I want the Ki-202

It can be added or can be not. Anyway we has Ar 234 or Canberra with no guns

Bad comparisons since like i iterated in the first post the Ki-115 & Kikka (Early) only has 1 bomb drop while the Ar-234 B-2 has 3 bomb drops (3x 500kg or 1x 1000kg and 2x 250kg bombs), Back in the day the Ar-234 B-2 can take out a base no problems at all while a single 800kg cannot even destroy a base in one go you need at least two 800kg bombs to take out a base. Canberra Mk.2 is an even worse comparison to the Ki-115 & Kikka (Early) since the Canberra is a dedicated bomber that has no problem taking out bases and in this patch was made even stronger by the fact it can carry 2 4000lbs bombs

I am not sure about this plane. So modern equipment in so bad performance platform. With it’s speed it is 1.0 BR but weapon is as minimum from 6.0. I doubt that it will be added

The Israeli Spitfire Mk.IXc would like a word with you in regards to that. The FD-25 Defender is a COIN/Ground Attack aircraft not a fighter so performance on it’s own let alone the main metric should not determine it’s BR placement. Finally speed isn’t everything in COIN/Ground Attack, there is other factors in play

Why it is on 10.0? FS-T-2 Kai is the whole copy of F-1 because it was F-1 prototype.

It can still be added as a Event or Squadron vehicle (leaning towards the latter), the only reason why the FS-T2 Kai seems to be a copy of the F-1 is because the F-1 ingame is of the Early Configuration. The F-1’s in the Later Configurations cannot be added since it there are two options; not give the F-1 flares but either make it be too OP or completely useless or give the F-1 flares but at the cost of angering the Historical Accuracy Purists

In terms of other Japanese aircraft that can be added as “Strike” aircraft i can’t really think of anything else. Maybe the P1Y1c (P1Y1 mod.11 Hei) and P1Y2-S but that may be stretching it. The Fuji MT-X could be another option that isn’t a great option either since it was only existed as a mockup. Finally there are the Ki-79b (Ki-79 Otsu) and B5M though lower tiers aren’t really lacking in CAS options. The A6M7 can be split into a couple of variants too as well as adding in the A6M8 and re-classifying the already existing A6M5 Hei & A6M6c into “Strike” Aircraft

Not sure where but G8N1 seem like having a bug where the wing structure isn’t strong enough. 1 hit at the wing will make the whole wing become metal structure and lose control, can somebody send a bug report of this issues?

This could be good addition to cas line maybe?

it can use bombs like arado

It couldn’t

ok explain it then.

R2Y1 was created as recon plane and in fact none weapon was tested on it

That was a proposal to turn it into a fast attack bomber, the R2Y1 was intended as a fast recon plane.

Still, I see no issue with adding the R2Y1 with the 800kg bomb considering we have “fake” stuff like the XP-50, Kronshtadt and many others in-game.

yes agree

So it turns out that the mysterious plane, which is so complicated to create that it was not ready for the dev, might be… a reskinned harrier?

Model should be slightly different.

Better than nothing I guess. AV-8, A-7 and F-16/Gripen would be a very pleasant surprises as a continuation of attacker line.

Going by the latest datamine, seems like the AV-8S might be an event as it’s shown as non-researchable unless that’s just temporary?

Wrong thread, but in addition to the AV-8S, there are also the ff:

  • Ground vehicle:
    ICV (CTWV RCV without the mast, unmanned turret, same chassis)

  • Naval vessel:
    JDS Murasame (Completely new vehicle, but various systems such as guns already in-game)

Leak suggested a completely different naval vessel:
JDS Yubetsu (but no sign in the datamine)

So as far as we know, expected vehicles for Japan this patch are not completely copy and paste.
