As I expected, Ki-61-1KAIc is really beautiful, but it has really poor power loading, slow speed, and slow climb rate.
In Dueling Arena, I couldn't track blade's spit9 for shooting in scissors (it means I tried to track him for shooting, but he went high and I couldn't chase).

So if you wanna dogfight in Hien, you should wait early Ki-61 (it's lighter) or Ki-100 (same speed, but it has better fire power, weight balance and power loading).
By the way, IJA fans wanna cry "WE WANT Ki-84 (US TEST VERSION) IN AH!!!" now...?
