A6M8 and A6M5 hei, adding planes other then Twin engine fighters

[澤仁志 Hitoshi Sawa]

Hi my name is Hitoshi sawa i have 4200 hours only playing Japan Nation in war thunder Never touched any other nations not even once! in Game Name FudoshiHitoshi and no other Nations. i am Japanese american, i wanted to say there are more then enough Produced Variants of Japanese fighters that can be added to the game other then more for the most part useless Twin engine fighters. Japan could use some introduction of new fighters and a very easy place to start is with the Type 52 A6M5s Variants and the A6M8 could even be added these are easy Skin overs and weapon changes and engine performance with change in damage models is all.
For example the A6M5 Hei not in game but produced Thickend Wing skin, type 3 machine gun 2x 13.2 one in each beside the Type 99mk 20mm cannons, with 1 7.7 machine gun from the nose removed and one left. and Four racks for rockets or small bombs were installed outboard of the 13 mm gun in each wing. In all a More effective A6M5, it would be easy to add to the game No Change in Engine Performance.
The A6M8 2 produced prototypes would be perfect Add to the A6M line it only has a Increase of Engine Hp and the Same gun configuration as the A6M5 Hei i just mentioned. and note both Prototypes where fully Flyable and where tested By US forces.
Why would this be a good add ? . me and 316 other warthunder users voted to want this The A6M8 By its self and i my self also think the A6M5 Hei should be added also.

Not only can these A6Ms act as Ground attack roles but better Bomber interceptors and should deserve a place as every thing that was build and flew for Historical reasons and fun.
History: A6M8 was the last type of A6M produced. For a long time, the output of the A6M engine was only 843 kW(1,150 hp), but as a result of the engine becoming Mitsubishi Kinsei 62 engine with 1,163 kW (1,560 hp), significant performance improvement was realized. In addition, bulletproof steel, bulletproof glass and bulletproof fuel tank was equipped. Although the weight increased, the speed of turning became faster, so the turning performance was rather improved and the traditional amazing mobility recovered. A6M8 Model 54 which is the prototype of A6M8, two units were completed in 1945 April 22 by remodeling A6M5c and first flight took place on 28th April in Suzuka factory. In May it was handed over to the Navy and then moved to Misawa base to avoid air raids. Initially, the Japan Imperial Navy did not support the plan of A6M8 very much, but they ware deeply moved by the performance and instructed to produce 6,300 aircraft as A6M8 Model 54. However, bacause of Japan surrendered,

Others are the same as A6M5b. Why not add this in the Games CDK files and add them they should have a place like all the other Variants of Japanese Planes witch are more choices of single Engine fighters are there then Just Adding more Twin Engine Fighters and Bombers. Can we pls get this Positive feed back and please suggest this to the developers pls So we can get a Reply

Only if the A6M8 represented is the mod. 54. The mod. 64 was never made.

But this would be awesome. I am a fan of the A6M series, they are beautiful aircraft, and of course, they bring Arcade fight models to RB and SB. (But their low speed makes them balanced tbf). I talismanned the A6M5 Otsu even. This would be a cool aircraft to have either as a premium or in an expandable folder.

[澤仁志 Hitoshi Sawa]

Yes it is the Model 54

This is a good suggestion but I recommend putting it on the actual wt forums. The devs never look at the steam forums.

[澤仁志 Hitoshi Sawa]

thank you guys for your help i hopes we get them very soon Japan realy needs some single engine fighters

[🎀Hara🎀]

oh hey hitoshi i love the a6m's and japan really needs attackers so these would be good and i want them also i really want the ki-51 because the only good divebomber japan has is the d3a and the others can only drop their bombs when they are flying level

[澤仁志 Hitoshi Sawa]

hi nice to meet you i agree we realy need more Japanese attackers adding the Twin engine fighters is a joke

[🎀Hara🎀]
