<r>Wow, and it seems gasoline makes really a BIG difference. Ki-83 reached 688km/h with Japanese gasoline and fantastic 760km/h with American one. It seems an Axis fanboy doesn´t need to create new planes, but....new gasoline.<br/>

<r><QUOTE author="mdiehl"><s>[QUOTE=mdiehl]</s>Peace to you then. And thanks for double checking. Now that we've established the params I think we can agree on two things. 1. The LATE war US fighters had the Ki-84 beat to the nines. The Ki-84 was competitive with the MID war variants of the F4U, P47 ...

Well, got the data on P-47N, P-51H and mdhiel is right. The F4U-4 top speed was 427mph. The Frank wouldn´t probably had survived to those late USA fighters, but it was still a foe for the most common USA fighters in early 1945.

<r><QUOTE author="mdiehl"><s>[QUOTE=mdiehl]</s>Your numbers do not accord with general stats in re a/c. Only in Axis Fanboy Fantasy Land could the Ki-84 could outdive the F4U, F6F, or P47. It could not. (Dive rate is primarily a function of weight, drag, and thrust).<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

<r><QUOTE author="Nikademus"><s>[QUOTE=Nikademus]</s>You make a good point afenelon, in that the whole story is hardly told by just posting 'optimal' stats for a designated airframe, certainly the Ki-84, if properly built and maintained was a formidable opponent.

<r>Here is the Ki-84. It´s interesting to notice that Ki-84´s tested by the USA reached 680km/h. Was it the effect of better quality gasoline????<br/>

The game is hard coded to end in mid-forty seven, I think. We did code limited support for jet aircraft and if some one added them to the data base, they would function differently than prop-aircraft.<br/>
