The Ki-43-II Hayabusa was built from the ground up to be a very maneuverable turn fighter. It sacrifices any additional armament and armor for the ability to turn and climb. The aircraft was fitted with butterfly flaps (a type of combat flap) that drastically boost its ability to turn. Since the Hayabusa lacks any armor you will need to fly it with a defensive mind set. This aircraft is very comparable to the A6M series in the regards of handling and tactics.

Description

GarageImage Ki-43-II (USA).jpg


The ▃Ki-43-II Hayabusa is a premium Rank II American light fighter with a battle rating of 2.3 (AB) and 2.7 (RB/SB). It was introduced in Update 1.43.

The Ki-43-II Hayabusa was built from the ground up to be a very maneuverable turn fighter. It sacrifices any additional armament and armor for the ability to turn and climb. The aircraft was fitted with butterfly flaps (a type of combat flap) that drastically boost its ability to turn. Since the Hayabusa lacks any armor you will need to fly it with a defensive mind set. This aircraft is very comparable to the A6M series in the regards of handling and tactics.

If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Vehicle-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article.

Media

An excellent addition to the article will be video guides, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.
