Pilots would not have gone from A6M2s (a Navy plane) to the Ki-44 (an Army plane), but rather from the Ki-27 or Ki-43 to the Ki-44.

Yes, but then Icepac's point would still stand, given that either of the earlier ki's you cite have very high turn rates.

Yeah......got my navy and army planes mixed up.

Still......those pilots who complained came from the two most maneuverable japaneses of the war.

It doesn't mean the KI44 is a pig.

Flew it last night.........and it's not the end all late war monster but it does all things reasonably well and it has advantages over other planes in very specific parts of the envelope and, conversely, it has disadvantages in other places.

Great plane and fun to learn how to exploit it's strengths.

RE: Maneuverability..........the only japanese pilots who slagged it's turning had just gotten out of A6M2s and you heard the same complaints about other fighters like the J2M and even the KI84.


Flew what?
