Ki-61 Hien Comparison

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Unsourced, original research essay. Merely one contributor's own assessment of this aircraft. Rlandmann (talk) 20:37, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Delete as interesting but unencyclopedic and apparent original research. These "performance comparisons" is often made without an understanding of the specific standards used. One "maximum speed" may be a maximum speed with the engine at 100%, full load of guns & ammunition, and partial fuel load, while another may be a "maximum speed" of a specifically stripped-down and lightened aircraft with the engine "redlined" briefly and only enough fuel to climb to altitude, make a speed run, and land. For that matter, these types of amateur comparisons often ignore practical considerations (ease of maintenance, ease of training, pilot comfort, etc etc) which in combat might overwhelm the "on paper" performance statistics. &lt;eleland/talkedits&gt; 20:44, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Delete. Most aircraft articles have a 'comparable aircraft' list in the related content section where readers can draw their own unbiased conclusions. The comparable aircraft list given in the main Ki-61 article does not match those aircraft in this article!?! Nimbus227 (talk) 21:36, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Delete Appears to be original research. The article makes a superficial comparison between various fighters which seemed to be linked soley by their engine type.Nigel Ish (talk) 21:55, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
