the gun existed
IJN’s Type 5 30mm Machine Gun
First ive seen of it, whats its ballistic characteristics, what ammunition selection.
Weight.?
Round velocity?
All you’ve linked me is a cropped photo of a 30mm cannon
Was it exclusively used/made for the Kikka?
770m/s, 30x122mm, 30mm HEI usually weight 345 grams, 500 round per min, belt fed, weights approximately 70kg, ~100–110 kJ at muzzle (based on mass and velocity)
afaik yes
Even the wt wikki has absolutely zero information on the 30mm cannon for the kikka other
Tan “A fighter variant for intercepting B-29s with improved Ne-20 Kai engines and two Type 5 30 mm cannons was under development during 1945, but the war ended before there was a prospect of completing it.”
However a quick google search shows the type 5 30mms were never intended for mounting in an aircraft and were naval mounted autocanmons
you cant use wt wiki they dont ever have anything useful lots
No, i stated above what it is
Seems like they were naval auto cannons. Kikka has hard proof that it flies right?
i gaved
yes fly only once tho
naval auto cannon no, 30×122 mm is specifically design for aircraft
theres a reason why it doesnt have lots of ammo, since its also belt fed
I spent over 100 hours reviewing kikka mate believe me it misses the criteria to exist in game
Then it should be alright, some other prototype do have guns when they never mounted IRL (but were meant for them)
The kikka flies as testef with the 500kg weight to simulate a bomv for ant8 ship purposes
да
then you dont have as much free time as me. mate
Hardly it was never tested with the cannons.
Ir was flown as an interceptor of bombers
I mean was years ago, nothing has changed, now were off topic

i mean im doing a suggestion on the cf-105 rn, and it was intended to have 30mm ADEN cannon, but never fitted because it wasnt finished
and they prioritize A2A over guns anyways since guns=obsolete at that time(they were wrong)
the cannon was presumably tested, has ammo that is made, although i cant rlly find any documentation for it
the guns, ammo, real, shooting them? hard to find
