I think the Betty did poor as a torpedo bomber because it couldn't take much damage. In one sortie out of 25 planes only 5 made it back.

I'd go build a ju-290 factory if i were rich and make modern versions with jet engines or radials. I'd also buy a Storch,those are tiny and awesome STOL planes. Flying by myself would be boring but if i had fellows like you guys then I'd buy a ki-43 just for shits and giggles to mock dogfight.

The Ju-252 was supposed to replace the ju-52, but there wasn't time to change production orders because of the war condition.

I voted for Kurt Tank, he made awesome planes. I love his fw-200 and the fw-187. I also like Hugo Junkers, i love the JU-88 and JU-90 series and the ju-52 is still around!

It's claimed to be fiction by people who knew him, the author defends Yasuo with statements such as the people only knew him during school. I think it's possibly fiction or at least some parts are. I think the ki-84 is also a great aircraft, it just had the misfortune of having a lot of bad...

I will restate that the good pilots flying this craft could take on any plane. A 16 year old pilot Yasuo Kuwahara downed f6fs and b-29s with his ki-43 and this was late in the war in 1944 to the last days. One doesn't have to be a veteran to champion, just need to spot the enemy to evade a...

Since this is just an open question I can say the Ki-43 was the best aircraft. It out turned it's enemies and was very light allowing it to climb fast. There are several variants of it, the best i think is the one armed with the two 12.7mm machine guns. I read somewhere that at least one had...
