About
The Ki‑84, named Hayate ("Gale"), is one of Japan’s most powerful WWII fighters fielded in large numbers. It combines high speed, impressive maneuverability, and a heavy armament of two 30 mm Ho‑155 and two 20 mm Ho‑5 cannons—making it a formidable opponent in dogfights
Playstyle
Play it like its predecessor, but with bigger impact: dive in fast and take out enemies quickly with the 30 mm cannons—often needing just one strong hit. You can use the 20 mm guns to finish off or maintain pressure while reloading. It's a favorite for many players .
