Ever wanted to try those beautiful and strange Japanese late-war designs that never made it to action? Well, this is your chance:



I have made a pack with SEVEN "What-if" campaigns for the following Japanese aircraft types, that were never used in action, but might have, had the war dragged on into 1946:

* The Mitsubishi Ki-83 Heavy fighter
* The Nakajima Ki-87-I High altitude interceptor NEW!
* The Rikugun Ki-93 Heavy fighter
* The Tachikawa Ki-94-II High altitude interceptor
* The Nakajima "Kikka" Jet interceptor
* The Mitsubishi J4M "Senden" Interceptor
* The Kyushu J7W "Shinden"Short range interceptor

These seven campaigns are essentially variations of a single theme, but there is a random factor in all of them: the opposition WILL vary, as will the weather and the skill of your enemies. If replaying a single mission it will not always be the same. Please note that your enemies have "1946"-style aircraft as well. So be prepared to meet a number of new enemy designs.

You can download it here: http://www.mission4today.com/index.php?name=Downloads3&file=details&id=862

To play these campaigns you need BAT 4.1.2.

The premise is that when Nazi-Germany is defeated in May 1945, fighting breaks out in Europe between the Western Allies and the Soviet Union, distracting the war effort of the United States against Japan in the Pacific. At the same time the Manhattan project gets delayed. All this means that Imperial Japan gets a much needed respite, which she uses to abandon many of her hard-defended gains, and to concentrate her meagre resources on defending the Home Islands against an inevitable US invasion in 1946 - "Operation Downfall". This also means that several new and modern Japanese aircraft types will reach production and become operational. In these campaigns you get a chance to try them out in real aerial combat.

Thanks for looking!

Looks interesting. Are you going to make a 1946 campaign for Germany, Soviet, etc?

I have no such plans now, no. But I think there are some Europe 1946 campaigns around. Search here and at Mission4Today! 😁

I have an update in the works for some old Meteor and Vampire stuff.

Good!

Now this campaign pack contains SEVEN campaigns, as it includes one for the Nakajima Ki-87-I High altitude interceptor as well!



Thanks to 101tfs and Storebror for this one!

I know this thread is years old, but I did want to 1 say, excellent work on these missions


and 2, I was never sure if it was intentional or not, but the bomb holes on the side of the runway virtually wreck a lot of your allies that takeoff (notably with the ki-83s)



and some other things...
