Is that the Ki-148? That is in game? Or the ki-147?
Unlike ki147 and 148, Igo-1-c does not have propulsion, so I don’t think it has a ki number.
Wasn’t it acoustically guided?
The weapon was to be guided to enemy ships by its own sensors detecting shock waves from ship’s gun shots.-wikipediia
Anyone know what these missiles are being fired from the Kikka? I seen this video many times, but always wondered if Japan had early AAM that were IR or related to it.
Ruhrstahl X-4
Japan had the Funryu project but as far as I’m aware only the AShM and SAM variants were tested, not Air-to-Air
(Funryu 2 and 4(?) in top right corner)
Could somebody help me identify the aircraft? Its got some unique liveries especially with that tail symbol. I saw it on a thread on the internet about Japanese planes in Thailand during WW2.
Not so sure where in Thailand though and even if its in Thailand at all but the poster seemed geniune.
Ki-32
With water cooled - Ki-32
The little plane on next photo - Ki-27
The plane what similar to Ki-32 but with radial engine - Ki-30
But I am bad at markings
Just found out about this interesting ship today.
This is the JDS Wakaba which was the ex IJN Nashi (itself a Tachibana sub-class of the Mutsu class Destroyer Escorts) that was built in 1945 - was sunk by the end of the war, then refloated and given new life for JMSDF service (mostly as a test bed for weapons and radar).
There is an amazing proposal for this on the old forums that I wish could just be imported here: JMSDF JDS Wakaba (DE-261), modification 1963 : "The Missing Link" - Passed for Consideration - War Thunder - Official Forum
What caught my eye on this proposal though is the Experimental Type 54 Torpedo Model 3 (G-4) / 試製54式魚雷3型 (G-4) which is an experimental acoustically-guided torpedo via twin launch tubes that were soon installed on JMSDF Ayanami & Akizuki class destroyers as well as its submarines.
This was also equipped with massive early radars & sonars.
Though her armament is limited, she has some very unique armaments and a very unique history which is very surprising. Skynea History has a video about the ship: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5a6AuNgJvbQ
So, AAM-3 is still breathing copium from AIM-9M.
Wdym?
its about Ki variants
Iskander and radar stations, hope for separate launch vehicles?
They said in the post specifically that the AAM-4 would be coming to the game- for balance sake I pray it isn’t going to be it’s full capacity because otherwise it’ll outclass most everything aside from the MICA and PL-12
