IMHO, two new informations are very interesting:
- There is no Ki-84c (with 2x30 and 2x 20mm cannons) serial production. Only prototype were made.
-Hayate units in Philippines used 'Koku 95 Kihatsuyu' (95 octane) fuel. Standard was Koku 91 Kihatsuyo (91 octane) or Koku 87 Kihatsuyo (87 octane) fuel.
This made the 109 factory much more succeptable to Allied bombing than the 190 production facilities

Interestingly the V-1 project cost was estimated at 200 million dollars and the V-2 at 2,000 million dollars! They factor in all the transport, construction, support personnel costs etc, to calculate 3 billion for the 2 weapons programs. Curiously enough that about the same or more than the Manhattan Project cost!
