As stated, 'fear' isn't the right word.... It's a game and it's fun, so fear doesn't come into it.

Having said that, I do agree with the OP, the Ki-84 is the greatest challenge for me, it's one of the few fighters that can take the fight to the 109 in the verticle. It really comes down to a pilot versus pilot fight and if I want to get out of a tight 1v1 with a Ki-84 I know that I have to make all the right moves... no mistakes and no missed shots.

Typically, Ki-84 pilots have a little more skill than your average dork in a Spit16 or La7 too, so I always go into the fight assuming that the guy has a decent idea about what he is doing.

Hee hee, seeing how my ride is the usually a Frank, I would like to say everything he did but replace Ki84 with 109K or 109F.  Funny stuff.

Well, that makes perfect sense. Both the Ki-84 and 109 have similar strengths which usually open up avenues of opportunity whilst fighting against other aircraft that do not float so well.

It's good to know that I'm as much of a pain in the butt for Frank pilots as they are for me, though.  :lol

If you have any alt to use, a KI84 is easy to disengage from. Point your nose at the ground & haul arse. The KI controls get pretty heavy at high speeds & then they start shedding parts. Simply get a little separation & re-engage.
Lets keep the stupid to a minimum.

no plane, just timidity.

would not call it fear but more a sense of how the fight will end up. high hurris and zero's cause me to lean a little more towards thinking that i am about to see the short trip to the tower but that does not stop me from fighting anyway, sometimes we all get a little lucky.
