Ki-43 would be vastly more relevant and useful rather than finding some reason to eek in an extremely rare aircraft.  Ki-44 would also be more relevant.

Heck, G.55 and maybe ever Re2005 would be more relevant.

I've shot down aircraft with a D3A.  Trust me, the Ki-43 is quite capable of shooting down any fighter.  B-17s or Lancasters might be a bit rough.

Ki-44 would be more capable of shooting things down than this, let alone the G.55.

My thought's exactly. Actually was based off of the P-35, and the jug was based off the P-43. Always cool seeing airframes evolve

It was Republic's precursor to the P-47, turbocharged with an amazing ceiling and 4 .50's.

Ki-43 w 2x 7.7mm or one 7.7mm and 12.7mm no armor and no self sealing tanks~LOL 286kt max speed and 11k service ceiling. I suppose AHII could use a target drone. Same firepower as the D3A~ could just keep substituting that.

Ki-43-I is 70mph faster than the D3A1, fyi.  You're "11k service ceiling" might be 11k meters.

Ki-43-II: two 12.7mm machine guns and about 330mph, self sealing tanks as well.

Oh, 5900 Ki-43s were built.  How many P-43s were built?

+1 to the Lancer.   :aok
+1 to allowing HTC to decide it's priority for conclusion.  :aok
+1 to those who always offer options to folks plane & vehicle wish requests.  :rolleyes:

Olds442,

The P-47M required 0% additional artwork out of HTC.  The P-43 would require 100% new artwork.  The two are not remotely comparable and you are being disingenuous in suggest that they are.

I really think this one needs to be way down the list - there are a LOT of Axis and Russian rides that I would rather see first.
