By the way, was there any consideration within DT to make a map of south-east China, roughly the area marked on the map I've attached? Unlike many PTO battlefields, this one was active for at least three years.

A Ki-44 is high on my list as well. Really interesting and non-typical Japanese fighter for the time. Pilots initially didn't like it but some seemed to be quite successful later on... particularly against the P-40s and early P-51A models when they were first deployed.
