The Ki-43s are absolute beasts. After learning how to fly the Horten, I came back to the Ki-43 series and found them to be very OP planes. I remember uptiering the Ki-43-III (pre-nerf) to 6.0 and still dominating.
@@diesel4ever273I think about a year ago the guns ended up being nerfed because of some update they introduced called "shatter point" I think they either reworked it or got rid of it after negative feedback. anyways I think the guns are good again but I've only tried the ki 61 so far and the guns on that one shred up any plane.
@@ashplattsii1fan92 I just find it confusing how the same guns shot from a bomber turret or from a fighter/strike plane behave completely different. Fighter and strike guns (mostly fixed guns) are somewhat easy to predict where they'll hit and they shred when they hit. Shoot the same gun from a bomber, suddenly it doesn't shoot where you aim due to the offset camera, the hits rarely give me a critical failure like breaking a wing or killing the engine, but then I get shkt once and my tail falls apart, my engine catches fire, my wing breaks... To the point where I mostly gave up on flying most large bombers and switched to smaller, faster and nimble strike aircraft to be able to both bomb bases and defend myself by dogfighting and avoiding guns altogether, since in this game getting hit by a fighter gun is a death sentence while a bomber gun is a tickle. I bet the German pilots weren't just tickling with atleast 3 dual .50 turrets shooting at them, but Gaijin...
@@diesel4ever273 if you're a new player the bombers used to be op and so were the gunners then they were nerfed to the ground. If you haven't tried try putting air target rounds for the turrets or armored rounds if there's no air target option. If you have neither go with universal. Other than that bombers suck don't bother.
"Max Turn" "Average Damage" "Weak Climp" I like that once you are in some fight you feel much better when Turn is great than just Damage or even HP/Armor In the Long Run you want the best Plane to help you out..
What plane should I do a video on next?
Maybe a Russian plane or German maybe BF-109 E-3 or 4, or a Russian yak
A 4.0 plane like the p-51 or maybe a fw-190
@@KMSobri I started Dragon's idea of a Bf-109 E but after that, a P-51 sounds like a great idea!

I remember the same experience with Sweden when it was new. It is such a fun experience to be able to dominate against an entire team!
Wait, was it nerfed? I tried it on sim mode and found it amazing, stable and agile with fast acceleration

The Ki-43 is an absolute delight in low tier air - it handles like a dream, packs a serious punch with its guns and is great fun to fly.
BLAHH ! Pure aiming too sir !!?
god like you're real General
I love the plane it's great for sim
I just hit 608 kills to 225 deaths in air RB with this thing with a 68% win rate in almost 400 battles played
My favourite bird of all
I came to this video because I got hit by one bullet and my entire wing ripped off and I wanted to know what the heck hit me

I use it for clubbing baby seals in AB. Went 19-1 one time. Fun as hell
I think they were also known as Oscars.
