Won't be long.
Cockpits are finished, including jap. textures for the panels and gauges.
Turrets are working.
Ship search radar is working, including land reflections showing you when you come ashore.
Weapons are just being addressed.
Next will be the damage model and finally another glance at the flight model.
I don't think it will be ready this week, but it should be so next week.

Since she was never real and this is a game, do you think it would be good to give her a lighter weight so she can take off from our runways in game? I know one may be able to lift off but I doubt any more than one could.

[SAS~Storebror]

I think she'll have no issues with takeoff, now that we have the CRP version with twice the power.
But even if so, I've already stated that I'll add RATO boosters if this should become an issue.

By the by, all those fancy bomb loadouts will ship in 3 fashions:

• Full load (20 tons)
• Half load (10 tons)
• Extended range (5 tons of bombs + additional fuel)

To tell the truth, I didn't expect to see this plane in the game so fast and now it turns out that Fugaku will even be equipped with a radar to detect ships (and a lot of other interesting gadgets)! and the load of bombs that can be dropped at once is really impressive .
A great team and a job well done .
Best regards,

Big Babe with a huge Bomb Bay? Oh yeah, bring her to me

Thanks for your work!

The Longest Run is a 3km or 5km, only then you can Takeoff at 300 K/mph, But how to get The Fugaku to land.

The Longest Run is a 3km or 5km

It's well below 2km, see reply #67.

only then you can Takeoff at 300 K/mph

Rotation speed is about 220 km/h, at 250 km/h you get airborne.

But how to get The Fugaku to land.

Flaps, a runway without obstacles in the landing pattern and a pilot who understands that he's not sitting in a nimble single engine fighter will surely help.
Did I mention brakes?

Can you add torpedo, storebror. Thanks


Best Regards KT503

[SAS~Storebror]

I think we've discussed the feasibility of torpedo attacks with such a massive beast like the Fugaku before: It just makes no sense.
Therefore: Nope, unless someone comes up with a reasonable idea why a plane designed for high speed / high altitude attacks should go down low and slow to cross ships and their flak.

Wow Mike! That's a hell of a menu. Can get fries and a diet Coke with that? Lol 😁
