The problem is that they weren’t even assembled, how can this be considered some kind of engine? Considering that I think there are not many documents on this topic
The same applies to 201, this cannot even be considered a prototype or mock-up. Just another military project that was closed at the end of the war
bruh
Heh, on an airplane and not just on a stand. Germany during the 3rd Reich in this case has a lot of such projects)
You questioned whether or not the engines were made, not whether there was a plane for them to be mounted on.
May I again point you to Gaijin’s official policy
What constitutes an (unfinished) prototype:
- Vehicle-specific parts (i.e. guns, powerplants, etc.) were built
I’m sure there are a lot of German projects that are in the same boat (plane) as this one too.
Yes, but you need a source where they come from, preferably citing a museum or some kind of national archive
Nobody follows these rules, not even the company Gaijin. Just remembering the same Flakpanzer 341, which had a completely made hull and turret mockup
Well, Flakpanzer 341 was removed from the tree. Though people still have arguments over whether or not its replacement actually existed so bruh I guess.
And before you point out the Ho-Ri Production, Gaijin still (wrongfully) insists it was built in some way so by their metric it follows their rules.
And the F-16AJ was them specifically breaking their rules for an exception.
Don’t get me wrong, I like your proposal from a historical point of view, but these sources are needed more by the company than by me, in the form of direct links to museums or personal archives for the “correct” implementation of technology in the game
As I remember, one of the Hori was made in metal, and the second in the form of collapsible parts. So…
Exceptions will always be exceptions, in essence this does not change anything except a negative attitude towards gaijin, and its whining about how players do not bring money into a free game because of such decisions
This link is to the museum
Eh, everything I’ve seen states the Ho-Ri production never existed, only maybe the prototype, which it seems both of your examples would be.
Well it gave Japan the best F-16 dogfighter which made their top tier somewhat competitive for a time. Therefore making Japan a more attractive tree to grind and increasing the sales of the F-4EJ ADTW.
In general, I did not mean the museum’s website, but rather the museum, where there is possible documentation on this matter. By type: International Christian University - Mitaka, where parts of these engines were found, and so on
now I understand what you mean, but I don’t live in Japan, so I can’t go to the appropriate museum and ask. I can go and see where the Graf Zeppelin stood, but I can’t go to see where the Ki-201 was supposed to be built
Well, that’s why I say that the gaijin needs to be told specifically where to go or where to look for it, they probably have employees from Japan)
DMM could maybe help
The AJ isn’t fake, it just has the wrong paint job. Its a really bad argument for adding a plane that never flew to the game. I really hope they replace the stupid thing with the Thai F-16 though, that way people can stop making this bad argument.
LOL, got proof that its not fake besides the fact that it was a proposed deal
It’s an airframe with the proposed (read: Never made) modifications Japan required to field the F-16, ergo is fake.
Even if they did, the variant that was flown in front of Japanese Officials couldn’t mount AIM-7M due to it not being wired for it
(Also it was only flown by Americans)
Very cool, given the relatively flimsy nature of the vehicle it would be an awesome event reward!
