[OTW] Nakajima Ki-5 Kai

Another Ki-5?

But with a low wing, and slightly different armaments. Behold a Ki-5 Kai!


The Ki-5 Kai I, to be exact. The Ki-5 Kai II is similar, but the differences are crucial albeit small at first.


The Ki-5 Kai derives from the Ki-5, of course. It is unsurprisingly superior to its predecessor, boasting higher speed, better agility, and stronger armament, now having some 75mm cannons mounted in the plane, meaning it no longer relies on the gunpods. However, it still has the suspended arms in question, which can weigh it down in a turn-fight.

Nonetheless, it can still turn almost anything- even the Ki-5- into sashimi.

The Ki-5 Kai was originally intended for the Otesk War, but after the Ki-5's "poor" performance, the Ki-5 Kai was sorta forgotten and heavily overshadowed by the "superior" Ki-5 Kai II. The Ki-5 is still a good plane, though, so don't underestimate its talents.

Still a pretty easy-to-land plane.


That's all, you know the drill; have fun and happy hunting!

    @MIGFOXHOUND31BSM26 Figured someone would.
    Not just because I did the exact same thing when I built the OG, but because SOMEONE said that my first beloved Ki-5 looked "a little ugly..."
    @KPLBall was a witness, any ideas...?

    @TheUltimatePlaneLover lovely! Why are there hard points on the wings tho? Do the Japanese have unknown missile tech??
