I for one am glad these unhistorical disgraces will no longer destroy my suspension of disbelief when playing the game.
Nothing takes me more out of the game’s historical atmosphere than when I’m trying to fire a sidewinder missile from my supersonic American F11F-1 at a one-of-a-kind rocket powered Me 262 C-2b to get him off the tail of my Russian ally flying his equally unique La 174 prototype in Spanish airspace, and then this totally unrealistic Imperial Japanese eyesore comes into view.
And who could ever forget about swedish post war wagons travelling back in time to fight T-34s and Shermans?
Or when the Soviet Union’s 1950s light tank traveled to 1943 to fight against Tigers and Panthers.
Which the German countered by using an American SPG from the 50s to fight against the USA.
Japan is for Japan, no more western aircraft!
ANY OF THESE ARE BETTER!!!
None of those would be ~8.0 in BR, and stop it with the xenophobia.
Oh and none of them are real aircraft.
BTW Xenophobia isn’t when stating Japan should have more Japanese planes.
They made over 800 of the Ohka & over 1100 of the Type 97 anti-tank rifle, there is no point having copy paste trees… Also Japan has now thanks to the planned removal only a 7.0 jet and a 7.7 BR rating and everything else is over 8.0 meaning you cannot even make a full roster of 3 for Arcade! It is not Xenophobia to complain that the tech tree we started grinding has been changed to something else than what we wanted! I expected at the bare minimum 1 or 2 of the planes I suggested ot have been added by now… They can either add 1 of the 3 to make sure we have 3 planes for under 7.7 or cancel the removal of the R2Y2s!
edit: also all the new modern planes seems to have bogus made up stats anyway!
Xenophobia isn’t when stating japan should have japanese planes.
This crap again he has no idea what xenophobia is… He called me racist earlier in the post then once I called him out he switched it to xenophobia.
Should’ve won the war then.
Never Built
Already got the prototype. That’s as far as it gets.
FICTIONAL
🤣🤣🤣
👍
Engines were built, which is more than certain other vehicles in the game, and enough for a suggestion.
It might still be controversial, chances are it’s never added, but it’s not impossible.
J7W1 was not a jet prototype, it was the intended aircraft “J7W2” was a post-war idea of a theoretical jet conversion.
Debatable, since there is some evidence of a “Suzuka 24” as per US intel. But it’s vague and not enough to really prove it or model it in game.
Suzuka 24 has two 20mm guns?!! The converted Ohka seen in the anime Konpeki no Kantai only had one…
Nice to finally find the source of the inspired fictional craft, it would be even better! Actually they could implement both and have the latter be a upgrade for it like they did with the Kikka? 😍
*Partially built and has enough to be added as per gaijin’s requirements
Eeehhh I am unsure about replacing fictional R2Y2 with even more fictional ‘gunned Ohka’
If we really, really need to choose from one of these
Because you guys don’t want any more Western jets to replace domestic one
Then, sounds like #1 is the only plausible option
Almost paper, partially built. but better than a post-war idea or manned missile with no warhead but 20mm anti-tank rifle.
That would solve the Arcade issue of Japan not having enough 7.0 jets, OG players have no issue they have 3 total of BR 7.3 jets while new players if the Ki-201 gets added probably gets
Tossing more universal backups at players feels more like a bandaid than a fix…
If I had to choose, Ki-201
J7W2 seems fun, but sadly doesn’t seem to be a wartime design, but a post-war speculative design.
Suzuka 24 might have existed, but sources aren’t clear enough.
Which leaves Ki-201. It’s not an exception as per game rules, but an unfinished prototype, which is accepted by suggestion rules.
It is just needed to add T-33, T-1B, trained Vampire and T-1A (better engine and + missiles) and this line will close all spaces of Japanese vehicles at ~7.0-8.3.
But the issue is that for 10 years none of this planes were added and then Thai clones appeared
T-33 is not in the game already, would at the very least not be “copy paste” however not really a domestic Japanese plane.
T-1B it is at the very least “made in Japan worthy” sadly it will 100% be at the higher end of BR8 with the MiG-17s and Sabre’s with missiles.
In terms of gun firepower these planes looks awful on paper… 😅
The T-33 was produced under license, so at least it’s ever so slightly more relevant than imported/captured aircraft.
It depends if the T-1s actually get missiles, most likely AIM-9Bs. I’d rather they not (or at least one model without them, or put the missiles on a premium, whatever), since a much lower BR (sub-7.0) could be had, similar to He 162 and Strikemaster. 3x .50cals (at most, w/ 2 gunpods) certainly isn’t amazing but it’d be balanced out by being a jet facing mostly props.
If they get missiles there is no way that they’re gonna be 7.0 or lower.
The Vampire trainer had either 2 or 4 20mm cannons, depends on if the second seat is actually occupied IIRC.
