Pacific fighters Poll

[McIvan]

Is it possible that you might be thinking of the Ki-100? That was the radial engine upgrade of the Ki-84, and was reported to be the equal in speed (at low/medium altitude) of Allied fighters while being able to outmaneouvre them all....was rated as a very nasty customer indeed. I'd seriously consider giving that one a vote.

Personally tho I went for the Corsair for its versatility, its bounce and climb combat ability, and *cough* becuase that was the aircraft used by the RNZAF squadrons that supported US forces in the Pacific.
