Country:  | The fact that the shiitass P-40 got more votes than the N1K2 Shiden makes this poll useless.... There is no way u can even compare those 2 airframes, let alone say the P-40 was better.....
Bah on this poll......

Country: | I feel the Corsair was a better fighter than the P-38, but I think the Shiden was better than the Corsair....

Country: | The Japs could've achieved alot more, if their high command hadn't been so over confident in the Zero.
The late war saw some excellent Japanese designs beginning to see the light of day, but unfortunately (for them) it was too late. | |

| The question is BEST PACIFIC FIGHTER, not which fighter did more than the other....
American test pilots who had the great opportunity to fly a captured Shiden said that it outperformed anything else the US had in the air, and had it been built earlier, would have posed serious, SERIOUS problems for the Allies in the Pacific... That right there convinces me....
Also, my Grandfather thought that the Shiden was the best thing to fly the skies in combat over the Pacific, and he fought against them..... And he flew Corsairs....
