He-129, gotta have it! we need a dedicated tank buster!

BTW - the most common opponent of the AVG was the Ki-27 'Nate'
they were a generation behind a the P-40, and it showed in the k/d ratio. with only (2) 7.7's firing thru the prop arc, it a wonder they were ever able to bring down a tuff plane like a P-40.

Yep, I keep getting the Claude and the Nate mixed up. Meant the Nate. Like I said, it (the Nate, that is) would be deadmeat against the P-40, as it was in real life.

I'm hoping for the Ki-44-IIb. It'd be nice to see the Japanese planeset get something competitve with the American stuff being released.

But I agree, the Ki-43 is most likely. Hopefully it'll be a Ki-43-II, that might at least be a little bit of a threat to a P-40. The Japanese already took a hit in competiveness in getting the D3A1 instead of the more common D3A2.
