+ | The Ki-67 can be used in air arcade battles to an excellent extent. In Arcade Battles, it can use its bombs to effectively destroy many ground units, playing an important role in ticket count. To start, take the eight 100 kg bombs and dive to the deck. Stay away from the main group of fighters, as it is advisable to stay on the outside of the map to avoid fighter confrontation. Next, bomb any ground targets you see. Tanks and pillboxes can only be destroyed with direct hits, so use the manoeuvrability of this bomber to drop your bombs with precision. Do not drop bombs on bases, as your payload is not as big as that of heavy bombers. | ||
+ | [[File:Ki67-dorsal-turret.png|thumb|Ki-67's top gunner]] | ||
+ | In Air RB, the Ki-67 otsu does well in the ground attack role, but due to limited bombs, you'll need to make frequent trips back to the base. The strategy here is to target pillboxes and medium tanks with the 250 kg bombs. Remember to set a three to two second fuse on those bombs. To start, you'll need to head in for an attack run as fast as possible. Dive towards the ground targets and line up with the pillboxes. After dropping your four bombs, immediately return to the base, as enemy fighters will be closing in on you. Staying low is critical, as other fighters that dive in on you can be dragged lower to allow for allied interception. However, on certain Pacific maps, you'll need to take torpedoes. To effectively destroy the ships, you'll need to chose a target. At the start of the battle, note if your allies have equipped torpedoes. If no allies are present, head for the destroyers. They take one torpedo to kill. If multiple allies with torpedoes are present, communicate with your team to target the carriers. They are the most rewarding target to kill. | ||

+ | ;Enemies worth noting | ||
+ | |||
+ | * [[P-47 (Family)|P-47]] - The P-47 will be a major threat to this plane, as it is practically immune to your defensive guns. It will unleash eight fifty calls on your aircraft and make short work of you. To deal with this plane, turn. You can out-turn the P-47 and it will most likely disengage. | ||
+ | * [[Fw 190 (Family)|Fw 190]] - Same strategy as the P-47. You need to turn and evade the Mine-shells, while shooting at it. | ||
+ | * [[SM.91]] - The SM.91 is an opponent worth fearing as its six 20 mm cannons with the legendary German Minengeschoß rounds (mineshells) will easily tear through your plane. To avoid the SM.91 try climbing to a suitable altitude and gaining speed early on, as the SM.91's acceleration at high speeds is mediocre with it having a top speed of 585 km/h. Out-turning the SM.91 is also an option as its large design makes turning quite slow, with a turn time of up to 21 seconds. | ||

Description
The Ki-67-I otsu, designated as Type 4 Heavy Bomber Model 1B (四式重爆撃機甲), was the later main production variant of the Ki-67 with enhanced rear defensive firepower, which was designed to replace the Ki-49 and to be suitable for possible operations over the Manchurian-Siberia border. It was designed to be one of the most survivable and damage-resistant Japanese aircraft of the war, with self-sealing fuel tanks, armour and it was also highly manoeuvrable and capable of dive-bombing attacks. It entered service in October 1944 and was used in various roles, including conventional bombing and anti-shipping. With the Ki-67 being a very capable medium bomber platform, it was remodeled and modified for other special purposes, with projects ranging from simple bomb-role upgrades, interceptor (Ki-109), bomber escort, etc.. However, due to Allied bombing raids and production delays, only 767 Ki-67s were built before the end of the war.
Introduced in Update 1.67 "Assault", the Ki-67 otsu excels in many roles in which other Japanese bombers fail to live up to. This is one of the most formidable medium bombers out there, as it is fast, has great defensive capabilities, can mount a wide array of bombs and torpedoes, and has really good survivability.

Its payload isn't optimal to target bases alone, so it is advisable to target individual ground targets. The Ki-67 otsu differs from the previous model, the Ki-67 Ko, in rear of the aircraft. The Ki-67 otsu has a double tail gun configuration, giving it more defensive capabilities.

Survivability and armour
- 70 mm Bulletproof glass - Armoured windscreen
- 12.7 mm steel plate in the nose - protecting pilots
- 15.8 mm steel plate pilot seat
- 15.8 mm steel plate in mid fuselage - protecting dorsal gunner
- 7.9 mm steel plate in tail (belly only)
- Self sealing fuel tanks (in wings and mid fuselage)
The Ki-67 is one of the most sturdy Japanese aircraft in War Thunder. It has self sealing fuel tanks. It can take lots of punishment from .50 calibre rounds. However, when facing aircraft with cannons, it will quickly fall prey to HE rounds unless you take immediate evasive action.

Usage in battles
The Ki-67 can be used in air arcade battles to an excellent extent. In Arcade Battles, it can use its bombs to effectively destroy many ground units, playing an important role in ticket count. To start, take the eight 100 kg bombs and dive to the deck. Stay away from the main group of fighters, as it is advisable to stay on the outside of the map to avoid fighter confrontation. Next, bomb any ground targets you see. Tanks and pillboxes can only be destroyed with direct hits, so use the manoeuvrability of this bomber to drop your bombs with precision. Do not drop bombs on bases, as your payload is not as big as that of heavy bombers.
In Air RB, the Ki-67 otsu does well in the ground attack role, but due to limited bombs, you'll need to make frequent trips back to the base. The strategy here is to target pillboxes and medium tanks with the 250 kg bombs. Remember to set a three to two second fuse on those bombs. To start, you'll need to head in for an attack run as fast as possible. Dive towards the ground targets and line up with the pillboxes. After dropping your four bombs, immediately return to the base, as enemy fighters will be closing in on you. Staying low is critical, as other fighters that dive in on you can be dragged lower to allow for allied interception. However, on certain Pacific maps, you'll need to take torpedoes. To effectively destroy the ships, you'll need to chose a target. At the start of the battle, note if your allies have equipped torpedoes. If no allies are present, head for the destroyers. They take one torpedo to kill. If multiple allies with torpedoes are present, communicate with your team to target the carriers. They are the most rewarding target to kill.
- Enemies worth noting
- P-47 - The P-47 will be a major threat to this plane, as it is practically immune to your defensive guns. It will unleash eight fifty calls on your aircraft and make short work of you. To deal with this plane, turn. You can out-turn the P-47 and it will most likely disengage.
- Fw 190 - Same strategy as the P-47. You need to turn and evade the Mine-shells, while shooting at it.
- SM.91 - The SM.91 is an opponent worth fearing as its six 20 mm cannons with the legendary German Minengeschoß rounds (mineshells) will easily tear through your plane. To avoid the SM.91 try climbing to a suitable altitude and gaining speed early on, as the SM.91's acceleration at high speeds is mediocre with it having a top speed of 585 km/h. Out-turning the SM.91 is also an option as its large design makes turning quite slow, with a turn time of up to 21 seconds.

The Ki-67 is equipped with two powerful radial engines. They also come with a two-stage supercharger. The propeller pitch should be used at 90%-100% when on WEP. Lower the propeller pitch to 90% when at high speeds. The radiators can be kept at 10-20%, and the supercharger can be activated at 3.5 km (11k ft), and the mixture can be set to the following at each specific altitude:
- Sea Level: 100%-110% Mixture
- 3,000 feet (914 m): 92% Mixture
- 6,000 feet (1,828 m): 84% Mixture
- 10,000 feet (3,048 m): 70% Mixture
- 15,000 feet (4,572 m): 60% Mixture
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Regular Japanese torpedo as option
- Torpedo has the highest drop speed in the game at 350 mph (580 km/h) and is one of the most feared torpedoes in Naval Battles
- Good armour protection for pilot
- Decent turn time for a bomber
- Decent climb rate for a bomber
Cons:
- Regular Japanese army bomber ordnance
- Max weight of 800 kg (8 x 100 kg or 800 kg bomb)
- Big target for naval battles
- Japanese aerial torpedoes have the shortest range of all aerial torpedoes
- Poor armour protection for back gunners
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main
