Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I taua wa, kei te mahi a Mitsubishi ki te whakatairanga i tetahi miihini rereke, te Ha-42 (he 18-whakatupuranga i ahu mai i te Kasei), ko te whanaketanga o te mea i paahitia i runga ake i te Ha-43, i whakaroa i te otinga. Na reira, i uru tuatahi te Ha-45 ki te ratonga, ahakoa i raru i nga take pono, ka raru ano hoki te Ha-43. He maha nga rererangi whakaari, penei i te Kyushu J7W interceptor me te kaiwhaiwhai a Mitsubishi ake A7M "Reppu", i whakamaherehia kia whakamahi i te Ha-43, engari i te mutunga, kaore i kitea e taua rererangi te ratonga i mua
Ko te whakahokinga mai o Hapani, kaore ano hoki te miihini ano.
