No, it'd only have 150 rounds per gun, and with the Ho-5s are the fastest firing 20mm cannon in AH whereas the Type 99 Model IIs are the slowest firing.
I think it would boost the Ki-84's popularity, bit not really at the expense of the N1K2-J's.
CristCAF,
No, just getting really tired of people's favortism and anti-Spitfire crap.
