The IJA's Ki 32 - A light bomber for BR1 Japan

The Ki-32, or 九八式軽爆撃機 (Type 98 light bomber), was a light bomber used the IJA starting in 1937, with a total of 854 being produced before production was halted. This bomber was two-seated, a pilot and rear gunner, the pilot with a 7.7mm machine gun with 200 rounds total, and the rear gunner with a dual barreled 7.7mm machine gun with 540 rounds. The payload options which it can carry in War Thunder are either nine 50kg bombs or four 100kg bombs, but I think both would work on BR1, since for context, the Potez 633 has dual 200 Kg bombs. I think this would be an interesting option to give Japan a proper BR1 attacker aircraft instead of the depressing floatplane it has, and one that would airspawn as well, since it was an Army plane.
