Announcing the Removal of the R2Y2 from Research

[tester188]

@Smin1080p_WT

We have made clear our intention to remove them from research once the Japanese tree was suitably populated with other CAS options for some time.

When will the issue of the missing bombs on the Ki-102 Otsu, a mass-produced Japanese ground-attack aircraft from WW2, be fixed? If the R2Y2 is being removed from the game for the sake of historical accuracy, shouldn’t the historical inaccuracy of the Ki-102 Otsu also be addressed at the same time? The Ki-102 Otsu was introduced to the game earlier than the R2Y2, in Update 1.35 back in 2013, yet the issue of its missing bombs remains unresolved, limiting its functionality as a CAS aircraft.

In World of Warplanes, the Ki-102 Otsu can carry two 250 kg bombs.

In Kantai Collection, the Ki-102 Otsu can carry the Ki-148 missile.

In War Thunder, the Ki-102 Otsu cannot carry a single bomb.

they could add the R2Y1, which is a turbo jet

As i remember R2y2 guns was nerfed and it lost airspawn.
Will 30mm Type 5 cannons which is being used in R2Y2 and others be renerfed?

[Kamikadze_Guy]

No guns.

german mains: B-BUT MUH SPAA

[Grzegames]

It is sad to see that the Japanese CAS line is being stolen. Ki-102 Otsu and Ki-109 are not historical. No other new CAS planes are being added, and now there will be even fewer unique planes.

[かがり]

I hope they get their airspawn they used to have at least as a tribute to those who had the R2Y2 (to all the old peeps out there)

[かがり]

They are applying a cheap copy paste line (Thai) which is barely useful and saying it “fixes japans cas problem”

Yet there is TONs of japanese aircraft and ordinance which have not been introduced for unknown reasons

[Kamikadze_Guy]

you need to update your list
Ki-45 hei got bombs latest update

[Colerend]

So true 😂

[Grzegames]

First of all, it’s not my list, but I have permission to use it. Secondly, adding these bombs doesn’t change anything for now.
If I were making this list, it would be longer. But I can’t rate Br for vehicles.

[Kamikadze_Guy]

What do you mean bombs doesnt change anything?

[Grzegames]

Because they still didn’t turn the Ki-45 into CAS planes. And sorry, “They didn’t change anything” was an exaggeration

[Kamikadze_Guy]

The fact is that its multi purpose aircraft.

[Grzegames]

This is still a drop in the ocean of deficiencies in Japanese CAS aircraft

[Kamikadze_Guy]

Kinda fact but
Majority wants higher tier cas. Since the low tier is not the problem anything that can carry bomb can be used as cas.

[かがり]

well we do have vehicle’s that had weaponry that was never actually used

Example:

[Grzegames]

Unfortunately, I play on Br:

[Kamikadze_Guy]

Yeah same.
Basically grinded whole japanese tree with N1K2J (And ace crew it)

[INXILEGTR]

This is not ok. Stop removing vehicles.
