Ki61 much dangerous opponent for USN than A6Ms but most "japs" fly in Zero and whine that nobody turnfight with them :rolleyes:
Ki still suck anyway, but at least it has chances to obtrude fight upon "blue planes".

Ki61 a lot like P51B, but most peeps don't recognize it.

I think the Ki-44 would be a fine fighter for 1943...and I do realise it does a few things better than a Ki-61 (accelerates way better, hmm, dunno about that), but...I have a problem with it being touted as "if we only had the Ki-44, PAC 43 setups would be so much better", because thats just bunk. Its *comparable* to a Ki-61, its not some uber plane. Yes, I would like to see it added in AH nonetheless. As for the Ki-43, that one too, but its hardly going to be a cure for an F4U-1, its just way too slow. I will say this again, in 1943 the best overall fighter in service with the IJ forces was the Ki-61 Tony, and its a "realistically workable" fighter vs the 1943 Allied fighter and bomber types.

I don't see the P-38F or the P-39D in the set either, so saying that the IJ set has all these holes in the planeset is just a bit choosey. There are holes in all the sets, thats too bad, but its just the way it is.

Yeah, me too.  And since I fly it most during weeks that aren't Pac setups in the CT, I get a heckuva lot more practice than you.

Moral of the story: We all have our faves. How about we not complain about the setups? just fly'em if you like'em; don't if you dont.

who is complaining??

:)

maybe a few more jap planes will make pac more interesting for me - maybe not

fwiw imo 2 weeks of any planeset/map is one week too long for CT

TrueKill, Fork and I flew F4Us for more than a few sorties and we had no problems landing kills in them while turning with the Zeros.  The only times I died were due to the great collision model in this latest patch which kills you within d100.  The allied flyers are just pansies thats all.  The F4U is a good enough turn fighter at full flaps working the throttle and using the rudder.

I have to disagree.  1v1, no it is not good enough.  However, when I fly Axis, I tend to see 4 or 5 high Allied planes bore n zooming 1 or 2 lower Axis planes.  In those situatiuons, yes, the F6F and F4U are manueverable enough to actually fight, but none of them ever do.

Just defeated 1 A6M and a Kate in the Kitty with no trouble at all and they both had alt advantage on me.  Landed the kills because I was all shot up then re-upped in the Hog and killed another A6M that had alt on me with an 800m long burst.  I took out his engine and he was forced to ditch giving me the kill.  I could have shot him down deadstick but opted to take the high road.

You allies are weenies.  Learn to fly your equipment.
