Talk:Kawasaki Ki-100

message: The two pictures shown here are not the Ki-100, in fact, they are of a Ki-84.
I have removed them for the time being, such that suitable pictures can be found.

thread_title: Improper Picture

message: Can anyone here verify some of the claims made by the article?  It claims to be one of the best aircraft in WWII but it is not very well known.  While it's predecessor, the "Tony", was well-known for its manuverability, it was also very lightly armed.  So it's possible that this plane was also very manuverable and a great plane.  However, some confirmation of these claims would be nice.

replies: text: I have found this in at least two sources, so I will try to add cites within a week or 2. If someone has a source to the contrary, they are welcome to cite it also. As to why this is not well-known, it was a stop-gap measure enacted near the end of the war to deal with an engine shortage for the Ki-61, illustrating that necessity is indeed the mother of invention. Btw, none of the article is sourced, so I'll try to do that at the same time. - BillCJ 20:36, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Is there any particular reason for having the (????) after the "Type 5 Fighter" etc? It seems very distracting and doesn't seem to have any apparent purpose, other than looking like vandalism.
The most interesting and informative articles I have come across, describing the development and combat record of the K1-100 appeared in the Aeroplane magazine of November 2005 http://www.aeroplanemonthly.com/ Giuseppe Picarella has spent more than 15 years working on the Ki-100 which in the Milestone of Flight hall at Hendon, the only surviving Ki-100 http://www.thomasgenth.de/Hendone/index.htm His sources for the article includes, amongst others, Robert C Mikesh, the Doi family, René Francillon; The articles are well worth reading and confirm the excellent flying qualities of the aircraft.Minorhistorian (talk) 04:57, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Where are the stats from? The quoted max speed is lower than that quoted in the body of the article. Is it perhaps speed at sea-level? Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 02:04, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I was under the impression that since the original Ki-100 models were, in fact, Ki-61 Tony airframes with a radial engine, that the US simply never bothered to assign a different name to the type, considering it a variant of the Tony. This is much like the Yokosuka D4Y Judy; it was always a "Judy", regardless of whether it was the inline or radial engine. Just because the IJAAF decided to give it a new type name, doesn't mean that the US army "mis-identified" it as a "Tony". Rather, they were observant enough to realize the new fighter was simply a radial-engined "Tony" variant. This is in contrast to the Mitsubishi Ki-21 Sally, which caused the US some confusion by switching from the dorsal "greenhouse" to a turret. For a short time, they thought it was a new type, and gave it a new name until they realized their error. Much the same thing occurred with the A6M5, IIRC.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by .45Colt (talk • contribs) 15:56, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  "misidentified as a 'Tony'"? 

message: "Improvement of the basic model led to the Ki-100-II, with a supercharged engine for high-altitude interception of the B-29 Superfortresses, but only three examples were built, and it never saw combat."
All contemporary performance aero engines were supercharged well before the war even began, often with two-speed superchargers. You aren't going to find an engine in service outside of a basic trainer that didn't have at least a single-speed, single stage Supercharger. Below in the list of variants it says that the Ki-100-II was fitted with a Turbocharger. I am going to change the link to reflect this, unless anyone has any problems with that. .45Colt 21:03, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
