Nakajima Ki-201 Karyū "Fire Dragon" (キ201 火龍)

Something like that would be average. 4 almost identical planes. I would prefer two Ki-201 with different engines and the possibility of changing weapons

My number 1 concern is to make sure people who missed out on R2Y2s can get as many airplanes with four 30mm cannons as possible, however there are not many option except so having to settle with 20mm for the last one kinda may be a must?

Edit: also Germany has like a gazillion Me-262s at this point so…

Yeah but they all actually flew, which is an important difference. Even the rocket-boosted ones were both at least test-flown once.

Dude vast majority of Japan players sticks to props and bully the plebs because middle tier is ass, they do not even bother with the early jets we have now…

and that is not going to change. Japanese early jets simply suck no matter what you add. Also the idea that we would have two variants of a plane that was nowhere close to being completed is laughable.

Well then people better stop crying and yell “nerf Japan props reeeeeeeeeeee” cause the tech tree being ass = never gonna change.

Should get a Japanese millionaire to fix that issue. In all seriousness, it is doable; look at the 262 Project. One can dream haha

True, because if it’s anywhere close to being good at 7.0-7.3 it’ll instantly be moved up to 8.0 because “statistics”.

I haven’t seen anyone talking about nerfing Japanese props.

Playing these three in a uptier is a nightmare.

More help for Japan tier 5 is always welcome (this was partially built as well). +1

Imperial Japanese jets are cool. A second Kikka would be nice.

Something I remembered seeing about the Ki-201 on NHK
calling it a Phantom Fighter jet due to it being mostly a unknown aircraft parts (Engine cover and exhaust) were found at a university campus.

I know this would be a bit pretentious but maybe the two engine configurations could be folders. This is mostly because Japan tier 5 with the loss of the R2Y2 family is small so maybe having them as separate planes could help largen the lineups in arcade air and ground/naval?

This engine is the Hitachi Ne-230

time to hop back on the secret projects forum.
