better yes, but 'much better'? the Ki84 has more ammo and some of the guns are centerline, which is a huge plus.

My collegues forgot to mention that the Ki can fly to hell and back with 50% fuel, while a spit will barely get off the runway  :D

Hispanos/50's = peanut butter and chocolate.

Jap cannons/machine guns = Ike and Tina.

Center mounting is only awesome if all guns are mounted in the center.    :old:

Thanks Nikon.  But i still cant beat you    :frown:
 
I tried the 109F lately.  Although maneuvers really well, its the gun solution that im having problems.  I just cant finish the enemy!  Plus the view from the rear is obstructed worse than the k4 (i dont use the hat switch so its difficult to get an oblique view right away).  Maybe will try to practice this plane a bit more as Latrobe has been doing lots of killings with it.  <S>

In this last week alone you have figured out how to hold onto your E better .. so its making it harder and harder to get you :)

Happy to DA with you anytime you want to try new stuff as teaching and learning from others is what I find the most satisfying.
