Ki-94II wrong ammo number

[s9723 508]

Both ho-155 and ho-5 cannon have 150 round per gun in WT.

However, some sources suggest that there are 200/100round for each ho-5/ho-155.

Another source mentions 100/200 ammo number.

This article is written by 長谷川龍雄, the chief designer of ki94-II.

Looking at wing plan of Ki-94II, the spaces for 30mm and 20mm belt have similar size. Since 30mm shell is significantly bigger than 20mm shell, ammo number of 30mm should be less. This picture is from "The Xplanes of Imperial Japanese Army and Navy 1924-45"

Hello,

 

One item about wing, you do not have the vertical height of the ammo box (wings taper).

A taller ammo box will have more layers of ammo.

Can find a front view of wing?

 

In review

20mm Ho-5 = 200 rounds

30mm Ho-155 = 100?

Yes.

 

I can not find a front view of wing, though.

ホ一五五 = ho-155       一00 = 100 round

ホ五 = ho-5.                 二00 = 200 round

完璧！

• 一 ichi. one.
• 二 ni. two.
• 三 san. three.
• 四 shi (yon) four.
• 五 go. five.
• 六 roku. six.
• 七 shichi. seven.
• 八 hachi. eight.

• 九 kyuu nine

• 十 juu ten

 

Right side I see (キ 九十四), Ki-94 (although surprised the 十 used in this way, maybe not notice, or maybe in other cases omit the tens and hundreds)

 

Dated juukyuu rokugatsu nijuusan (19-6-23)

 

The 5th column / line is about the armament, the others are other specs of aircraft?
