I don't get the complaints with this plane. It's what I expected.

Hellcat was built as a response to Zero fighters, hence why it has nearly the same stats as T21 Skilled and superior to both base T21 and T52.

Sure, T52 Skilled, Shiden Kai Ni and Reppu, as well as many other planes are superior to Hellcat, but assuming that this base Hellcat (as well as other base aircraft) are piloted by rookies fresh out of flying school, this is pretty much will happen.

T52 Skilled and Iwamoto Squadron had more experience in battle, so they can outdogfight a Hellcat piloted by rookie and give him a lot of trouble, while Shiden Kai Ni and Reppu are more or less the same, if not superior, against Hellcat.
