I always wondered why these IJN and IJA fighters have never been included in the game.

I can't think of a single good reason.

Big +1, I want my bomber intercepter version of the ki61, as well as any new jap plane. I would also like to see the a5m added.

I would also like to see the a5m added.
I would like to see the Claude added as well but sadly, it would only see the light of day in scenarios as it would be a hanger queen in any of the arenas.

True, but to do a proper AVG scenario the A5M and Ki-27 are a necessity (TBH, we should probably have the G3M, as well). Not one A6M fought the Flying Tigers in China, and even the Oscars were much less common.

+1 to the Claude as well
-
I'll +1 any Japanese planes, I've grown quite fond of the KI's and the A6's.

Ki-44!!!! Also the Ki-100 and J2M would be nice. The B6N, B7A, and D4Y would all be quite nice as well. The B7A would actually be pretty good.
-
Id fly an A5M in the Mains. :t
-

B7A would be perked and most would use it not as a dive/torpedo bomber but as a field defense fighter since unloaded with ordnance it was able to out turn a A6M5.

That is why I fly the A6M3 or A6M2 instead if the 5, it is the worst zero of handling. Let the B7A TRY and fight my A6M2 :D
-
The B7A could out turn an A6M??
I don't think this AC should even be considered for inclusion until other higher priority AC are added.

Like your D23 :rolleyes:?

Both fighters were built in significant numbers, saw significant action, and won significant respect from the allies who faced them. These are late war aircrafts that would see significant use. I occasionaly fly the KI-84 and find it impressive.
Was there not a version with 4 20mm cannon? Would such an equipped KI-84 meets the rules to be in the game or was it only a field mod?

iirc there was a J2M variant w/ 4 20's that saw action
there was also one with an upfiring 20mm shoot bombers from below :D

B7A is indeed way, way down the priority list. Yes, below the P-47D-23.
Ki-44 is fairly high up though.

I'd say the Ki-44 and Ki-45 should be added well before the Ki-100 and J2M. The Ki-45 especially fills a significant gap (Japanese heavy fighter, which is currently filled by the 110C is events) and the Ki-44 rounds out the mid-war period quite nicely. And there were slightly more Ki-44s produced than J2Ms and Ki-100s COMBINED. (~1200 vs ~600 and 400, respectively). Only Fewer than 150 J2M2s were built, with theJ2M3 being the representative type.
I'd also like to see:
Additional Ki-43 armament options to allow for the -I and -III
N1K1-J, which I believe was the most representative type. Fewer of the N1K2-Js were produced.
B6N and D4Y to give the Japanese a much more competitive set of carrier bombers for the mid-war period.
Ki-21 as an early-war IJAAF bomber
Ki-49 would provide for a mid-war IJAAF bomber.
And as I think I mentioned earlier in this thread, I wouldn't mind the A5M, Ki-27, and G3M for scenario usage.

Bingo great idea!

Hell, add the last 3 in the MA, I'll use em all the time :D

Yep. Japanese flight tests showed the B7A,with out ordnance, out maneuvered and out performed the A6M5.

definitely a +1 for the Raiden. :aok

I fly this plane sometimes in the VATSIM via FSX. It handles like a dream. I really enjoy flying this fighter.

+1 KI-45. But I want the 37mm cannon one.

Armament packages could do a LOT for expanding out the Japanese plane set. IE, the Ki-61 you could probably squeeze out a couple different models just by adding the different gun packages that were used. And as I said, the Ki-43 you could easily add the -I and -III variants just with armament options.

We have the -III armament. The Ho-5 armed version never made it to combat.

Odd, because ours is identified as the -II.

The armaments for the Ki-43-III and Ki-43-II were the same. Two 12.7mm Ho-103 machine guns.
The Ki-43-III did have significantly better performance than the -II though.

Well I would hope so. :P

We should have gotten the -III, so I could more easily pwn LW aircraft that presume to close within 800yds.

I looked at it three times trying to figure out if I was missing something. At my age you can't be too sure. ;)
-
Does anybody have documentation on the American test flights of the J2M? I've heard our pilots praised its handling, but I'd like to read the actual report.
-
Never had a bad run in Japanese hardware. I really should have flown them more. That attacker aircraft with the 37mm would be a juicy inclusion, actually now i want it more then the two I started the thread with. :D
-
I want to see all of them in Aces High III!!! ;)
-
just put 2 more cannons on the ki84 (with eny of 5) and and add the ki-44
