The "what-if" planes (as I call them) are the ONE thing which has NOT been done by AH's competition.  It's something new, a niche for AH.

If we get a Bearcat does that mean we could get a Kikka or a Shinden too?

Just curious is all.

Or at the very least the A7M2, of which there were production aircraft.

Personally, at this point I'd like to see more non-perk aircraft because I find that I cannot enjoy using them at their current cost (except the F4U-1C, which I could enjoy as far as the price goes, just not as far as the aircraft goes).

Just fly the La-7 Zig.  Pretty similar aircraft.

According to one book: "Great Book of WWII Airplanes", only 8 prototypes were created before serious material shortages, allied bombing and a destructive earthquake prevented more from being completed.

Of course I'm not saying we should NOT get the A7M2 (looks very nice), just I'd like to know what source you are using Karnak. Also, what do you think about the J2M3 Raiden? 470 models were built, but do you think it would be deemed a "perk" plane because of it's speed and climb (but short duration..)?

I'm interested in seeing more "never before modelled" Japanese planes.

The jack would be a great plane to add.  "Raiden"

SW,

I have used various sources (I'm at work so I don't have my books available) but all of the list from 1 to 7 production A7M2's in addition to the prototypes.  As far as I know the A7M2 never saw combat.

As far as the J2M3 goes, I think it should be added but I don't think it should be a perk.  It isn't that fast and it doesn't climb that well.  The only Japanese plane that had production airframes that would be a perk is the A7M2.  The Ki84 might qualify as a perk, but maybe not as well.
