Armament, protection, engine power, cockpit visibility.

What?  You thought it would be different for Ki-61s than it is for Bf109s, Fw190s, P-51s and Spitfires?

I am not an expert on Ki-61s, but I think the Ki-61-II is a very nice looking fighter and I would use it.  I am not so fond of the Ki-100.

I'm quite familiar with the 84. As for the 61, I fin it a terrible
plane. I'm just wanting to know what do the other variants bring to the table in against the 61-1

Well, I'd like to see the initial Ki-61-I. Depending on the source, its take-off weight would be 750 - 1146lbs (depending on the source) lighter than the Ki-61-Tei we have now while having practically the same power output. It would therefore have more livelier performance.

Just wanted to mention that that low back Ki-61-II pictured in the recent thread was a single prototype. The low number of Ki-61-IIs that got produced had a high back:

Wow!  :bhead

The Ki-61 is a great plane when flown to its strengths.  Can dive, turns well, adequate guns, good nose over view.  I mean, what else do you need?

Unless you compare the Me163 nothing is going to compare to the Bf109K-4 in the vertical, the best Spitfires can merely match it.  If you keep up that comparison you're just going to be disappointed by everything.  :p

I am rather biased when it comes to going vertical. Besides, it's not even German :old:
