Reason to add this Aircraft is that the 705th Air Group hase just one Aircraft the B5N2 what isnt really that good and Popular!
If some Body tries to grind the 705th Air Group he hase a long time to grind the tail gunner , and even
when he hase the tail gunnen than he can just use it by one aircraft the B5N2 what isnt really that good
cant shoot forward with guns.

Datas and Stats

  • Crew: 2

  • Maximum speed: 424 km/h (263 mph, 229 kn) at 3,000 m (9,800 ft)

  • Guns:

  • Bombs: 200 kg (440 lb) bombs (normal operations); 250 kg (550 lb) for suicide operations[8]
    Battle Rating i think BR2 i doubt even the 2 × 12.7 mm (.5 in) [Ho-103 machine guns] version would rate higher.
    If this Video is correct the bombs are wing mounted https://youtu.be/SSaV0PRdSTQ

Than the Bomb load would be most likely arround 2X 100kg or 4X 50 Kg Bombs.
Extra Info
The Ki-51 was used from the latter part of the Second Sino-Japanese War through the entire Pacific War, and were active in a wide range of locations from mainland China to the southern front (Malay Peninsula, Indonesia, Burma, New Guinea, Philippines, etc.). Positive traits of the Ki-51 included high low-altitude maneuverability, good takeoff and landing performance from rough ground, and good maintainability, making the Ki-51 a highly practical aircraft that could withstand heavy use on the battlefield.[3] In the latter half of the war losses increased as the basic design was undeniably outdated. When compared to late war fighters, it had relatively low horsepower and slow speed. Also, like other Japanese Army aircraft, it was a combat aircraft with a relatively mediocre bomb load and armament.

agree

The B5N2 isnt really that GREAT!
I did forget to tell that the Ki 51 is for normal TechTree!

Sounds BR1 to me

No carrier spawn. Or option to take off from sky finally from all planes.

Will be good BR I plane its the most produced army ground attacker that Japan had.

The Ami
FFp3 in Br2 hase a weaker Bomb load!
and
The Buffalo in Br1 hase a weaker Bombload as well

Maybe still acceptable in Br2

I think the Boambload is still stronger than some Br 2 planes!

It can carry 1x250 kg bomb and its ground attacker and has no cannons I dont see how it can be BR II. There is literally fighters with same bombload on BR I and better stats.

If iam not wrong , but with Br 1 i would be ok as well!

They are fighter planes not ground attackers. And the FP3 literally needs to be moved to BR I since the buffalo is better.

Ok


I mean I have a fighter at BR I that is much better.

Is this a Event plane?

Its a premium plane from the past. With Italian squad very nice plane :smiley:

Maybe premium is a different category!

Well not at all.


This one has even more payload.

The Ki-51 exist with a Version with 2 × 12.7 mm Guns .

In this video it was told that the Ki51 was very nimble https://youtu.be/SSaV0PRdSTQ

It has 424 km/h xD and 2 heavy machine guns its not a BR II material… compare it with IL-2 or a Stuka or SBD. Its literally SBD-3 with less payload.

The Ki 51 hase just a normal Bomb load of 200KG, the 250 is just for suicide missions!
