+1 i like.
-
interesting, it was relative light and powerful but had a poor climb and top speed. Nice plane tho
-
It would be far more successful against a B-29 flown at medium to low altitudes and like real life, would struggle with a high altitude B-29 cruising at 30,000ft. For Japanese interceptors that would stand a better chance against a B-29 at high altitudes, the Raiden would be the better choice.

I posted some more photographs of this actual aircraft here:

Looks like a combination of a 190, La and P-47 in one.
Oh, +1
-
It's very small though, roughly the same size as the Bf109G-2 Trop that's parked nearby.
-
I would very much prefer the J2M3 and J2M5 be added rather than the overrated Ki-100.

How is the Ki-100 overrated? Yes on J2M3 and 5.
-
The Ki 100 is just a Ki 61 with a radial engine.. which was installed because of availability and reliability, not because of performance.
-
I would like to see it added at some point simply because it was a Japanese fighter and it did see action. Its not a "almost was" or a "super ultra rare" fighter. We need more IJN and IJAAF a/c period. That being said im aware of its sometimes hyped performance (it was a bit better than a Ki-61 in a few areas but not by a wide margin).

J2M3! Me want! :D

:aok
Ki-43 and Ki-45 should be added first though.

This is probably true...

Why not both?

But that did inadvertantly result in a significant weight saving and a considerable increase in power (we researched the details recently).

I agree its tiny numbers fielded make it a less logical early inclusion to the planeset, if indeed those are the criteria, however if the Ki-61 gets remodelled at any point it would be an easier way to slip in another Japanese fighter with less work than starting from scratch.
Krusty's a bit late 'paging Krusty, Japanese plane suggested, needs poo-pooing, paging Krusty' :noid

I just want a B-29 interceptor. Not sure how those two would fair in that role.

Not very good.

+1 for either Tony II or Jack
-
Would love to see the Ki-100 in the game.
The J2M3/5 and the Ki-44 as well.
Would be great to be able to have something to counter the 29 in the MA/Special events with any of the above planes.

Ki-45 was ok, but alas, it would be variety.

The problem with the Ki-45 was that it couldn't intercept B-29s when they were doing high altitude (30,00ft+) day light bombing raids. It was when the bombing raids dropped down to as low as 5,000ft did the Nick have better success.

+1 on the Ki-100
+1 on the J2M Raiden
Either one would be a nice addition.
