The Japanese really could benefit from a BR I Air start option in the Lower Tiers, and a Ki 43 II with a bomb load option would really fit nicely.
2 x 50 kg Army Type 94 GPHE bombs (100 kg total)
2 x 100 kg Army Type 94 GPHE bombs (200 kg total)
2 x 250 kg Army Type 92 GPHE bombs (500 kg total)
The Italians could really benefit from a CR 42
The odd thing is of course that War Thunder does not have of the CAS load out options for it, it had historically.
CR.42AS
A close air-support version. The two standard 12.7 mm machine guns could be supplemented with two more. There were underwing racks for two 220 pounds (100 kg) bombs. AS stands for ‘Africa Settentrionale.’
Japan needs to rework the whole air force, add planes, change the bomb load and BR to the already existing ones, and also add the possibility of aircraft appearing in the air, in fact aircraft carriers without escort ships cover and so close to land look very stupid.
Why? Germany has the best 2 BR aviation of any nation.
Part of the problem with BR 1 is the IAR and P38, your right why take anything other than either of those, except for the fun of using something deferent, and two 100 kg bombs is not to shabby.
and 4 x 127mm mg’s…
I would also like to run an entirely Italian line up as well.
Sure, but if the choice was up to me, id first get something whats missing such as fix the FW’s or add entirely new plane that can rival with the rocket spam.
