Reppuu Model 11
Introduction
名機「零戦」の後継機として開発された最新鋭艦上戦闘機「烈風」。その性能向上型が「烈風改」です。 レシプロ艦上戦闘機として、究極の領域まで高められた秘めた戦闘能力を、提督の艦隊の防空や制空でぜひ発揮させてくださいね。 最近、数十年の時を越えて、設計図が発見されたニュースもありました！
The name of the state-of-the-art machine that was developed to be the successor of the "Zero" carrier-based fighter, is "Reppuu". This is the improved performance type, "Reppuu Kai". As a reciprocating carrier-based fighter, its latent combat capabilities have been raised to the apex, for Admirals' fleet air-defense and air-control. Recently, after several decades, there was news that the design documents were discovered!

Historical Information
The A7M3-J Reppū-kai (Strong Gale, Modified) is a proposed interceptor variant of the A7M2 Reppū with an increased maximum speed of 648km/h using a 2,200hp forced-induction version of the Mitsubishi MK9 and an armament consisting of six 30mm cannons. A working prototype was never produced, as the A7M2's design documents were lost in the bombing raids of March 1944.
