Here’s something I made a while ago. (It’s not complete)
I just realized I posted this in here already some time ago 😭
T-4 is an unarmed trainer.
That’s why we need XT-4!
Back to the list, here is some other a little bit weird (as for me) things:
- Here is G6M in bomber line but this plane missing any bomb load, it was used as gunner plane for covering bombers
- Ki-78 was plane for researchs only and no weapon wasn’t even planned
- Ki-15 (both). Not sure but according to JP wiki it was missing bombload but placed in bomber line here. Too lazy to check books tbh
- S1A is attacker when it was 100% interceptor. Yeah it had 2 250kg bombs but it is more closer to Ki-83
- P1Y2 is attacker but if I don’t mistake it is just P1Y1 with another engines (but I can be wrong here)
Maybe I missed also something
Very cool list, but as you alluded to, there’s quite a few missing :)
In no particular order, just the ones I’d like to see:
Ki-61-I Tei Kai
Ki-61-III
Ki-100-I Otsu
A6M3 Model 32 w/ 30mm wing guns
A6M3 Model 32 w/ Type 99-2s
Ki-44-II Ko
Ki-44-III
Later J2M models such as J2M3 Ko with 4x Type 99-2s
Late Ki-43-II
XT-2
That one Ki-27 with one of the 7.7s swapped out for a Ho-103, not entirely sure it was real but it’s possible (copium)
Ki-43-IV would be here if it was made, but I don’t think they ever even tried.
Also these two are the same plane:
AFAIK the one in-game is wrong and should be renamed “Ki-61-II Ko Kai” since it has the ‘split’ armament, and a new one added with the existing name (Otsu Kai) with 4x Ho-5s
A7M3-J Kai displayed at Hakkeijima Sea Paradise, Yokohama in 2019.
This’ll be mighty spicy to add (gaijin pls add thank youuuuuu)
to this day I find it interesting/odd that the T-4 is an unarmed aircaft considering the story of other training planes from the JASDF, is pretty cool to look at it though and I hope to get a 1/144 model of a T-4 one of these days
isnt that a mockup?
I dont think so actually
Yes, it’s a 1:1 scale, non-functional replica.
Unfortunately it’s just a replica, but I believe the A7M3 was partially built. Still very cool.
-
Ki-15 has only a machine gun for self-defense, Ki-78 is unarmed, J4M1 was not built, Ki-94-I and Ki-84N were not built either. G8N2 and 3 were not built, G7M was not built either, Tenga is a total fiction. The Ki-87-II is just a project
-
Additionally, the photo of the Ki-116 is fiction. There are no photos of the Ki-116 aircraft.
-
Just for information, the Mitsubishi Ki-67-I AEW aircraft is already in the game. At the end of the war, the Japanese army began to introduce TaKi 1 radars to equip many aircraft. For example, the Ki-49 or the Ki-67

Yes, I know I’m nitpicking.
Funnily enough the G8N2 is in the game files.
o mai gotto…
That’s not even all of them
we still have replica’s/mockup’s including kitbashed/fictional vehicles (LOOKING AT YOU OSTWIND II AND ZERSTORER 45) in the game so maybe the A7M3-J Kai could be an event or BP vehicle something new but also very unique since if i recall it was intended to be a turbo jet
I thought the Ki-43-II never got Ko/Otsu/Hei models since those almost always meant a change in armament. Are these to differentiate the revisions it got?
as an aside: the american captured Ki-43-II is the latest Ki-43-II in the game, the japanese one is an earlier model. However both have the same performance.
