Another unit that I never expected to see!

That's the best comment for any unit made "Still not enough"!

I love the terrifying designs. How about Ca.60 hydroplane (threefold triplane)? However, I don't see practical application of this unit.

Alas, I don't see application of this hydroplane too.

Delta, again thank you very, very much for this quick release of the Shinden!
Now even the Japanese can have an 'up to date' late WW2 fighter in CCM2 and WW2 Global Gold, as the last version of Whyrmshadow was too small in size (compared to his aircraft of other civs) and his old version at present is dated.

Lovely as ever!
Are there plans for an overhauled Kawasaki Ki.61 Hien/Tony?
Historical possible would be both Japanese Army and National Chinese Airforce.
EDIT: Picture removed, because it was totally blurred during upload.

Hey what I found on Wikipedia is there’s Japanese Brewster F2A Buffalos and a captured zero fighter and USA had Junkers Ju 87

@chickenx4 Yes they had captured those planes but they had their own planes that fulfilled similar roles. Most have been made already.
Update: Dornier Do 217 added!

And how about gyroplans?
These are not the most widespread fighting vehicles, however there were also interesting models.
For example, Kamov A-7-7A.
Arms: two automatic 40-mm grenade launchers of Taubin, two ShVAK 20-mm guns, two 12,7-mm machine guns on a tourist's fir-tree.
Fighting loading - 4 uncontrollable rockets of RS-82 or RS-132 and 400 kg of bombs.
In a game can be the predecessor of fighting helicopters.

A-7-7A.
Further development of a series. The rotor — the bearing autogyro screw — became four-blade. Also configuration has changed. Powerful offensive arms have caused the necessity to move the power plant from two M-25 with the coaxial three-blade pushing screws of a changeable step to a tail part of the fuselage. The rotor has received the mechanism of preliminary promotion with selection of power from the main power plant. The autogyro chassis which are cleaning up three-wheeled with a nasal wheel. The design allowed to put blades on vertical hinges back that together with lifting consoles was very valuable when transporting A-7.

Rare model hard to apply in the mod.

IMHO, this unit can be interesting to big epic mods.
Interesting idea but I have no model of it at the moment.

But the Americans never put these japanese aircraft into service. They were only testflewn to find their strenghts and weaknesses.
China, (North)Korea and Indonesia on the other hand put captured (or left behind) japanese aircraft as regular part of their airforces into service.
Thailand was the only independent state to purchase japanese aircraft before and during the war.
Both sides in the chinese civil war used japaneses equiptment (Delta has allready done some chinese planes
).
Also Indonesia uses them in their war for independence from the Netherlands.
