Same with the Hayabusa I, wing loading 23, but no armour. The stats for the Hayabusa II are about right, this had armour on that decreased turn ability.
I'll have to contact Andrea on this one. He asked me some time ago if anyone had worked out a formula, similar to the WWI Official Unofficial stats. At a guess, I think the stats for the A6M5 were used for the A6M2, and the Morane 406 stats for the Dewoitine 520, and he suspected those mistakes had been made.
