Oscar KI43

We have 3 x Zeros but no Oscar but my research suggests it was also a very important Japanese fighter. Ok it won''t turn up in the MA but we do have allot of MA fighters and for early war scenatio's wouldn't this be a great addition?.

It would be a more common ride than you'd think in the MA. It ought to out turn just about anything else and that gives it a niche to fill. Would be a pain in the behind to Hurri, Brewster and A6M drivers I suspect.

Yeh, but good luck killing a Brewster with 2 .30 cals, I usually need 2 or 3 passes with the Hispanos and TONS of hits to kill a Brew with 20mm's, can only imagine it would be a long protracted affair to do it with those pellet guns.....

Sorry to be blunt, but you are dead wrong. 

The Nakajima Ki-43 Hayabusa (Allied reporting name "Oscar") was produced in greater numbers than any other IJA plane (5,900+) and served on every front for the entire duration of the war.
