Ki-43-II Kai is actually a -III model?

[taly001]

I have still been researching how to fix the il2 Ki-43-II Kai which as at 4.13.4 is still not right.

The Ki-43-II Kai all came with bomb racks which reduced speed to that of the earlier -II models, so Il-2 version is OK there....but then the bomb racks should be added to the 3D model, and the existing 3D exhausts pipes are still wrong as they are in the -III style.

It still seems much easier to alter some 20 lines of code to make it match its 3D model which is of a Ki-43-III, by aliasing the game name to Ki-43-III and adding the Ha-115-II water injected motor specifications, with 70 ltr H2O tank behind pilot.

I believe that the only way to fix this problem is to keep the old, incorrect, model and add the corrected model as a new plane. That was what was done with the badly-modeled early Hawk 81/P-40 series when we got a better replacement.
