A "real" option to new plane
« on: November 05, 2008, 04:54:16 PM »
I have always wanted to see the Ki-100 Tony II in AH. This plane was designated to be a Ki-61 with a radial Kawasaki engine. However, due to Allied bombing of Kawasaki plants, a Mitsubishi Ha-112 was used instead. This engine proved to be more powerful that the Kawasaki. Modifications to the fuselage of the Ki-61 compensated for the large radial engine. The Ki-100 had a ceiling of 33,000ft., max cruise of 367 mph, and was armed with two 12.7mm MG's in the nose and a 20mm cannon in each wing. This aircraft would be a great edition to a very limited fleet of Japanese aircraft in AH.

With all the talk of the B-29, this plane would definitely add a nice compliment to the B-29. The Ki-100 was built to stop the B-29. Please take this suggestion seriously for this plane would prove to be a very good addition.
