At the same time the Kawanishi H6K was going into service in 1938 the Navy ordered the development of a larger, longer-ranged patrol aircraft. The result was the H8K which was one of the best if not the best flying boat of World War II. It was in service from 1942 till the end of the War during which it earned deep respect among Allied aircrews. Unlike many other Japanese airplanes "Emily" could take quite a beating and its defensive armament was pretty impressive as well.
Available in FHSW will be the main variant H8K2 which had improved engines and armament. Possible bomb load configurations are
- 2x 800 kg bomb
- 8x 250 kg bomb
- 16x 60 kg bomblet
- 2x torpedo
So the Japanese airforce in FHSW finally receives a four-engined bomber with a high bombload that can close the gap to the B-17 a bit.
It's equipped with an Air to Surface Vessel (ASV) radar which means for FHSW you have the rare ability to detect ships and submarines from air. Besides the pilot five seats are available and each one has a 20 mm gun. Even late American fighters can get into trouble when attacking a fully crewed "Emily"! There's no defensive armament on the underside of the plane so it's the safest to attack from below.
Look forward to version 0.6 to fly this magnificent airplane!

Oh my god! I love this plane! You guys need H6K as well!
ohhh fkshit.. i'm missing this game more than anything else... i'm fkng unable to run it on my laptop with windows 8.1
is there any way so i may become a part of this great game again? any solution to run game on my wide screen laptop with windows 8.1?
Sadly I have no experience with Win 8.1. But the first thing I would do is replace the original .exe with the improved one created by the community: Origin: Team-simple.org CD: Team-simple.org
Great to see the Emily, and I can't wait to fly this one.
The first time I've seen this flying boat was from episode "File.01 - And so they met" on You're under arrest OVA... ;)
That looks awesome, I literally only recently learned about FHSW and the cool naval battles you can have so I got downloading it and will try it online soon, I hope people are still playing, those naval battles look awesome from videos I've seen but that was years ago, I'm really late to this mod...
Hi, yea the naval battles are very unique to this mod. If you're serious about playing I recommend visiting our site since we only play on specific times (it's the only active server for FHSW outside of Japan): Fhsw-europ.ucoz.de
Thanks, I already played a little of the game today, absolutely incredible mod although I didn't play any naval maps yet, but I love it already, can't wait for the Sunday event!
Thats really awesome best Wargeame Ever! YOu can do what you want in this world, fly, going by ship, tanks, run over the trenches woods and desert. I love this game so much!
