Given that zerocinco has just posted some screenshots (in Friday's update) of the Type 1 Fighter I thought it timely to provide some links that illustrate just what a Type 1 was capable of given an experienced pilot.

The Hayabusa was a greatly underrated fighter, living as it did in the shadow of the Navy's superb Type 0. However, as the Allied pilots found over Malaya, DEI, New Guinea and Burma a well flown Type 1 was every bit as dangerous as the Type 0.

Here are some great visuals of what you describe:

Check the level turn at 2:10 in this one.

And look at the roll at 2:13 in this one.

This was posted on the Type 1 fighter over at J-Aircraft by rdunn. He has access to many prime documents.

Information taken from the Pilot manual issued by Akeno Flying School (16 Jan 43)
Type 1 Fighter, model 2

Max speed 515kph @ 6000m (2700rpm +200 boost); 504@3000 (2700 +125)

Stalling speed w/o flaps 120kph; with 30 deg flaps 105kph

Turn performance - left 93.7m radius, 10.8 secs (330kph, 2700rpm, +200)
right- 91.9m, 11.0 secs at altitude 600m

Climb to 1000, 1m13sec, 13.87m/s, 235kph (2700 +200)
Climb to 6000, 7m24s, 9.9m/s, 210kph (2700 +110)

Loop initiated at 350kph, speed at top 130kph

Loop roll (Immelmann?) Initiated at 350kph and 2300rpm altitude gain about 500m

Initiating climb at 350kph a 50 deg climb can be maintained 1000m, final air speed 180kph

Although possible to perform the following maneuvers are to be avoided - half rolls, fast barrel rolls, spins, inverted climbs, and steep pull ups at high speed.
