growing roster of Imperial Japanese aircraft, the Ki-61, known as the "Tony",
was designed with speed and power in mind. Use that to your advantage, as ace
SWON pilots can now download a brand new single player mission named "Last
Chance!" Flying Japan's latest fighter, the Ki-61 "Tony", you have been tasked
with clearing the skies of the deadly American Corsairs in order to give the
