Title: The Peggy never looked so good!

No, I mean it... The Ki-67 has NEVER looked so good!

One, will the gear clip through the doors like it does on few other planes? Two, will she get her proper firing arcs that lyric pointed out?


I must say though, she looks DAMN HOT! :x

I believe they gave the He111 gondola guns more range than they had because it accounted for the rotational ability of the mount. I suspect that might be what they do for the Ki-67. That is to say, it will cheat but the end result will be the same.

That's the Val, the Kate, the Peggy.

Now we need the Boston, A20G, Ju88, Me163, Tempest, and Ar234B

That's a pretty short list! We're getting there! I say the A20/Boston will take the most time because of the internal spaces. The Ar-234B needs changes (no rear guns, period, but option for a forward pair in gunpod) The 163 and Tempest will probably be the fastest to update based on relative size and geometry of the models.

Can we get an option on the 163 for upward aiming cannon?   :joystick:

I've always felt like the Ar 234 would have made a decent heavy fighter if it had forward guns. I can't count how many times I've had a guns solution but no guns to use it with  :rofl.

I never liked how the 262 flies since they horribly nerfed its AoA capabilities. I find the 234 almost flies better than it now. Probably a more interesting fighter, lol!

How did they nerf the 262?  I fly it here and there and haven't noticed any huge difference from AH2 to AH3.   :huh

 Thank you HTC!   KI-67 was always one of my favorite bombers to fly for porking bases.  She sure is perty.    :grin:

Yep. This was a wish of mine. Looks good. She may be a ball of fire, but she's a fast ball of fire. ;)

There was no change from AH2 to AH3.

it was long long ago, not during the AH2->AH3 transition. The plane used to be able to pull more AoA than it could handle, and since there was no torque it would "mush" through a turn very much like a P-38. This would bleed your E and wasn't the best to keep doing, BUT it allowed you to "mush" into a deflection shot and the overall responsiveness of the elevators felt (subjectively, from hindsight) about twice as good as we have now. Now it feels like it has stall limiter on all the time. Almost like the difference of flying a Ki-84 with combat trim on the elevators or manual trim, but more noticable.

Back in AH2 I thought Hitech found an issue with the 262 wing snapping off under stress and strengthened it a bit.

so havermyr is going to be the only guy appreciating this fine art work.    :aok   :devil 

Can we get the tempest done next?   or a meteor MK III.     :pray

Someone should post side by side pictures of what she looks like now, and what she will be soon. :D

Tempest should have already been done just because it has perks attached to it.

He didn't strengthen them, as much as he dumbed down the inputs so it wouldn't be a risk anymore. Hence the reduced elevator authority. It was the change that killed the 262 for me. It was never worth flying after that.

  :headscratch: Apart from the joystick centring I can't feel any difference in quality or rate with CT on or off.

Ki-67 looks great! Especially the cockpit and flaps. Hadn't noticed those before. Bet I can turn fight that  :banana:
