P-47D Thunderbolt vs Ki-43-II Oscar: New Guinea 1943“44 (Duel)

product details

The P-47D Thunderbolt was a very powerful fighter aircraft used by the U.S. Army Air Force in World War II. It was widely used in the Pacific Theater, including in New Guinea. The Ki-43-II Oscar was a Japanese fighter aircraft used by the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force. It was also widely used in the Pacific Theater, including in New Guinea. The P-47D was a much larger and more heavily armed aircraft than the Ki-43-II. It was powered by a 2,300 horsepower Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial engine, and it was armed with eight .50 caliber machine guns and a variety of bombs and rockets. The Ki-43-II was powered by a 1,150 horsepower Nakajima Ha-115 radial engine and was armed with two 12.7 mm machine guns. In terms of aerial combat, the P-47D had a much greater advantage in terms of speed, maneuverability, and firepower. The Ki-43-II was more agile and had a better climb rate, but it was no match for the P-47D in a dogfight. The P-47D could outmaneuver the Ki-43-II and had enough firepower to quickly overwhelm it. In the New Guinea campaign, the P-47D was the clear winner in any duel between the two aircraft.
