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!

I know the ranks/tiers are only "approximations" - but rank III? This one came out well after the Ki-84.
But if we use this logic, we can see the B-17 as a tier 1/2 aircraft, being made at the time of the I-16.
MooseTheSyrupMan, And following the same logic N1Ks be placed far away from F8Fs and jets (albeit the ones actually made until the end of the war not slightly after the war) or any Japanese prop for that matter. ( except Ki-102, Ki-83, J7W1)
Sounds like a nice addition, but it's not meh T-62
Is this plane a silver one or premium one,tier 3 or tier 4?Will there be Ki-100-II?
I don't think it'll be premium since I don't want to seen the forums set on fire again xD and it's tier 3
The Ki-100-II on the other hand could be a good premium
Gaijin, I know you are a bit busy, and you always add interesting new aircraft that keep me in the game, but, do you think we can have a B-26 sometime? It would be a better bridge between the B-25s (tier II) and the B-17s (Tier III). However, due to it's specs, I wouldn't mind it being either in the attacker line.
For those interested in its performance: https://live.warthunder.com/post/469533/en/
Looks great, sounds great and will be a very serious problem at 6.7. My once superior Focke-wulfs will be completely obsolete by almost all Tier IV aircraft, There are a few exceptional vehicles but...Will Germany have what it takes to be able to fight the Tier IV beasts (F8F Bearcat, Spitfire Griffon, Tempest, J7W1, Yakovlev 9UT, La-9, Tu-4)? (Appreciated if answered)
I really like all the new additions up and coming... and thank you for the reduction of gold for task boxes for the Summer Events... if one has to miss an event, little easier to lay down 300 gold than 600
Nice. But when you will add something to the left RIGHT side of the Japanese TT? B6N, D4Y, P1Y, G3N, Ki-67?
This is fine and dandy, now can you make US tanks competitive? they are the literal definition of cancer.
YAAAAAAS. I've been waiting for this for so long, thank you!
