 The Ki-84 is probably the only plane which can play the P-38 at its own game, better than any other in the set... but it still can be a tough challenge depending on the pilot.


He he, this is the MA you are talking about.  Most will die trying to rop the Ki.  The good, would proly kill you any plane any way.

Before the merge go nose down a few degrees and wep on.  At about 1K to 800 pull up.  You can do the spiral clime if you want but you can try and make the spit think you are going to turn with him.  Complete an imel and then pull up again and go into the spiral clime.  If the fight started at a reasonable spit for the Spit hell be slow and below you.

In short, equal pilots and startign co e, all the spit can do is run for the ack.

Very true D, in the MA about the only plane that starts me sweating is the Ki84 when I am in a Spit 5.

Forgot to mention that it takes a while to get used to the KI and what it can do for you, but I guess that goes for every plane also.
