    Still downloading it at the moment, gotta love those speeds :)

    Been reading some pretty bad things on the main forums and I'm hoping they have all the issues fixed by the time my download finishes. Saw that its been pushed back to 5pm GMT for the servers to come back up.

    Anyone else able to play currently?

    EDIT: Just read they are up but performing a lot of fixes at the moment

    People complaining on the forums on a patch day? That's UNpossible!

    Just ignore all the QQ dude. Gamers always bitch and cry about everything with hopes that the devs will listen.
    The great thing about 2 out of the 3 games that NNG plays is that the devs actually do listen and try to accommodate the majority.
    I normally give a patch day or two to settle in, than play it.
    So far I've heard borking but great feedback about it and can not wait to get home so I can check it out, considering that the servers will be up.

    So far 3 sorties with the new Ki-84 and I kicked some ass. Got shot down in the first one followed by a player kill in the second and than 3 more player kills in the last one.
    Got a double kill actually for the first time and than caught a P51 in a turn fight. I literally started laughing when he decided to stop trying to outrun me and dove to the ground.
    For it's tier the plane performs very well . I got into a BnZ fight with fully upgraded Kingcobra and I was able to stay on him the entire time until that asshole decided to start flying out of bounds. Either way, my plane had zero upgrades so I imagined what it would be like if it was fully upgraded.

    The things that bothered me most were:
    Propeller reflection, it was like having a sun in front of you the entire time.
    On a dive at 500-600kph there is a time when the engine starts to choke a bit, kinda feels like flying a carburetor Spitifre. It totally screws up your dive so I gotta read up on it. However, when I dove at 90 degree angle, the engine did not choke so I don't know.
    The plane has 100 rounds less in cannon ammo vs Ki-61.
    Trim settings are very sensitive. 25% rudder for flying a straight line at average speed. The most sensitive one is the pitch. Gotta play with it depending upon your airspeed.
    10 min of WEP with some turnfighting, nothing crazy tho and my oil overheated. We'll see if upgrading the radiator will make things better.

    These are my first impressions of this plane.
