The Ki-61 was a Japanese fighter aircraft in World War 2. Introduced in 1942, the Ki-61 didn't meet the expectations in combat due to it's weight and engine problems. The engine would often break down causing the pilot to land. The K-61s turn radius was large meaning it would turn slowly and have a high chance of being shot down. The K-61 was a very problematic aircraft built by the Japanese. Rather than that, one of the most coolest looking fighters I've ever seen.

Features

Custom made landing gear (this is my first plane to have custom suspension!)
A radiator cooling vent that activates while using throttle
And a combat camera that captures the back of the aircraft.

I apologise for the awkward zoomed out images, the freecam mod isn't working for some reason.

Controls

Group 1 to activate Radiator cooling vent

Group 2 to drop fuel tanks
