About the plane:

Rikugun Ki-93 was an attacker developed by the Imperial Japanese Army during WWII. After damaging the plane during its first trial, the aircraft never entered mass production.

It is armed with a Ho-402 57mm cannon, 2x Ho-5 20mm autocannons and a Ho-103 flexible MG for self-defense. Two 250kg bombs can also be carried.

^ The Ki-93 after breaking its main landing gear at landing, 8 April, 1944

^ The exact same scene re-enacted in Simple Planes.

This aircraft is a hypothetical aircraft set for the Flying 31st Sentai, IJAAF, which was historically an attacker squadron who may receive Ki-93s if it was mass produced.

Features:
-Good performance (700 km/h sea level, 8-9 second 360 turn)
-Suitable for both WWII combat challenges in the game, as well as most of the racing challenges.
-Discard cartridges

-Recoil action of the 57mm gun
-Constant-speed propeller with reverse thrust
-Custom cockpit
-Functional tail gun
-Custom Engines with moving cowling flaps

Controls:
AG1: Flap
AG2: 57mm gun master switch
AG3: Drop both ordnance
AG6: Spotlights
AG7: Tail gunner master switch
AG8: 20mm gun master switch

VTOL: Propeller pitch (act as throttle)
Throttle: Tail gun elevation
Trim: Tail gun direction.

How to fly:
-Slowly increase pitch to takeoff.
-The orange marker on the pitch indicator shows optimum pitch for maximum speed at sea level. If you fly high the optimal pitch will be slightly higher.
-Use feathering (propeller pitch higher than optimal) for stablization during strafing runs
-Keep reverse thrust minimum when landing.
-FOR SINGLE ENGINE FAILURE: (yes for some reason this often happens in combat, probably because the huge propellers became a huge hitbox)
1.Feather your propellers all the way immediately (maximum pitch)
2.After the plane has stablized, reduce pitch slightly to increase power (go back to max pitch if you feel you are losing control)
3.Do not set any non-max pitch when turning
4.Land ASAP. When on final approach return the pitch to neutral at once (your plane will shake a bit but should soon regain stability) and do NOT use reverse thrust after landed.
