Gunfreak Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 When we finally got project update, about damage modeling being the last part before they hand it over to ED, I just assumed based on the team size, the wording they used and Mag3s operation style. They it would be at least 6 months. So I'm not fretting yet. But once we've past July. I'll start to the excited and impatient. 1 i7 13700k @5.2ghz, GTX 3090, 64Gig ram 4800mhz DDR5, M2 drive.

Cool Breeze Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Ok, so I know I may be late to the party on the speculation on this image, but I didn't see any specific mentions of it in the forums here. Looking at Manitudes New Years post the two aircraft that are in silhouette of the red shell burst I casually thought, looking on my phone screen, of them as more Zero teasers. Now going back to them on my much larger monitor I started noticing more details that I missed. Looking more closely at the underside of the cowling there is a more prominent fairing there, the canopy was relatively frameless, the aerial mast behind the cockpit appeared in a different place, and the tail of the aircraft were very different from any Zero/Zeke model I'm familiar with. I know Magnitude and ED are working on multiple assets for the PTO including I think very obviously the AI Zero/Zeke is among many other assets, so is it possible they are hiding other AI fighters up their sleeve? My speculation here would be that they have an AI Ki-84 Hayate in the works in addition to the heavily teased Zero! Is anyone else seeing the same thing or am I completely off base here?

_Hoss Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Ki-84, now that, in DCS would be something to see. I'd buy it for sure. 1 Sempre Fortis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I commented on it right away after a guy posted a cropped fragment of original pic in the "A6M5c tease" thread back then. Zoomed-in Ki-84 silhouette was so characteristic it couldn't be mistaken for anything else. Or could it? Apparently someone in FB comments sees a P-40 and a Zero over there . That reminds me reading about early months of war on the PTO, when for all Allied pilots everything with a radial engine and meatballs on wings was promptly identified as a "Zero". Now, that Ki-84 might not mean anything - after all, If you recall, Leatherneck team before the split had a Wildcat as a backdrop of their official website (which made the community speculate their brains out) and today we know it was only just that - a fancy website backdrop. However, "I want to believe" there's indeed an AI Frank asset in the works as well. We can only wait and see.

Krupi Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 A Ki-84 would be fantastic to see, I wonder what ED have up there sleeves… they definitely have something brewing. I know the map would be far too large but a Solomon/New Guinea map would make me very happy. Begs the question where were the vast majority of the Ki-84 stationed… Japan/Okinawa or further afield? 1 Windows 10 Pro | ASUS RANGER VIII | i5 6600K @ 4.6GHz| MSI RTX 2060 SUPER | 32GB RAM | Corsair H100i | Corsair Carbide 540 | HP Reverb G2 | MFG crosswind Pedals | Custom Spitfire Cockpit Project IX Cockpit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art-J Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) ^ Majority? Philippines and Japan, so the upcoming WWII Marianas map doesn't fit at all, but whatever. Any PTO map is better than no PTO map. There's one more thing - apparently when Greg of "Greg's Airplanes and Automobiles" channel made his excellent 3-part series on the Frank, he used some rare reference materials provided by Hiromachi. That means the venerable M3's documentation guy has been actively gathering data about that plane. He might be doing it privately for himself... but might as well be doing it for his team.

JD Swann Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 To my eye both of the silhouettes in the Magnitude 3 image look like they came from the Ki-84 in the War Thunder wiki. Magnitude 3: War Thunder: I thin they look exactly the same. The War Thunder image is from here: https://wiki.warthunder.com/Ki-84_hei If the silhouettes are just copy/pasted from the web I'm afraid there may be less there than meets the eye. But hope springs eternal. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoYo Posted November 3, 2023 Share Posted November 3, 2023 2 weeks? Surely that means that release not this year? I hope I was wrong. Honestly, I was betting on the end of the year, but it's already November and still nothing.
