The reason might be that the Ki-44 is the missing plane in the thread of jap fighters.
Most of the jap planes are of the slower type in the game until you get to the end of the war.
The Ki-44 was introduced in 41. and therefor gives us a fast fighter to be used in campaigns and so on from an early stage of the war.
Mostly used in Japan yes. but stationed saveral other places mainly to protect important key targets like oilfields, industry.
When reading about it it states that it wasnt well liked due to bad turning and simlar, but i would think this was to japan standards.
Also the J2M3 wasnt liked by the jap pilots due to higher turningtime compared to ex zero but from a american point of wiuv it was an exelent plane and if in larger numers built would have been a real seriouse threat to the allies fighting the japs.
So with getting the Ki-44 ingame we would have a jap plane that could cope with and handle the higher speed allied planes that the other early jap planes have no chance against.
This ofcourse might not be to the likings of some that like the fact that they are almost untouchable in flying on the allied side in pre 1944 coops. dogfight and campaigns. this ofcourse using correct tactics.
