Why the Removal of the R2Y2’s from War Thunder is a Mistake

Japan is for Japan, no more western aircraft!

  1. Nakajima Ki-201 Karyu (just Me-262 but 8% bigger)
  2. Kyushu J7W2 Shinden Kai (prototype with prop engine flew)
  3. Yokosuka MXY-7 Ohka (with Type 97 20mm anti tank rifle - fictional anti-bomber modification)

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.

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

  1. Do not tempt people to time travel! It always ends badly…
  2. It is literally Me–262/kikka but bigger not that hard to math the flight model, also many of the “real planes” have fake stats.
  3. Flight model/airframe is proven to work, cannot possible be more unrealistic than the Yaks and modern jets they just guessed with…
  4. Both the components needed to make it is real and was made even the planned upgrade for the Ohka which apparently was to use Kikka engines could have been done to.

🤣🤣🤣
👍

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

  • Kikka (7.0)
  • Karyu (7.3?)
  • F-84G (7.7)

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.

Ki-201 should be added simply because we have kitbashed tanks that either didnt exist or were completely made up (ostwind II and zerstorer 45 as prime examples) - coelian 341 is more real than these 2

Ki-201 also has been found remains of the engine cowls, making it more plausable to add simply to fill in the BR gap or to just add more unique stuff for japan

The German Sea Hawk at 8.0 is the closest analog to the T-1s, in terms of flight performance and guided missile loadout. The Sea Hawk does have the advantage of 4x20mm Hispano Mk. V.

Without missiles though, a T-1 would fit in perfectly at 7.7 alongside similar jets.

The best domestic-only solution would be to have the following:

7.0/7.3: T-33 (toss up due to similar aircraft at either BR)
7.7: T-1 sans AIM-9s
8.0: T-1 with AIM-9s

Then a premium T.55 Vampire at the appropriate BR

This solves the issue of the paper R2Y2s with planes that actually flew for the JASDF (or imported for evaluation in the case of the Vampire).

The T-1s also deserve a place as being the first Japanese domestic post-war planes developed, military or otherwise.

Beautiful planes.

Well the T-1early? without missiles would likely have to be at best…

  • AB 7.7 - RB 7.7 - SB 8.0

While T-1B with would probably be about br…

  • AB 8.3 - RB 9.0 - SB 9.3

That leaves us with T-33 at maybe br…

  • AB 6.7 - RB 7.0 - SB 7.0

If they also introduced the Ki-201 it will maybe be a step above Kikka or same?

All in all we could have a trio of 7 or below and one above 8, so at bare minimum one would be a premium for sure…
