True but if you take close in shots, it usually only takes a burst to get a kill.

I agree. That's why it's not an easy-mode plane.  I like to make mine do a nice flat spin from about 5k. I sing show tunes on the way down... :noid

Likewise I can't remember a Ki-84 thats beat me in a one on one while in a Spit XVI.  They do always put up a good fight though, I'll give them that.

DA?

Fwiw: in Il-2 I have dove the Ki-84 to 520mph, and then pulled g's in order not to auger, without losing parts. :P

I've heard a few people on the forums ask where the high speed parts shedding comes from.  Some answer that its a representation of late war subpar building materials.

Would be nice to hear HTC's comments on it.

Again, if it is a representation of subpar workmanship, then the Ki-84 is the only plane in the game to have that built into the model.

I would also love to hear HTC's explanation.

I've seen a lot more than just the Ki84 rip wings, it isn't isolated to the Ki84.

The Ki-84 doesn't rip wings.  It looses its elevators, ailerons, and other control surfaces without even pulling G's once you get to 400mph+ ias.

Come on, how often do you fly the Ki-84? Huh? Huh? ;)

Never, the Ki-84 is a P38 with training wheels.

Considering the P-38 is an easymode fighter, not sure how that works out.

If thats the case Del, you'll have to help me out a bit.  I feel very confident and capable in the Ki84, but using the same attacks, defense, and overall combat tactics I flounder quickly in the 38j.

I have to fly a very different mindset in the 38 to attempt to get the same success as I do in the Hayate.

Yeah, I don't see the comparison either 420.  What could be more different about these two aircraft? :)

Why would I?  P-38 is cake to use in my experience and quite easy to kill with.  The Ki-84 is a bit better defensively though.
