Ki-27 vs Ki-43: Why is the Nate tougher?

[IceFire]

Indeed there are some DM's that just don't seem to make sense... I know generally how the DM's work in theory but in practice there seems to be some interesting results.

If the Ki-27 and Ki-43-I are so similar... they should go down similarly but they don't. Even if the wing tanks are smaller... fire a dozen .303 rounds in that general area and you should get a light... but you rarely do.
