Ki-27

This is just a picture I stumbled upon related to the Mansyū Ki-79 a trainer craft of the Ki-27 clearing flying for a K dive it seems given the single pilot. I’m assuming what’s being carried is either a 100 or a 250. Maybe even the No. 25 150 kg bomb which I believe

Either way, was just wondering since I stumbled onto this old forum topic from back in 2015 to 2016 about the Ki-27 and its inaccurate stuff which I assume is still somewhat of an issue in-game but not as much.

In the forum one of the older technical mods not being able to confirm if the bomb that was on a Ki-27 on display was accurate or not. But given the Trainer Ki-27, I feel like it was likely it could. Especially when you consider the Japanese did many times strap planes that probably shouldn’t have carried a large bomb onto it ex the Zeros that were rumored to carry 500 kg bombs somehow. Nor able to find what type of 25 kg bomb was used for the Ki-27B variant aside from knowing it was 4 in total.

Anyway just popped into my head out of curiosity. Aside from that hopefully in the future some ex existing countries get insignias in games like Manchuria/Manchukuo.

and ki 27 have 1 × 12.7 mm (0.5 in) [Ho-103 machine gun] and 1 × 7.7 mm (0.303 in) machine gun on later models (from wikipedia)

I doubt it Wikipedia isn’t exactly the mot reliable source so take it with a bag of salt.
