Because they did not assemble a single engine, not even the Ki-201 the engines was marked for did not even get them, the rare mineral shortage made mass-production unfeasable.
I am a 100% sure that if they had gotten a 100+ engines in time both aircrafts would maybe have flown tough the Ki-201 was in a even less complete state but it was designed and approved so…
just like the Ostwind II and Zerstorer 45 being entirely fictional → Replaced the Koelian 341 (which a mockup was made but apparently the tank isnt real)
T-80U and T-80B having no thermals as standard, However a SINGLE T-80U prototype got thermals = gaijin must give all 80U and B thermals
despite thermals only becoming a thing when T-80UK and BVM became standard
Begleitpanzer 57 having incompatible FCS to fire the HE/VT round yet still gets it
I know this but it doesn’t change that R2Y2 is part of fictional vehicle which wasn’t even planned to be armed with cannons.
Some T-80U had thermals on serial vehicles so not.
Story about single T-80 is about T-80B where single tank had thermal. But it is not similar to R2Y2
In game tank can shoot any round if it was able to be used at gun. Similar why Type 16 got DM23 missing in Japan or Type 74C with HEAT instead of M735 despite Type 74C could shoot only with HEAT.
According to Tester’s information only torpedo was suggested. Mostly with torpedo it would get bombs but at the end of war, the status of planning stopped at torpedo only.
Exactly they used a book that was more fiction than truth to design the R2Y2, no design is not right copy paste is more like it…
Still tough at the very least if the devs choose to implement the J7W2 we know where every part should go, behind the pilot is the fuel then engine behind that there is no doubts. Approx top speed would go from 750 to 780 so gameplay wise not much would change?
Nah doubt it, it was recon plane tough some say a jet version was planned but nobody shows me the proofs so I dunno…
As its slowly taking more shape; I am working with others of our Research Group on a new thread that will cover the 5th F-X Project, X-2 Shinshin and GCAP from the Japanese perspective.
