Nakajima KI-115 Tsurugi Suicide plane V 1.1

120 Hobgoblin  8.8 years ago

Re uploading fixing some things I over looked. The KI 115 was a suicide aircraft that used the Nakajima HA 35 1150 h.p. engine Which Japan had large stocks of during the closing days of WW2 . Their plan was to make 8000 air craft a month. They hoped by sending waves of thousands of attackers they could Drive American battle fleets away from their homeland. But in reality Sending Hordes of barely trained pilots to fly into targets hundreds of miles away would have been very difficult to manage, and was probably not realistic. I replicated the original as close as I could. and am pleased to see that while not exact. I got in the ball park PLEASE NOTE the KI 115 was unarmed except for its bombs. The orignal aircraft was said to handle poorly. But minus the bomb I find it handles well.
