I don't care if it does look funny with the post missing, it was not funny. It was over the top, so I deleted it.

This is the only time that it has been over the top. I am not going to raise a big stink about it, just a friendly reminder that we get all types of people from all over the world here.

Hmm, that's very hard to say.
Japan had some excellent engineering, but they lacked materials and alloy technology and the machine tools technology necessary to build state-of-the-art aircraft, expecially near the end of the war. The Soviets also had some excellent engineers, and near the end of the war they recieved both machine tools and high-quality alloys from the USA via lend-lease.
Personally, I think the Ki-84 was as good as anything the Soviets produced during the war, though the La-7 would be competative for sure. On the otherhand, the Tu-2 was certainly superior to any bomber the Japanese produced. So overall, technology wise, I'd say they were pretty even. Production wise, the Soviets had them beat many times over.

The Japnese jumped onto the the bomber scene a bit late in my opinion.
I will agree with RG that they had excellent engineering but lacked the recources.
As for the Soviets, I think they were just concentrating on building what they needed to survive and stop the Germans. The fact that Stalin had his fingers all over the Soviet R&D did not help, just as it did not help the Germans that Hilter was too involved.

By the way, Germany was also lack of natural resources, but where they got their oil and mental from? I meant that Japan and Germany are overpopulated and almost no sustainable resources. But, why Germany was able to sustain much longer than Japanese did? and why Germany was much dangerous than Japan in WWII?

Well, first off Japan had much less land for about the same population and Germany/Austria. Germany/Austria/Poland/Rumania/Hungary/etc... is much richer in metals and other resources (including oil) than Japan. Germany/Austria proper also had relatively large supplies of coal which allowed them to produce "synthetic" fuel, Japan did not. And Germany was also more widely industrialized than Japan. Japan had to import almost all resources via ship, which were extremely vulnerable to US planes and submarines. Germany was able to use rail and truck transport, which until the very end of the war was still somewhat functional. Rail and truck transport can shutdown and hide during the day, ships en-route cannot.
Germany actually did a very poor job of managing its war economy. Japan did much better, but it had less to work with. Had Germany properly mobilized its economy for war before mid-1944 they might actually have won. However, the German people were bought off with the economic benefits provided by the Nazi's, and Hitler was unwilling to risk loosing their support by withdrawing this until it was far far too late.

Like the Italians, the Japanese had fine planes but rubbish engines to power them.

Why Japan failed to industrialize in pre-WWII in comparison with Germany?
Natural resources may played a role, but I dont think its a critical one. We know that Japan is the second most powerful economy after US now. And it is also one of the most technological advanced nation on earth; has more R&D than Germany and any European nation.
The problem that I dont understand is that why Japan was weak in terms of industrial capacity, but became such powerful economy in post-WWII era. I recalled my Political Science class last year that during 1980s and early 1990s, Japanese economy was so powerful that 10 of the world largest banks were Japaense and the real estate of Imperal Palace was equivalent to the real estate of whole California.
But, why Japan wasnt in such state prior and during WWII? It had already industrialized for over fifty years now afer Meiji revolution in late 19th century.
