Additional Information
the Best army fighter in Japan was the Ki-84 Hayate (Hurricane), which was used at the final stage of the Second world war. He had a fairly high speed, powerful weapons, armor protection of the pilot and could almost fight on equal terms with American fighters R-47 and R-51.
the Design of the Ki-84 began in April 1942 under the supervision of chief designer Toru Koyama. The terms of reference provided for the creation of a fighter superior in speed interceptor Ki-44, but at the same time having maneuverability at the level of Ki-43. In addition, it required weapons consisting of two 20-mm guns and two 12.7-mm machine guns, and in order to increase the survivability of the aircraft, it was necessary to book the cockpit and install protected fuel tanks. The latter requirements were quite unusual for Japanese designers.
