The Ki-61 is a Japanese WW2 fighter known for being the only mass produced Japanese aircraft to be powered by a water-cooled inline engine, a licensed copy of the Bf-109E's engine. Initially the Japanese air force was skeptical of the plane because of its high wing loading and bad turning capabilities compared to the Ki-43, but accepted it into service after it proved faster and much more durable than the Ki-43.
