Ki-102 Otsu dogfighting capability
If you watch the way my opponent in P-39 flies, he wasnt a noob, he knew what hes doing. I had ever so slightly better edge in turning compared to his plane, but once he started abusing his better roll rate, he managed to get behind me. No way a BF-110 or Me-410 could pull that off.
The video also highlights the damage its capable of recieving as well as the back gunner capability.
if you can turn like that with P-39… P-38, P-51, F4U are a piece of cake

Ki-102 is so goated its a shame gaijin refuses to make it a proper attacker and doubles down on their wrong decision to make it an interceptor.

Then there is the B7A2

Literally a torpedo / dive bomber with 2x 20mm cannons and powerful 13.2mm back gunner and is faster than A6M5 zero and outturns Yak-9T’s
Its main drawback tho is the roll rate

At the end there i notice the Yak-9T got right on my 6 (completely suprised me), i went into my back gunner view but cuz i left the cursor elsewhere my plane starts turning, a bad unlucky moment… my back gunner aim is thrown off and by unintentionally turning i give a bigger profile to shoot at for Yak-9T, showing him my upper profile. By miracle he screws up and it puts me in a situation where im able to beautifully demonmstrate the turning capabiity of B7A2 even against a Yak-9T which had a headstart on my six…

The B7A2 can carry:
10x 60kg bombs
or
2x 250kg + 4x 60kg bombs
or
1x 800kg bomb
or
1x Torpedo
