.
Wait till he solves the issue.
Thanks.

The Ki-100 was hardly ubiquitous... it was a re-engined Ki-61. Not more than a few hundred were made if I recall correctly.

You are correct on all counts.

Storch:
Ryu-Sei = Shooting Star
btw Suisei (Judy) = Comet
Ah, my ID really embarrassed myself ^^;

just for your interest...
from Aircraft of the World (http://www.csd.uwo.ca/~pettypi/elevon/baugher_other/)
A total of 396 Ki-100s were built, including 275 Ki-61-II conversions, 118 Ki-100-Ib production aircraft built from scratch, and three Ki-100-II prototypes.
while the N1K2-J...
from Aircraft of the World (http://www.csd.uwo.ca/~pettypi/elevon/baugher_other/)
Only 415 production examples of the outstanding N1K2-J fighter were built, owing primarily to construction snags and delays resulting from the continuous B-29 raids on the Japanese homeland in the last year of the war.
while the Ki-84...
from Aircraft of the World (http://www.csd.uwo.ca/~pettypi/elevon/baugher_other/)
Total production of the Hayate by all factories was 3514, including prototypes and service trials aircraft.

Thankyou for the clarification Ryusei

The KI-100's performance was virtually similar to the KI-61 KAI we have. Had a little bit better climb but wasn't as fast. Armament was the same.
IMHO would would get more useage out of the JUDY & GRACE carrier bombers or the TOJO, JACK or even the OSCAR fighters.
-
I vote for the J2M, Ki43 and G4M.
Id like to see the Ki 44.
then maybe we could do damage in the ct during PAC set ups
We already can. I just figured out the Ki 84 kicks ass. Ive totaly changed my mind about her after the last few days.

Well, this has no bearing on the game (it is after all an axis model) but in RL it was reported to turn much better than the Ki61. while the speeds were close (the Ki100 had the 1500 hp Ha112 radial as opposed to the Ki61's 1175hp Ha40 inline) the Ki100 had a much better climb rate than the Ki61. Perhaps some of us feel that they were sufficiently different to merit representation in the game, not that I suspect we ever will get it.
we could use more Japanese planes of all types. certainly Japan fielded some fine aircraft and they would add greater depth to the game.

I haven't flown it much I can't see the gauges very well and the visibilty is terrible.
-
I dont have any issues with visibility. I cant read the gauges either. I hated the thing at first and could never get a handle on it. I got a wild hair the other night and just felt like flying her. For what ever reason I got a better feel for it. Its really a great ride.

Agree with you there 110% Storchie.
The Japanese plane set has the biggest holes of any in the game IMHO and should have TOP PRIORITY for any new planes made.

NOW THIS IS HOW THE NIK WILL LOOK LIKE IN AH2...

Note that the NIK has the same type flaps as ki-84
-
that type of paint hurts your glide ratio & acceleration much more than you would expect
-
You get used to the Ki84 gauges quickly. The only two you really need to watch in it are the alt and speed gauges. The forward framing stinks, and it can be tricky taking snapshots. Rear view is excellent though, and the plane has truly superb performance. Get used to the gauges, start roping newbs, and you're golden. :)

Aside from the typcial rubish...
I would agree about the Ki-61/Ki-100 being different enough to justify the modeling. But the Ki-100 wasn't available until 1945... it's essentailly a late war fighter with Mid war performance.
In some of my crappy references, the Ki-100 A1 has a worse climb time to 5000 meters than the Ki-61-1b (and I have no idea how accurate these designations are). I don't know how they would relate to the Ki-61 we have (though I wouldn't be surprised if they had better low alt climb).
I guess what I'm saying is that, especially for events and the CT, the Ki-100 won't really add much, since the Ki-84 and N1k2 will generally be available whenever the Ki-100 is, and they perform. From what I can tell from Gunston and other mediocre references, it might have an edge in service ceiling (and maybe high alt performance?). That might be worth something in a "Defense of the Home Islands" type of scenario.
With that said, I think that the J2M, A6M3 and Ki-43 would be a bit more usefull.
And of course... JUDY JUDY JUDY

Now it really IS over-modelled. To attain that level of kit building and resort to dry-brushing technique for weathering is just sad. It's a damn fine model though, short of the the dry-brushing.

Gimme the Ki-100 for Mitsudog.
It has 500 20mm shells too. It's for HO dweeb!.
