Ah yes, your quite right. AND lets not forget that the J7W1 designers had already envisioned
an aircraft with a jet to replace the props :wink: That project never came true, but could have
gone that way if the war had lasted a while longer. The Kikka jet-fighters were already being
constructed in secret mountain factories, so its very likely the Shinden could have gone the
same way if it showed some success in aerial combat against the B-29s and other aircraft.
That would make a very good action scene (for IL-2), to see a dogfight with Sabres fighting
against a futuristic-looking "jet" Shinden.
hock:
... I will try this tomorrow with a squadron of Sabres Versus some Shinden
