I would say the guns are, if anything, too potent.

Untrue.

I think they have been modeled really well.

Unless I am gravely mistaken, they are the same machine guns as on the Ki-84, Ki-61 and Ki-67 so they really didn't need to model them again.  Just plugged the existing model into the Ki-43-II's data.

My comment was moderately tongue in cheek accordingly.

This thing flies like a TIE FIGHTER :devil

When it comes to shooting targets... I'm an "angles" and "snap-shots" type of guy... so I gotta get off LW and RAF mentality when it comes to firepower that suits "angles" and "snap-shots" real well when flying this plane :cry

Meh, the TIE Fighter has been overmodeled since at LEAST XvT, if not earlier to introduce artificial balance for the multiplayer games (don't make me go all nerd on you to prove it).

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Its a fun ride. Handles really well, good climb, acceleration is not bad. The armament isn't heavy of course so you have to get in close. It certainly isn't meant to fight LWA 1944-45 400 mph+ rides but each to their own.

Ammo count has been updated to 540 rounds, good to see HT make the change so promptly.

Finding that using Ki takes patience, patience to pick the right fights. Hard to do in the MA surrounded by late war uber rides. Though lot of fun trying.

Not really, I find diving into a swarm of red and killing 1-3 before I leave or they get a good/lucky shot is quite fun and not all that hard. 40 more rounds means even more kills  :x

I prefer to find my own fights 1v1 or v2 not gang those already engaged.

Been waiting a long time for the Ki-43, and I've not been disappointed.  It's an absolute ball to fly.  Thanks, HTC. :airplane:
