Ki-43-IV Oscar? Better maneuver rating, comparable climb, inferior speed. Put a good pilot in and hope for the best.

Yea, the P80s weakness is climb, which is only average.

Otherwise, its awesome, with high top and cruise speeds and very healthy maneuver ratings in all bands.

The FR-1 Fireball is also pretty cool with unreal maneuver ratings in the two lowest bands.
Kind of like a 400 mph Nate.
