Production of the Ki-84 commenced in April 1944. Despite notorious lack of materials and American bombardments, 3413 aircraft were constructed by the end of the war. Although many of these aircraft were shot down, they were a very formidable foe to anything that they would have had to fight at the time, nearly matching the speed of mustangs and having the ability turn gave this aircraft a very terrifying reputation.
