We had a big go around on the forums when that article was first presented here.  Krusty claimed it applied to all Ki-43s and others said it was about Ki-43-Is only.

Sorry if I came off as cutting you off at the knees.

No problem -- in fact, thank you for pointing that out.  It's an important point.

I edited my above post to correct it.

No, the article is specific to Ki-43-Is.  It doesn't address Ki-43-IIs or Ki-43-IIIs.

The reason I posted that link for Brooke is that it mentioned some of the issues with the various guns used on the Oscar, like the unreliability of the Ho-103 cannon.

In aces high everything is perfect - Panther tanks, Tigers and King Tigers. If it was realistic we would have engines quitting, engines acting retarded - I can see it would piss off so many people they would quit.

I brought it up a few years back asking for a "realistic" arena, however the idea was shot down based on its already a steep enough learning curve, throw in some major malfunctions and people would rage quit.

Perhaps even a bigger issue than mechanical failures was the danger of weather.

I didn't post it to show there was something wrong with the guns in game.  I found the article to be interesting as it explained why the Ki-43 had various gun packages and issues with the guns.
