  Cheap aeroplanes.  Try the Spitfires instead... they can handle it.

I like the spits, great for fighting the Gangs...the responsiveness in them is awesome....but sadly you will never be able to really utilize it....until you get out of it and learn how to use proper ACM.....if you stayed out of the spits for at least 4 months, then went back and flew the spits....you would be far more dangerous in one.

I am not aware of the historical Ki-84 having problems retaining control surfaces like the one in AH.

Spit14 was the first plane I pulled the wings off in a dive. Going 450mph, give or take 10mph.

Have never lost parts on a Spitfire due to speed.  Only in very high G turns have I lost the wings.  Ki84, you go too fast, it falls apart.

Really?

there has to be something there why would HTC program that in otherwise?

I am not sure honestly I am not a WW2 history buff or plane expert by any means...hell I only really knew of the p40 and 51's before I came to AH....

Never lost parts in a dive with a Ki-84...you wanna switch bodies for a day Midway?

"The Ki-84 simply doesn’t handle anything over 400mph well and by 475mph you may start shedding aircraft components."

Seen it happen many times.

I've looked for it but never found it.

That said, the Mosquito Mk VI in AH also sheds control surfaces and likewise I've never found a reason for it.  The Mosquito Mk XVI, which uses the same tail as the Mk VI and the same stronger wing introduced with Mk VI, does not shed control surfaces in AH.

I am not sure the reasoning behind these things.

   I think I can make it happen any time you want to join my KI84.  Think the ailerons or elevators are the first to rip off.  Maybe you avoid those speeds, but I'm use to high speeds chasing runstangs in my Spitfire.  I actually flew the KI for a couple weeks, but got frustrated with it falling apart on me.

Don't let yourself over speed in a dive and you won't have to worry about parts falling off.

I want to catch the runstangs... have to go fast, ergo Spitfire better than KI for that purpose, among others.
