Not a whine...BUT... why the Ki-61 as opposed to the Ki-84? Just very curious.
Alot of the planes are very lateset in the war (F4-C 200 made?) The Ki-84 was late war and over 3500 were produced ( although prone with problems) The Ki-61 is late '42 early '43 with just over 1600 produced. I know it's time to start a backward trend to making early war planes and have to start somewhere. But , but, but My FAVORITE ride is the Ki-84. I fly 2 planes exclusively the JUG (30-D) and the Niki ( only because the Ki is not in here) The Niki I agree is an easy plane to fly.... SMACK the throttle to full and leave it there!!!!! try that in the Ki and you die!!! The Ki-61 is equal to putting in the dauntless, at least let us IJN flyers fight on an even ground with planes of the same period:) HTC, or anyone else don't read this post wrong,I welcome the Ki-61, and I completely understand planes are added daily, some are more priority than others. But lets be objective and fair:)
