It was the only mass-produced Japanese fighter of the period to use a liquid-cooled inline engine, the Kawasaki Ha-40, which gave it a sleek profile and improved aerodynamic efficiency compared to radial-engined contemporaries. Designed for balance between speed, climb rate, and maneuverability, the Ki-61 performed well as a high-altitude interceptor and frontline fighter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"511\" data-end=\"864\"\u003eAlthough its engine was based on German Daimler-Benz technology, Japan faced difficulties in production quality, maintenance, and reliability, which affected operational readiness. Despite these issues, the Ki-61 saw widespread service in the Philippines, New Guinea, and later in the defense of the Japanese home islands against Allied bombing raids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"866\" data-end=\"1171\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eOne of the most famous units operating the Hien was the 244th Sentai, known for its intense defense of Tokyo and participation in combat against B-29 Superfortresses.
