Pick one variant of an existing unit you would like to see added

[Tank-Ace]

I am curious about what people want, so I am not really after limiting the choices.


As far as the Shokaku, I am fine counting it as a unit, but Arlo and I just disagree on whether or not it is a variant.

Problem is that you might be getting a weighted sample here. If things have been up longer, they'll have had more time to draw attention and +1's. And maybe the first poster didn't think of the Ju-88P untill after they had already posted, or maybe they didn't think of the shokaku.

Posting a list of everything listed thus far, and asking people to choose their favorite (or post another variant not on the list) is not limiting the choices. Its asking for a sort of semi-official count after people have had more time to think about what they want.

Thing is Karnak, if this is a 'how to economically model more 'units' into the game' concept, something like the Kawasaki Ki-100 I-Otsu is already a problem on two counts: first the fuselage is different as it had a cut down rear compared to the 61 so you couldn't even reuse the tail really (and the front half is radically different already (and the belly)). Secondly, yes you could reuse the wings and landing gear and surfaces but the Ki-61 AH model looks well outdated compared to the other aircraft and probably needs a remodel anyway, so you'd have to redo that in the first place. Or was this the idea, to look for possible additions when an aircraft (say) is renewed?

I think it is more along the lines of this.


What surprises me is no one has mentioned a Yak yet, though I haven't followed too closely after my last post and I don't recall seeing Yak prior....

For an AH1 model it would have to be for when it was brought up to AH2 standards, for a model that is already at AH2 standard it would just be a cheap model to add.

Obviously something like a Mosquito Mk II, which can be visually identical to a Mosquito Mk VI, would be much easier to add than the Ki-100 which shares only the wings and tail with the Ki-61.  I consider the Ki-100 to be marginal in terms of being a variant, though if the Ki-61-II is added then the Ki-100 suddenly only needs a new nose.

Ki-84-I-Otsu: +1 


Followed close by the Ki-100 and G4M3. (or heck the G4M2)

Ki-100 wins my vote, Late war and a very nice design too, and Japanese!

i LOVE YOU.

i vote Ki-100 I-Otsu too! Ho-5 20mm cannons on the nose have an enough punch for enemy aircrafts with 400 rounds.

and Ki-43-III, Ki-44-II, Ki-84-I-Otsu, J2M3 or 5.

LOL Great for who?  The Zero pilots?

Great for me.   I've been wanting to do some scouting with it for a while.   Sadly, it's a new plane altogether, and not a variant of something we have.
