I had already heard this news before, but itβs definitely an aircraft Iβd love to have.
But Iβm not really sure if itβs a plane worthy of BR5.
The armament is certain, but what is at stake is the aircraftβs own performance.
Compared to the Ki-83, the engine is indeed superior, but the problem is that the aircraft itself is a bit larger, so the weight has increased quite a bit, which is a concerning factor.
So will this really deliver aircraft performance worthy of BR5? I think Iβll have to see for myself and find out.
But Iβm fine with it coming out.
At least it looks like itβll be BR4.

Well you are right its more of a BR IV/V since will be the worst BR V but simply there is no better option and in difference of Ki-83 this one will be able to attack armored targets very different then the Ki-83 that is bad ground attacker this one is at least good at that job. But yes its not on the level of other nations BR V Ground attackers but better then nothing since in war thunder there is no Rank IV Japanese ground attacker sadly. The aircraft will be very similar to:

So maybe battle rating 4.5 something like this.
I bet the put same squad as the jet. They love to jam everything under 1 squad japan.
Thatβs a ground attacker they cant but I hope they donβt put it on the same squad with the Ki-83 and like the allies separate them in a two different squads.
