ORIGINAL: Lokasenna Drop the Tojo when you have the Ki-100-I. The Ki-100 is almost as good as the Frank, honestly. It should be your primary CAP fighter, with the Frank around also. I like the Ki-100 a lot, but it's much stronger in DBB mods than in stock. The difference is 20mph, which is huge. In stock it's good, but not nearly as good as Ki-84a, let alone the b or r. It's still important due to the service 1 though. At 360mph it's great against bombers and escorts, but not so much in my experience against P-47, Corsair or Spit VIII sweeps. Maybe I'll find out something different this time around, but that's a lot of mph to make up against those planes. It doesn't do great, no, but in concert with other planes it's done fine against my Allied sweepers. But the Frank can't be the backbone of your CAP, and the Ki-100 is the best SR1 (or even SR2) plane available to flesh out your CAP plans. Hence my endorsement.
