IJA fighter aircraft in alternate universe
The "Ki-170" (Type 4 single-seater attack aircraft)
It was developed with the idea of using its excellent speed to evade enemy interception while penetrating their defense at low altitudes, attacking enemy vehicles with its high-powered guns, and then withdraw.
It is equipped with a single 37 mm BK 3.7 autocannon imported from Germany and a single 20mm Ho-5 autocannon under the nose.
