Oscars make lovely paper weights if the wind doesn't pick up too much.

i have ever read that Hayabusa(oscar) was easy to produce&maintenace palne and was good maneuverable in low altitude. Tony is better fighter but is very hard to maintence its engine.

They�re no good against bombers, even early medium ones. In PBEM game have Oscars on long-range CAP over Khota Bharu, and the CAP is leaking like a sieve. Hanzo�s Hudsons and Blenheims are getting through to my ships no problem at-all.

Oscars were a good weapons package against the Chinese. A very very poor package against p-40� and worse against P-47�s and P-38�S. Agreed they were very nibble, even more so then the Zero, but they didn�t have the strength to sand up to B-24�s or any other USAAF bomber.

Yep, that was pretty much all they could do to a real airplane. Just nibble at it.

Oscars are better at protecting airfields. When providing CAP to surface ships I wouldn't use anything but Zeros until the Tony/Tojo upgrades.
