Well then, refer to it as the Ki-84 "Gale" and then confuse people although that is correct.BBfanboy wrote: Sun Dec 04, 2022 10:49 pm Yeah, I knew I could look it up, but I was trying to suggest to the OP that not everyone is familiar with the Japanese model numbers and perhaps the Allied moniker for the aircraft should be included in the post to save a bunch of people from looking it up.

Then call it the "Hayate" but I think that the Allied pilots and AAA gunners would tend to call it something else!BBfanboy wrote: Mon Dec 05, 2022 10:25 pm Gale is the English translation of the Japanese name, not the Allied common name. It was a Frank to Allied pilots and AAA gunners!
Well, most know e.g. A6M Zero or even Ki-61 etc., but something like Ki-84...or *gasp* Ki-100 are quite obscure to many in their Japanese designations.BBfanboy wrote: Sun Dec 04, 2022 10:49 pm Yeah, I knew I could look it up, but I was trying to suggest to the OP that not everyone is familiar with the Japanese model numbers and perhaps the Allied moniker for the aircraft should be included in the post to save a bunch of people from looking it up.
Ki-100? A plane without allied codename? *gasp*Sardaukar wrote: Tue Dec 06, 2022 8:58 amWell, most know e.g. A6M Zero or even Ki-61 etc., but something like Ki-84...or *gasp* Ki-100 are quite obscure to many in their Japanese designations.BBfanboy wrote: Sun Dec 04, 2022 10:49 pm Yeah, I knew I could look it up, but I was trying to suggest to the OP that not everyone is familiar with the Japanese model numbers and perhaps the Allied moniker for the aircraft should be included in the post to save a bunch of people from looking it up.
The Ki-100 had an allied code name. It is the Tony, the Ki-61 with a decent engine. A well tested radial engine that the Japanese were familiar with instead of a new fangled, inline, liquid cooled engine that was excellent when made by the Germans but the Japanese tried to "modify" it but that did not work out for them.AtParmentier wrote: Tue Dec 06, 2022 10:20 amKi-100?
