Notes:
Usually the Japanese never state the performance figures in WEP however planes such as Ki-43-III and A6M6 which come with extended duration engine injection do get listed at WEP power. Ki-43-I and KI-43-II have 1 minute rating for their WEP, whilst Ki-43-III’s have 10 minute rating of WEP since they have water / methanol boost and the prior Hayabusa’s have air cooling only.
Ki-43-III Otsu underwent major modifications to fit the 20mm guns in place. This added more drag and weight. Overall its performance was worse than Ki-43-III Ko and the japanese only built 2 prototypes and abandoned the project. In War Thunder however both the Ki-43-III Ko and Ki-43-III Otsu are modelled at the same weight and have identical flight performance.
Turn times listed at sustained turn times. Enlisted uses best instant turn rate which are always lower than sustained turn times.
