I tried ki43 in the MA and it is a joy on the deck. I took vudu's advice and used lag pursuit. I finally landed 2 kills in one sortie and one was Tongs. I got lucky and caught his KI61 low and slow. I say lucky because I only have mouse, no stick or pedals.
 
 Tongs for a very fun fight. 

 vudu15 for you informative videos
