I grabbed a snapshot of the Tony 1d and Tojo that  arrive near the same time frame for comparison if anyone wants to comment on Chickenboys question as I'm interested in hearing thoughts as well.

Ki-61-Id is a flying coffin in 1944 and is sorely lacking speed, MVR and ceiling in late 1943 as well. I say it is fit for bomber interception duty only. Ki-44-IIc is honestly far for great as well, but can be obtained several months earlier through dedicated research and can at least match Hellcat if deployed in sufficient numbers to absorb the initial dive.

As every squadron has a unique upgrade path, you get to see how each airframe fares throughout the game. Of course you actually have to complete the game too  in order to see which later stage airframes suits your playstyle the best.

I must admit it is very interesting to start the game having to rely on actually using Nates as frontline AC as there are not enough Zeros and Oscars to go around.

On the other hand, KI-100 I Tony seems to be a better replacement for Tojo line, to bad that it arrives in early '45
