source? And to which a/c does it refer?
ETA: I have found a source that mentions the possibility of 2 x 500kg for the v6 prototype linked from the [Horten229.org website “Out in the Open”], but notes that there was not room for all the weapons mentioned:
(Horten 229, Ho 229, Horten229.org | Horten229.org):
(sorry for the funny links - that’s just how they worked out!)

Bwo, someone filed an undocumented bug report and the devs nerfed Ki-43-III Otsu’s engine.
As for OP’s concerns: skill issue
-
They nerfed all the Japanese engines about a year ago.
-
Not a skill issue, a dev issue. Don’t eat your own…

That nerf was accurate, the Ki-43-III never mounted the Ha-112 1500hp engine. That was a proposed model as the Ki-43-IV, which AFAIK was never built.
The real problem with that plane is that they didn’t move it down after taking 400hp away.
I’m writing skill issue because I’m doing perfectly fine with the Horten, whether against props or sabres/migs. Yes, in terms of engine performance the Horten is at a big disadvantage, but you still have other performance metrics to back you up, letting you fight back.
The nerf may have been accurate, but the bug report was still not backed up with any documentation, as far as I can remember. It was backed up with “trust me bro, there’s a pattern in the names”
No, that’s precisely how the IJAAF designation scheme was. An engine change is a very big change and has to be indicated with a new major variant (as in, Ki-43-IV) while subvariants (Ko, Otsu, Hei, Tei) are for more minor changes like armament.
Defending two of the most handholding, meta and arguably a little OP 8.0 aircraft is crazy.
All I’m asking is to not interpolate facts from other facts. You’re acting like there were never any exceptions in history, or changes to standards over time. Look at the changes in German naming conventions for aircraft.
Just give a source indicating which engine the plane had, that is all. But nobody has anything concrete, just an untrustworthy secondary source, and people on the internet trusting their pattern recognition abilities too much.
Not defending the 8.0s, I’m saying that people can do better in the Horten.
While that’s true, AFAIK the source for the Ki-43-III Otsu having a 1500hp engine to begin with is Francillion’s book, which is full of errors and is widely regarded as a pretty bad source.
That book itself doesn’t actually claim 1500hp either, it claims it used the Ha-112 but not its power output:
Which would line up perfectly with the Ha-115-II (that it now has in-game) that added water injection to greatly extend WEP time when compared to earlier Ki-43s.
I believe that’s just a simple typo and everything except the engine name itself says that’s a Ha-115, not the more powerful 112.

That is exactly what I referred to by “untrustworthy secondary source”. These numbers do make sense (that it isn’t what it’s named).
Oh, ok. I thought you were saying that the change to the Ha-115 and subsequent engine nerf was what came from an untrustworthy source? Bit of a miscommunication there.
I can only think that you have played ho229 a few times, faced a few players who are not familiar with F86 or mig15 and won, it is your luck rather than your skill, so you come to speak. Because you don’t seem to know what ho229 will drop speed, how long it takes to recover speed, and how to deal with F86/mig15 LOOP, if you can’t answer these three questions, please don’t deceive and mislead other people who have not played ho229, otherwise they will only regret after choosing to unlock ho229, thank you. Even though I’ve been playing ho229 for years, I didn’t feel like I could fight back against the F86 and mig15, on the contrary, what you said was so outrageous that I couldn’t believe it. Let me tell you something, when an F86 or mig15 only attacks you, there is no one to help you, most of the time you will only end up destroyed. So please prove that your statement is correct.
I haven’t paid attention to this post in a long time because I don’t think gaijin is going to correct their deliberate weakening, like I did when I answered the guy who only asked me to submit a bug report. You know, all he has to do to give advice is talk. However, any player who has played the ho229 should be able to feel the dive situation, the wing acceleration is slower than the ordinary other fighters of the same period, this situation how to submit an error report? Who accelerates faster in a real dive? Who has less resistance? Why does acceleration slow down dramatically or even stop, even in a near-vertical dive with horizontal motion? These are not my personal feelings ho229 is very slow, but in the game ho229 acceleration is really slow, diving situation is also far lower than the same level of jet fighters or propeller fighters, with the eye can see P51 Spitfire F2G and other jet fighters can easily dive quickly to reach the top speed. But the propeller fighter’s low speed segment is very flexible, so how do you submit a report? The purpose of my post is just to try to let gaijin pay attention to this issue and balance this issue. Of course, I also gave up, because I tried to take a screenshot in the test flight mode and reported it, but it didn’t work. It was just unfriendly to other people who like ho229.
Of course, I still welcome other friends who have played ho229 to discuss the current situation of ho229 games, as long as it is objective and true.
the 229 is a real plane its a prototype not a fake plane
Its not the 229 was never armed and has the wrong engines the plane is fake
