Hi guys!

From Readme: "Modeled Ki-44-II subtypes Ko, Otsu and Hei with their historical armament and loadouts.
It improves historical accuracy of armament and loadouts, setting them respectively as follows: Armament * Ko: two 7.7 mm Type 89 machine guns (synchronized) firing through the propeller with 500 r.p.g. and two 12.7 mm Ho-103 machine guns in the wings with 250 r.p.g. * Otsu: two 12.7 mm Ho-103 machine guns (synchronized) firing through the propeller with 250 r.p.g.. Provisions for two 40 mm Ho-301 cannons in the wings with 10 r.p.g. *Hei: two 12.7 mm Ho-103 machine guns (synchronized) firing through the propeller with 250 r.p.g. and two 12.7 mm Ho-103 machine guns in the wings with 250 r.p.g.. Loadouts * All Ki-44-II models: either two 30-50-100 kg bombs or two 130L drop tanks.
A special mention deserves the Ho-301 40 mm cannon, using caseless ammunition.
Its muzzle velocity was reduced to 220 m/s and rate of fire increased to 400 rounds/min, as historical.
FYI, muzzle velocity was 240 m/s and rate of fire 150 rounds/min. Actually, sources are contradictory and figures respectively vary from 220 to 246 and from 400 to 475; we trusted in Japanese Wikipedia, being probably other sources derived from Allied tests, instead of genuine ones.
Also with "only" 400 rounds per minute, you'll empty your magazine in 1.5 seconds! :o So, choose carefully your target and aim accurately! :D
Default version of Otsu has been correctly modeled without any wing weapon:

and eventually Hei got its historical reflector gunsight!

Tested successfully only with 4.09 + UP2.01! It shouldn't have compatibility issues with any ModAct environment, though, if any other Ki-44-II has been installed. For same reason, modpacks like DBW or HSFX, containing by default Tainan's Ki-44 (IIRC), could cause troubles if this pack is installed. Any feedback would be highly welcomed! ;)
