Yeah. True. I think they found it with some disassembled parts or something. I may be wrong though.

Ki-109
1x 75mm Type 88 gun shooting AP rounds at 720m/s (nearly 100mm penetration and 460g of TNT) or HE round at over 830m/s
Compared to the German duck with 75mm as well, the engines are not underpwered for the airframe. Ki-109 climbs a lot better than the duck, turns much better than the duck and has 12.7mm back gunner.

The Ki-67 lb looks like a really good option in all honesty. All those guns coupled with 3×250 kg bombs could do some real work for Japan.
Ki-102 Otsu
Despite being twin engine fighter, it outturns P-51D, has very good climb rate
Carries 2x 250kg bombs but also has 57mm HE gun in the nose shooting HE rounds. Theres also 2x 20mm forward firing guns. 1x 12.7mm back gunner.

Thanks for all this information. Appreciate it. 
I was trying to get footage of Ki-102 otsu to show off its capabilities but this was the second time in the match cucks had to go for my kill.
Fw-190A-1 is the most agile 190 of all the Antons.

Well they did build it and I’m pretty sure tested it as well. Still ofc no actual usage ever but not just a paper gun either, just a matter of no surviving images of the gun in its 6.5 config (even if there are some rumors, the artist mentioned someone in the know but no luck so far).
If you want to know more, @Debayan001 already linked the post (tho it only sends me to the main topic instead of my comment 
) Japan Small Arms Balancing Discussion Thread - #66 by Killerwolf1024 here and scroll down to the sources, there’s an image that makes it very likely the early 8mm Model 2s were just converted from the 6.5 ones.

Only 3 bombs. D4Y3 has 3 250kg bombs. Ki-67 is not needed

I see.
Ki-67 can carry 15x 50kg or 8x 100kg which i think is better than 3x 250kg.
Furthermore Ki-67’s had also wing pylons for more bombs.

Power of B7A2
Now remember this thing is a dive bomber / torpedo bomber XD
What better way to show it off than giving XP-50 premium scrub, some rabies
You can even dogfight with spitfires to a great extent as well.

The US doesn’t have medium infantry mortars. They only have light infantry mortars, just like the Japanese.

I see. Thanks for the heads up. Then atleast the US and Japan will be equal in this regard if the latter gets this heavy mortar.

Still not needed. We have a bunch of good attacker/dive bomber/light bomber options that we can exhaust before we get to medium bombers. I know youre on this crusade to give Japan medium bombers, but think of the door this will open for other nations. They have better mediums with bigger bombs. Basically youre just gonna cause more power creep

There is already medium bomber in game like the JU188. Moreover, USSR is going to get TU-2S in this update. The door was already opened long time ago.
Its not like dev can’t limit the number of bomb if they add them. Many planes in Enlisted can actually carry more bombs in War Thunder.

The Ju-188 is not really a medium bomber. Its a Schnellbomber or Highspeed bomber, like a Mosquito or Ki-48.
