About
The Ki‑43‑III Otsu is a nimble Japanese fighter powered by a Nakajima Ha‑115‑II engine. It reaches ~591 kph with a TWR of ~0.42 and excels at low-speed agility. It replaces earlier armament with two hard-hitting 20 mm Ho‑5 cannons (300 rounds) for strong firepower
Playstyle
This plane shines in turn-fights and energy tactics. With an outstanding turn rate (~41.6°/s), it outmaneuvers nearly everything at its tier. You can also play it as an energy fighter—using climb and speed to engage or evade at ~3.5 km altitude. Be cautious: its low optimal speed makes fast maneuvering tricky
