Hey Krusty I just noticed this, but whats up with the "radioactive member" status? Did hitech create a new level just for you  :rofl?

Meester Krusty got his member stuck in the micro. Now he attributes remarkable healing powers to his unit. It helps him "close the deal" at the local watering holes, if you follow.

lol. I was wondering if it had to do with that quote from hitech saying something about a "BS meter aleart. I'd say something in the order of 85 Krustys"  :devil.

Good information. Does any of the more experienced among you have updates on information?

Worth mentioning, the A5 gets easily pilot sound compared wth the A8.

An observation :a off angle plane reversing 600 in front of an A8 with 4*20mm is as good as ded, with 30mm that won't happen, they nomally hit with the 20mm, and if it's not a spit or 109, they lose an aerlion,while spits and 109 lose the wing/wingtip.

Both have the same damage susceptibility. Both get PWs rather easily and smoke the oil instantly.

The ki-84 rolls like a Fw.190 and turns better, better climber (non-zoom) and turns better than those darn spits

please tell me if link is broken  



yes, take a 1944 japanese bird and compare it to a plane that flew over Dunkirk.


As for my 2 cents - the dora is really for runners, the A5 is the real fighter, and I respect those who keep at the A8 and even more those who are successful in one (Angeleyes for example) - but overall the A5 is a glove, perfect in almost every way.  Yes, its not a magical spit or the japanese spitfire (Ki84 is basically easy mode knife fighting) but when given just a little room to wiggle. . . so much fun.

Krusty, from rear I've been pw'ed many times, in an A5, in the A8 only from front or sides, during the last year.

Guys... you might wanna try taking center fuel/bomb rack when flying 190A-8.  To me the center rack kinda cures the nasty snap stall and kinda make 190A-8/F-8 a bit more stable.

Your Ki-84 just barely outclimbs the 190, is just 4mph faster on the deck, is out rolled by the 190's and is VASTLY inferior in diving. Also its just about made of cardboard, even .30's are enough to scare that thing.


Doesn't sound like much of an improvment, especially concidering the drop in firepower you get from A5 and A8, and the drop in preformance from the D9.
Ive take a hell of a beating in the ki bfore. mainly in 7 on 1 fights. Just all depends on where you get hit.

The A-8 were supposed to carry this rack to restore CoG as that shifted rearwards with the aux fuel tank installed. I assume the same was achieved by using the BMW 801TU engine pack (a bit more armor = heavier = CoG moved forwards).
