The Ki-43 was a good maneuverable aircraft, but it had NO FIRE POWER, the two 7.7 mm machine guns were no match against the six 12.7mm machine guns of American aircraft, further more the Ki-43 was easily shot down because it was lightly built and could not sustain allot of damage, other than that it was an OK fighter.

On the earliest post-prototype variant which was only a stopgap.

@@fifteenbyfive don't get me wrong, it was still a beautiful aircraft and highly maneuverable,it's just it could not sustain any damage because it was very lightly built with rifle caliber fire power, even the later variants even though upgraded still had those same flaws, and was just pointing that out, not taking anything away from the pilots and their bravery, again it is a very beautiful aircraft.
