"Would love to see the P-39/P-400 and the A6M3 added, they are both needed."
I would as well, but I can wait for the P39, it's not like we dont have enought US fighter's at present, I would rather see an early P38 varient instead, my thing with the P39 is that so many other planes are sorly nead in it's stead to fill plane set gaps and adding it would in many ways make some set's harder to do.
"As for speedcharts, Im afraid they dont tell the whole story. If they did the CT would be a very different looking place."
Your right they dont, all three of them can give you an idea of the relative preformances, but the human factor is always present, if it werent the Empire would rarely get any kills at all.
"Early Ki-61", this really would do little to improve it vs the F4U-1 and F6F,"
Well the Early Ki 61 is a tad faster, but more importantly it climbs Way Better, which means it excelerates way better, it will still be slower than the Hellcat and the Hog though but the gap will lessen in the preformance aspect. It should be noted that our Ki-61 is not realy the model it is labled as Mitsu went on a rampage for months over this, it is aparently more like the "c" preformance wise which is why it is such a slug. The Earler Ki-61 is around 20 mph Faster and 1.5 min faster to alt, which would play way better aganst the Allied fighters we presently have to set aganst it.
"and of course, your "cooking" that a bit by saying "lets have the early Ki-61 but make sure its the Ki-61a with the 20mm and not the Ki-61b without""
Even with the MG 151's (which are not as good a gun as the H0-5), the Allied planes have a big firepower advantage, their still way tougher, and wanting the 20mm at least makes the Earler Ki-61 competitive, without them it would be like flying the 202's guns aganst blue planes which would suck bad.
". In any case, like I said its combat record, I submitt, in the CT would be no better or worse than the Ki-61-KAI we have, which has 20mm cannon in the nose, and bomb carrying ability as well, which I suspect is the reason its modelled in AH. "
Having a More competitive Ki-61 would be great, and I am shure many would rather have the 20 mph spead boost and the 1.5min climb boost, I gus the question is why must we have the worst preforming Japanese plane set aganst the Best of the lot for the US planes, which at present is quiet common in the plane set's, out of necessisity since thats what HTC modeled.
No CT set up is compleatly Ballanced, we try but we cant get it to close as you say, it's not posable, but like sickboy said the above, the above set would not run in the CT well since it is so entierly pro Allied.
