The key to beating a Ki-84 in a P-38L is to keep the fight fast.  The Ki-84 can't match the high speed turning ability of the P-38.  Once the fight slows down to 150mph IAS where the Ki-84 can use its flaps, it can give the P-38 a run for its money in a slow/stall speed fight.

Same thing you see with players flying the Spitfire MkXVI.

If they modeled the Ki84 correctly, the enigines would burn out at high RPMs.
More IJN pilots died of engine failure, than were shot down.

Frank or Ki84 Hayate  was a Army plane designed to kill high bombers (B 29s)
and to defend Jpn metropolitan mother land.

It had nothing to do with navy and CVs.

Well it was an army plane so I doubt all that many navy pilots died from engine fires in it ;)


Ki84 pwns the P38 all day long although the P38 is one of the planes that can fight it best. Spit 16 probarly comes closer but the spit 16 is far easier to fly then both the 84 and 38 so that doesn't count :p


Like AKAK said, the key is to keep the fight fast. Problem is that keeping a fight fast often results in a boring fight (since 99.999% of the AH people can't aim unless they get to cherry pick a 100mph target).

And like Grits said, there are very few people who can actually use the Ki84 to its fullest.

Just dusted a Ki84 on the deck yesterday in a P47N.  Choice of combat was mine.  Jug turns very well slow, and can easily accelerate away if need be.

P47n so uber
When I die bury me in a P38.

I watch day after day, week after week, tour after tour, the Bishops and Rooks take bases and win maps while the Knights stand there with their thumbs stuck in their butts. It's just pathetic!
