Ki-84 vs. Brain Surgery

[DmonSlyr]

Ki84 is greeeaaatttt!!! One of my most favorite planes in AH. The other one of my most fav planes is the F4U. And you know what? The F4U out turns and beats the ki84 in a 1v1 fight. I call it the best match up in AH.

F4U-4 vs Ki84 in a vertical Scissors is a sight to behold. The other Hogs can keep up with the KI84 in the Horizontal but the KI destroys them once the fight goes nose up.

Still all the F4Us have the distinct advantage in top speed and Diving, were as the Ki84 is more like the 109 in the sense that it can't BnZ very effectively.

KI-84 is a great plane, but something keeps it from being used as much as other "great" planes.

Nope.. It still loses. F4u1a, dhog. 4hog and Chog. They all beat the Ki84, because it the hog floats better

Well than the -1 and -4 are all that I'll speak for than since those are the only hogs I've flown for the past couple months.

I don't know about that. . .

A Dhog and Ahog don't have the climb power for the Ki84 in the spiral climb.

Unlike spits and 109s, the ki84 can take a brief snapshot or two. Dangerous plane for the Blue Birds for sure.

Spits and 109's don't even have the climb power, not even the K4.
The K4 torque kills it in the spiral climb against the torque.

Any Ki84 pilot that knows an once of what he is doing is dangerous. The F4U4 may have the engine power but it won't hang with a KI straight up and down, maybe in a slightly angled vertical fight but in a 90* fight, the Ki will win.

The C.202 needs to be perked to hell...

Probably the big red meatball on the wing.

You would have to fly perfectly in the vert to out do a f4u. Other than that, a f4u wins. I had this fight a long time ago in H2H to prove a point.

Spit 16, Spit 8 and the later 109s all out climb the KI84.  It hangs great but plenty of planes out climb it and in a close quarters fight an F4U that gets his nose up for few seconds while in range can get guns on before the KI gets out of range.

Big fan of the Ki-84.  Poor high speed handling means you're forced to mix it up... my style

[ink]

hate to disagree with my squadie....but the Ki84 will destroy the F4U's.....

yes a well driven F4U can be difficult to beat, but that can be said for most any plane.

 even E at start and if the F4U sticks around and actually fights.... the ki just needs to get it slow.... then turn it into a climbing fight...the F4U can not keep up.

anyone who flies the Ki worth his salt knows the Ki is a vertical monster...very few planes can keep up.


yes I admit I miss flying the Beast.

Never flown it in game.. but does really everything pretty nice.. considering it, haha don't know if its thats really a good or bad..
