in a way they changed the standard reppuu into a prototype and the improved reppuu into the standard one (model 1 version 1)

this kind of opens up the devs to make improved reppuu, tho they only announced the early model (hoping that thing wont just be obelete at arrival, or it needs to be pretty easy to get so its good for new players) Orange Reppu probably will be dedicated Akagi K2 plane with intermediate stats and fit bonuses. Something like 9 base AA +2AA when equipped by Akagi K2. That way it still be useful without being unreasonably OP.

I'm not so sure about improved Reppu. Name changes are more about clearing confusion: historical (though never completed) Reppu Kai was going to be a heavily armed, land-based high-altitude interceptor.Quite a different beast from the in-game Reppu Kai.
