Not in 2nd supercharger gear.
That is due to a combination of speed and climb rate, which many other aircraft have.
*at low alt
Yes actually, because if it gets too slow it will be a free kill to subsonics. And in any case, this comparison is terrible since the F-104A is the fastest plane at its BR, the Ki-44-II is not.
As do many other fighters.

Why is ki-44 at such low br? The answer to that is… it is because gaijin uses statistics to balance the aircraft. Just like f4f and F4U share the same 2.7BR.
Aircraft trading maneuverability for speed does worse due to the incompetent players. Ki-44 is maneuverable though. Ki-44-II Hei better go up to 4.3.
B…but Yak-3! Me109F-4! Other comparably op vehicles! Is a weak statement. They better know 3.7 vehicles exist more than 3 types.
