By the way... I understand that by the time the Japanese get the Ki-67 it might not make it to production because fighters are much more important, and I know this could be tested quick using the editor.. But looking at the stats only, shouldnt the Ki-67 be almost as difficult to down as the B-24, or at least much, much more difficult than the G3M and G4M? I am yet to see the Netties get a kill despite the 20mm tail gun, but they might just not survive long enough. Does anyone have experience on how well or bad the Ki-67 survives against Allied fighters, especially those with only 4 HMGs such as FM-2 and P-51B?
Peggy is better than Mrs. Nell or Mrs. Betty but not even close to a B-24 when it comes down to taking hits from fighters. Just look at the durability of the two aircraft. The Peggy is only four points more durable than a Lightning for example.
