The Ki-102 Otsu

Also I would like to notice that it could take 800kg bomb also.
In US documents about Ke-Go is said that Ki-67 took 2 of this bombs. But because of sizes it looks like that it can’t be used in bomb bay but could easily be used on underwing bomb rack

That would be an excellent idea. The Ki 67 suffers from having an awful bomb load for its battle rating. The pylons would help a lot.

Is the assumption that the Ko could only carry 250 kg correct, and the Otsu up to 500 kg?

That being said, I wouldn’t mind making a thread for the Ki-67, there are other issues like the nose and rear turrets not working properly. Like my message if I should

Ho-203 and Ho-204 HE rounds now have the correct weight and muzzle velocity. Unfortunately HE filler weight and type was left. Also there shouldn’t be a tracer at all?

@KillaKiwi would you like to report these?

The secondary sources below give the same 45g filler, but I’m not sure what type it should be in game.

I’m curious if the armor will match up, but it’s less of a priority than the bombs tbh

I did the tracer.

Not sure what I can do about the 45g filler.

The 37mm HEFI shell with the Type 4 Air Collum Fuze seems to be filled primarely with incendiary filler, which is probably the reason for increase in filler weight.
