Could you explain the lore of this captured P-51?

This plane was flown by First Lieutenant Oliver E. Strawbridge who was apart of the 26th Fighter Squadron, 51st Fighter Group, 14th Airforce. His plane “known as Evalina” is unclairfied on how it ended up in Japanese hands. From the Americans, it’s said the cause was navigational error. From the Japanese, the plane is said to have made a emergency landing into a rice paddy field near the base, some said to have made a normal landing necessitated by a technical fault.
After the plane was captured, it went through many tests and testflights

Japan currently needs events with useful weapons as rewards. Hotchkiss, Hino, and Type Hei 10 Late.
KE-7 (50) and Arisaka mortars would be suitable secondarily.

It feels like it’ll become a light sport aircraft similar to those flown by French pilots back in the Soviet era.

and the saddesr thing, they are a lot of guns who arent added yet, some prototypes and captured weapons

Don’t really see the point of adding a captured fighter for Japan consider that there are still plenty of Japan fighters from War Thunder that can be added to the game.

it’s just for event thing and well I am open to do that, as I did with my bomber posts, why all nations have light and medium bombers but japan actually no? xD

Hey @Naohmcete what’s the armament the plane has? The same has the P-51 in the American TT?

Normally I’m not big on Lend-Lease and captured items…but Japan 's TT AND event squads are lacking.

well, we can use the stats from war thunder

Also, Ki-100 is already great. BR 3 fighter is about the last thing Japan needs.

don’t need any of their garbage… unless it’s just another form of sword.
