Quickest/best way to get some more Japanese strike aircraft into the game

According to Wikipedia it was Nells and Bettys that sank force Z

I think Nells should be prioritiesd, as we have Bettys.

I just feel that the Nell is not that useful when we put it in context of the entire war. It was successful early on but was otherwise overshadowed by the Betty. As it stands we have one fairly early model Betty with the modified tail stinger but right now it's being used in scenarios that span the entire war. Dropping in a Nell leaves us in the same position.

No doubt... a very interesting plane but of limited usefulness across the range of dates and scenarios.

We really need an ARMY attack aircraft.

Thank goodness we're getting the Ki-45. That will fill the role nicely with 2x250kg bomb carrying and a 37mm artillery cannon in the one model that works well as an anti-tank aircraft (probably better than it's role as a bomber interceptor).

But a level bomber of some kind would be useful for the Army too. Agreed.

I'm thinking about an Ann or Sonya. Actually the Sonya (KI 51) would be the better choice as it was manufactured to the end of the war.

If we were to get an early Phillippines, China, or Indo China map, then the Ann (KI 30) would be appropriate.

Someone from the Russian community was working on a Ki-51, but I am not sure if work on the project continues.

Not a bad idea as well. Would be interesting for a scenario in there somewhere definitely.

I've often mused about what it would take to build a map for IL-2. A China map would be great to have. Something totally different than the usual.

All it would take is one or two people with the knowledge to help.

There is someone at DT that needs the help to do it.
