Description
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 manoeuvrable turn fighter. It sacrifices any additional armament and armour 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 armour you will need to fly it with a defensive mindset. This aircraft is very comparable to the A6M series in the regards of handling and tactics.

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ History" (example: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.
