Survivability and armour
Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured, etc. Describe the armour, if there is any, and also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.
Armaments
Offensive armament
The Ki-61-II Otsu Kai is armed with:
- 2 x 20 mm Ho-5 cannons, nose-mounted (250 rpg = 500 total)
- 2 x 12.7 mm Ho-103 machine guns, wing-mounted (250 rpg = 500 total)
Suspended armament
The Ki-61-II Otsu Kai can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- Without load
- 2 x 50 kg Army Type 94 GPHE bombs (100 kg total)
- 2 x 100 kg Army Type 94 GPHE bombs (200 kg total)
- 2 x 250 kg Army Type 92 GPHE bombs (500 kg total)
Usage in battles
Describe the tactics of playing in the aircraft, the features of using aircraft in a team and advice on tactics. Refrain from creating a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but instead, give the reader food for thought. Examine the most dangerous enemies and give recommendations on fighting them. If necessary, note the specifics of the game in different modes (AB, RB, SB).

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Good turn
- Good energy retention when manoeuvring
- Lower wing loading than its Allied opponents, allowing smart use of vertical manoeuvres at medium altitude
- Easy to learn MEC with
- Can reach >500km/h IAS at sea level and with good use of MEC
- Near-infinite WEP with MEC
- Quite average in all aspects as a fighter
Cons:
- Doesn't climb very fast
- Overheats quickly without MEC
- Ailerons compress seriously above 550km/h
- Faces many superior planes in an uptier - weaknesses of the enemies must be exploited to defeat them
History
Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the vehicle and adding a block "/History" (example: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></ref>
, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />
. This section may also include the vehicle's dev blog entry (if applicable) and the in-game encyclopedia description (under === In-game description ===
, also if applicable).
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
