Thank you Mike! I searched his album but could not find that!
"We do not stop playing when we get old, but we get old when we stop playing."
Sorry for the thread necromancy, but I'm interested in getting some Ki-27 Nates to fly versus my WoG P-40 Warhawks for some late 1941 / early 1942 action.
I found the Ki-27 card in the downloads section, but see it's using the D deck... same as the F4F Wildcat ??
The Nate was extremely maneuverable, by popular demand of the Japanese pilots whose input helped define the specification for the plane. It was definitely far more maneuverable (tighter turning) and slower than the F4F, was it not?
So... the D deck doesn't seem right... I'd think it'd be more along the lines of a Gloster Gladiator / Fiat CR.42 biplane deck if anything?
I also found one using the B deck: https://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/do...do=file&id=339
That's the same deck the Bf.109E uses, which was a plane capable of ~360mph in level flight. Definitely way out of scope for the ~290mph Ki-27 Nate!!
Not trying to stir the pot here, but just curious what other people are using for this plane.

In the unofficial stats that Karl did he shows the NATE as a J deck.
Thank you, Bob; do you have a link? I've been looking and, for whatever reason, unable to find the WWII unofficial stats.
EDIT: Strike that, I just dug around in Google Drive and I apparently found a copy of the Nov 2016 XLS file at some point back in April of this year. Can't remember now where or how I dug it up, but I've got it! LOL

WW2 unofficial stats are 'HERE'.
There is a great treasure trove of material in the files but sadly the lack of organization makes it sometimes impossible to find.
It would be helpful if Keith could create a new subdirectory within the WWII files to house the unofficial rules, similar to what has been done for WWI. That would make them easier to find
Thank you!
Just as a warning, all the cards in my albums were made by Max Headroom, and are posted there because most of his were lost from the files due to the Great Hacking several years ago.
Being a serial downloader, most of his cards were safe in my computer. I reposted them so 'Drome members didn't lose such great work.
Since he did them back in the Nexus days, there were only a few decks to use. Since then, the Unofficial Committee has many more decks to use, so
in all cases, those cards should have they decks checked via the Unofficial Committee files.

Ive ordered some Nates from AIM and some decals from MiscMini... can’t wait to get them on the table to fight off those foreign mercenary Flying Tigers with their P-40s
I've found a bunch of cards for the Nakajima Ki-27 Nate, but was wondering if anyone would care to make a card for this particular plane?
Looking for "official" color references for the camo scheme, I'm not having any luck finding your particular plane, nor a scheme to match. I did find this:
PS: Every version of this plane I found had a different camo pattern, in different colors (Decal sheets, model plane examples, historical references...).

Is this any help?
Close?
PS: Posted before I saw Post #13 (Which uses black instead of the dark green on the model).

Great card Mike.
Another excellent card! Thanks Mike!
Nice job, Mike.
I might need to paint some Nates
