WPMILHIST Assessment
[edit]Good length, though most of that length is tech specs. Could probably benefit from an infobox. LordAmeth 10:15, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
Assessment comment

Not a start class article. It is very short and does nothing to describe the Ki-44's difficult and protracted development. The first section is okay as far as it goes, which is not very far. There are some very basic grammar problems in the history section of the article, and the "other variants" section is in dire need of rewriting. Needs an infobox and references.

Survivors
[edit]Surviving centre wing section at Northwestern Polytechnical University Aviation Museum, at Xi'an in China... I cannot find any mention of this online, except this wikipedia article, at best it is citation needed, though with no proof surely it should go? 2A02:C7D:4697:7700:B1B4:4636:5A49:D785 (talk) 14:46, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
Sources on the Ki-44-II otsu/hei naming and the usage of 20mm cannons
[edit]As of writing this, the variants outlined in the Variants section are in line with those mentioned in The Complete Encyclopedia of World Aircraft by David Donald and a few other sources in English literature, however the information seems in conflict with some other sources in English and Japanese literature. It doesn't make much sense that the otsu variant (キ44-II乙) comes after the hei variant (キ44-II丙) in terms of serial number, equipment used (telescopic sight vs reflex sight), and defies the logic of Japanese naming convention. It seems like good faith edits in the past slipped past me due to having uncommented edits.
Also, I have not been able to find references to usage of
two 12.7mm guns and two 20 mm cannons
on production aircraft. The cited source seems to be Aircraft of World War II by Jeffrey L. Ethell. Could someone provide me with the exact quote to which this can be concluded from? I have not found a reference to such armament configuration.
So there are many inconsistencies in David Donald's book concerning Japanese aircraft so I've changed it such that it is more inline with IJAAF naming scheme and makes more sense. Until a more reliable source comes up, I believe it should as I've edited back to. Mikechou2 (talk) 05:28, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
