next new air craft

IJA Type-1 HAYABUSA

[Karnak]

Something that will handily out turn and out climb the Brewster.  It'll probably generate whines.

Im a little surprised weve never gotten it yet. I think its a fine idea.

Very cool pic that lower one!! Some sort of photoshopped composite or what?

[HighTone]

Nice pics.

One day there will be a flight of Ki-43's headed to some NME action somewhere, I'll be in the lead plane smiling from ear to ear.

I am guessing some sort of Japanese movie the top picture looks computer generated.

12.7mm are bb guns?  Generally that term only refers to 7.5-7.92mm rifle caliber guns in this game.

Werent later models much better armed and faster? Im not overly familiar with the 43 but I do remember it evolved during the war.

Faster, yes, better armored, yes, better armed, not so much.

Ki-43-I had two 7.7mm machine guns or, most commonly, one 7.7mm machine gun and one 12.7mm machine gun or, rarely, two 12.7mm machine guns.
Ki-43-II and Ki-43-III were armed with two 12.7mm machine guns.

A few Ki-43-IIIs had two Ho-5 20mm cannon, but they saw no combat and production never materialized.

hell that beauty may get me out of her sister

[Tank-Ace]

Sorry, but your Ki-43 is superceded by this beauty  .

The Ki-43-III would be fit in the Late War Arena.

The Ki-43-III would be fit in the Late War Arena.

Ideally we'd get a Ki-43-I, with one 7.7mm and one 12.7mm gun, a Ki-43-II and a Ki-43-III.  They vary enough in performance and were significant enough to warrant series representation in AH.
