Japan had necessary know-how to develop successful turbojet engines and had some theoretical work done on turbofans with promising results. They had researched necessary heat-resistant materials (Report X-13), fuels (Report X-38) and general theoretical work (Report X-39). Claiming it a "failure" when they never had the ability to gather practical data and complete the engine due to obvious reasons, is at best foolish and rash. Since the game does not state actual model the engine in question might be final and practical model, not proof of concept that Japanese have built. The game already gave US N torpedoes which dud rates from 73% at the start of the war to 41% in late war and small charge ridiculously high torpedo stat, possibly implying Abyss fixed problems that US N never managed to fix, the reserve — with fairies finishing the development of the turbojet — is in similar situation.
