We are pleased to present another new addition to War Thunder in the upcoming major update –
the Japanese Kawasaki Ki-100, the most recent development of the Ki-61 line of military fighters.
The story of the Japanese military Ki-100 fighter is remarkable. As a result of the Allied bombing of Japanese armament production lines, an engine production factory in Akashi was destroyed. This factory produced Ha-140 engines for Ki-61 fighters. This left the Kawanishi Aircraft Company with 275 Ki-61 airframes, all bereft of engines. In the extremely harsh wartime conditions, such resource could not go unused, so the airframes were given a new ‘heart’ – the Mitsubishi Ha-112-II radial engine. The first aircraft, dubbed the Ki-100, took to the skies in February 1945, just two months after the new engine was first installed in the Ki-61 airframe.

Almost immediately, the Ki-100 was put into combat. It turned out that while it had a lower speed than the Ki-61-II, the vehicle showed better maneuverability and higher performance characteristics. In spite of the fact that the vehicle placed high demands on pilot skill, in the hands of an experienced pilot the Ki-100 was a force to be reckoned in skirmishes with the American Hellcats and even Mustangs. By the end of the war, 394 Ki-100s had been produced, which continued to fight in the skies right up until Japan capitulated.

In War Thunder, we present to you the Ki-100-I, the early series of this fighter. The Ki-100 with its new engine is somewhat inferior to the Ki-61-II in its speed characteristics, but its air-cooled engine is significantly more reliable and fire-resistant. The aircraft inherited its armament from the Ki-61-II – two 20mm Ho-5 cannons, two high-calibre Ho-103 machine guns and the ability to carry 2x250 kg bombs on its wing-mounted racks.

In War Thunder, the aircraft will take its place at rank III in Japan’s line of military single-engine Japanese fighters. You’ll be able to try out this new addition in battle very soon in the future update in War Thunder. See you on the battlefield!

Really happy to see this beauty in WT, I remember flying this in IL2 Sturmovik 1946, and until now that legend was the only place it as the last survivor is in the RAF Museum at Cosford along with the ME 410 and Ki-46 (I do recommend you see them) glad to see it given a new lease of life in WT so well done and I wish you devs luck in future projects.
I admit, I was hoping more for the newer Ki-100-II variant, but regardless, I am not at all disappointed. Just having this plane AT ALL is freakin' awesome!
How is it's climb rate?
How is the climb rate?(The other way I worded it sounded weird to me)*.
finally, the ki-100... this is what every japanese aviators in war thunder has been waiting for
i love that you are constantly adding all of these awesome vehicles. However, I don't mean to take the mic, but I would love to see some more post war German vehicles as all of the other nations have loads. and also some more German bombers along with the b36 and tu95 bombers for the next update that should be called 1.61 raining hell or 1.61 rock bottom. thank you!
All of the post-war vehicles of Japan: Sabre.
Now what's the chances if the canopy will actually open or not :3
So it was fighting Hellcats and some Mustangs, like like the N1K2. With your logic you will place it on at least BR 5.7, but rather 6.0 so it won't see either of those opponents and just face off against Jets like the rest of happily overtiered Japan.
nice to know that japan is still being considered. Now, will we finally get some competitive late game planes instead of clones of other nations (KIkka, Sabre).
HELL Yes! Now Japan needs a few single-engined bombers (D4Y, anyone?)
Yeah. The Japanese tree is missing quite a few important attackers, bombers and their variants. We need them ASAP.
any chance of tank single player missions or tank campaigns? also a really good mission would be the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot.
I agree! Been anxiously waiting for tank missions and campaigns. More Pacific Theater missions/locations for aircraft are needed, too.
