I've seen several opinions posted in the general forum. Might want to check there.

well first
she rolls realy good at most speeds
she compresses easy at 400-500 rng
she climbs realy good.
and once at 160 take flaps down and she turn like a a6m..
i think she does 350(or around there) on deck.
so she can chase most planes to the deck.. and if you do it right and handle compression, shot em down.
but if you run into trouble try to get flaps down and turn..
still turns okay with flaps up.. but not realy that good.

It's an E fighter which turns superbly. Speed is lacking, though acceleration and more importantly, climb, are excellent. It's a great roper, if you drop flaps when coming over the top.
You can't turn with spits or nikis, and if a speed-demon dives for the deck don't bother chasing it unless you're sure you can nail it before you reach 450 mph and compress. Flaps are essential for the low-speed fight, but generally you want to BnZ/rope/E-fight in it and only start turning when you know there are no real turners around. Oh, like the other japanese planes, at high speed it's not very good at turning.
Good ammo loadout. Don't spray, as the cannons seem to fire very quickly. Fuel load and consumption are fantastic, with %75 being enough for around 30 minutes of ass-kicking and loitering.

It will turn with Spits - once the flaps come out.

Can out spiral-climb a Spit9 quite nicely. With flaps. :)
