what about payload guy.......and high alt preformance........guns arent good further then 400........very poor handling at high speed.........not good at taking damage.......just a few reasons ill give you as a person who flys the KI84 as a main ride
Oh and if it is so ubber why dont you see many flying around? last time i saw a enemy KI was atleast 4 days ago
It's pretty close to uber junky, I used to fly it exclusively. Let me go through the points you just made if you don't mind.
Payload: moot point since it is a pure fighter. Spit16, Spit14,La7, N1k all have poor payloads as well but it's irrelevant. (I'm assuming you meant ordnance carrying capacity)
High Alt performance: True, it isn't very good above 20k, but what percentage of your engagements occur at 20k+... Less than 1%? Again, moot point.
Guns Aren't Good Further than 400 Out: I Lol'd when I read this because the only guns that are good further than 400 out are 50 cals and hispanos. I can't hit anything in the Ta152 or Me262 further than 300yds out but they have some of the most lethal guns in the game. Who wants to be firing and recording kills 400+ out anyways? 99% of my kills are had within 200yds.
Not Good at Taking Damage: I always thought it was at least average at taking damage TBH but I have no evidence to back up my feeling.
Poor Handling at High Speeds: This is the only reason you listed that is a valid handicap of the aircraft. But how much of a handicap is it really? So you can't go nose down and chase enemies who dive to the deck, this isn't really that big of a deal. Staying high, using the absurd climb rate, and killing the slow planes climbing up to you stalling out is where the kills are. Not chasing down P51Ds going 500+ on the deck. The only other handicap you failed to mention was its deck speed which honestly isn't a big deal since it climbs so well. Why try to outrun an enemy when you can just outclimb him?
As far as 1v1's go, it pretty much dominates every single LW aircraft in the game except for the uber spits. So lets go through the checklist. Great guns, lots of ammo, incredible climb rate, incredible turn rate, incredible stability, incredible endurance. Would I call the Ki84 "uber"? I just might.
