Well, it comes down to min/max again. I flew the Ki-84 pretty damn exclusively for a tour or so. It doesn't suck. In fact, it is almost as manueverable as a Spit 5 is.

Unfortunately, it lacks Hispanos, which is a big - in the - column, and it is almost as manueverable as the Spit 5, which is another -.

The pluses don't outweigh those two minuses.

sooo... in a timid arena of horde warriors.... the top three planes (k/d)are very fast planes with cannon with good acceleation and climb so that they can run away well after they take their sissy little kick at someone who has nodded off from the lack of action?

wonder what the top planes for kills per hour are?

I find it interesting that the Spit9 has a sub 1.0 K/D and that its got a lower K/D then the SpitV.

Personally I score about 2x higher K/D in Spit9 over Spit5.

Though that can be just a matter of personal taste as I like to use the vertical more then the SpitV allows me.

That would be those same planes doing the endless BnZ runs on runway vulch duty.
EVEN when you are on their butt shooting at them they will ignore the hits and TOTALLY focus on these strafing runs.
Last night i had the misfortune to be chasing first a N1k and then a zeke doing this.
I had upped a spitV to defend a capped base, 5 kills later i was down to the 4 303s, chased the N1k and the zeke pinging away and they took NO evasive action whatsoever.
Totally fixated on runway strafing with no desire or ability to actually defend themselves or god forbid actually attack a flying target.

Sad.

If a pilots objective is to de-ack and/or pork troops, radar and/or ord then I actually do respect that they ignore fighters.

If he is just vulching the he is a sad sad person.
