Don’t think Gaijin is removing them from people who research or own it. Same reason why some folks still have the Koelian, “Panther II” and 10.5.

It exists, it fired, it operated in US trials. It also is the real Panther II as the Panther II you’re thinking of never was finished, in a literal sense. As the turret was never built. At all. Which means it does not fall under an incomplete prototype. As i told someone else.
Yes, that’s the partially prototyped one I was talking about.
The ingame one that was removed was the completely fictional one, that’s the one that’s never coming back.
Glad we both know what an incomplete prototype is. It’s honestly tiring needing to repeat to people what it means to cause people to fail to understand that the components need to exist but were simply not mounted for a plethora of reasons.
Anyway in terms of the R2Y2, as everyone else is stating=R2Y2 V1=should remain all of the components existed and were produced. They were just not mounted as the R2Y1 never got mass-produced for it to occur but was ready for it.
V2 and V3 should not.
What? I just explained why the fictional one is never coming back, and you’re repeating it back to me.
Mate you asked for the Realistic one, the picture is the realistic one.
Also then you stated to someone “Remaking a “Fictional” aircraft”.
The R2Y2 V1 is not fictional. The design was based on a doodle, with engines that were and could be mounted. They didn’t, cause the war ended, it falls under Gaijin’s “incomplete prototypes” basis.
I didn’t ask for anything, I answered the other guy asking for the fictional panther2 back.
Hehhem. You were saying?
What’s that got to do with the panther 2?
One falls under the category of Incomplete prototypes. Aka Lego pieces.
The other falls under-> never-completed prototypes. As the parts were never produced.
It’s vaguely related as people were comparing the R2Y2 to the Panther II.
So nothing to do with what Im talking about then.
SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE SNAIL
There’s a thread on this plane and on how to fix it… it’s almost been 12 years wtfff

Not exactly.
Internally yes, a single .50cal, but two gunpods could be carried (now up to a whopping 3!). If we omit the AIM-9B for the sake of putting it at a reasonable BR, it could make for a 6.0-6.7 jet that trades a lot of firepower for much higher speed and general flight performance than other jets near it.
More specifically, the Fuji T-1B is armed with:

Mate, you claimed that the Ho-Ri would qualify as an incomplete project despite there being only being a wooden mock-up and the gun. It is unknown if any hulls for it were completed and there was no prototype.
That makes it less complete than the Panther II and the Coelian. Heck, even the Tiger 105 could be considered more complete than the Ho-Ri.
Also, the changes between the R2Y1 and R2Y2 wouldn’t have been just minor ones. The R2Y1 had no guns and wasn’t planned to carry any, it most likely had no mounting arrangements for bombs, its wings would most likely have had to be redone due to the weight of the engines, etc.

You just based your information on a picture. Rather than documentation multiple sites written in Japanese have directly stated that several prototypes were being constructed and the parts were simply not put together like Lego pieces in a set.
Come back to me when you have a solid counterargument. You don’t right now.
Wym “based just on a picture”? Which vehicle are we even talking about?
In case of the Ho-Ri they had the wooden mock-up, the gun, an unfinished Chi-Ri (the original Type 5 tank, which the Ho-Ri is a variant of) and an order for a couple of them, which was never fulfilled.
In case of the R2Y2, they had the R2Y1 prototype and one or two (sources differ a lot there) additional unfinished R2Ys.
This is all based on information that is readily available and easily accessible online. If you have access to sources proving that these vehicles got closer to completion, please share them with us (ideally translated if it’s just japanese sources).
However, as it stands, Gaijin themselves consider the R2Y2s to be paper vehicles, throwing them into the same pile as the German trio. So based on Gaijins stance and the information that I can find online the Ho-Ri should be treated the same way, especially the Ho-Ri production variant.

Once again. Come back to me when you have a solid counterargument. You don’t right now. I’ll be waiting when you do. Give you a hint. Japanese archives. Take that into consideration when arguing.
Problem there is that flight performance wise its similar to jets in the 7.X-8.X bracket
