care to put that to the test?
equal E,...... Equal pilots......the dora, if he fights...will lose every time....if the Ki stick is a fighter with lots of experience the Dora will die very quickly.
of course thats my opinion, I am very willing to put it to the test........
oh wait......... I have, many times over....
we can test it if ya like?
"if he fights the way I want him to fight me" you mean.
The Dora can handle dives and extreme speeds better, and also has better top speed once ya get there, but if you try turning with a plane that can out-turn you and then also out-accelerate you, you're doing it wrong. The KI is also one of the few planes in this game that has a superior WEP to the Dora, so that's another ace for the KI.
What I'm trying to figure out is how you guys get those lazer-beam shots beyond 500 that rip chunks off your enemie's ac like they do to mine.
But yes, a Dora is quite capable of BnZing an 84 to death, I have, many times over. Since the only thing the Dora does worse than sustaining a turn is bleeding off the E/speed when you force it to, the BnZ is kinda it's SOP against most aircraft.
The KI-84 is fun and can beat most planes in a knife fight or if they try to run away useing pure acceleration. I'm also use to receiving plenty from enemies BnZing me while in a Dora, so it's nothing new to me in the KI to keep an eye open and just sit around and wait for them to come down and make a mistake.... only difference is when they do it and I'm in a KI84, it gets over with a lot quicker since very quickly I can outmaneuver them and then if they try to run I can also usually overtake them.
