F4c kill death ratio

[Toad]

Swager, was I right?  

Cit, I'd love to see icons overhauled but there's also other cues. For example, there's a "shape change" at almost exactly 1k to that could be used as a range cue.

OK, back to the mudslinging guys!

Make those bastiges fly the way you think they should fly!

Hey! Every week lets vote to throw a plane   out of the planeset! We'll call it "Aces High Survivor"! Should be way cool by the end of the year...and think of all the work it'll save HTC.

I love this thread! I really, really do!

P-38 has, I beleive, a single Hispano MkII 20mm cannon.

Problem: F4U-1Cs guns are "too powerful".

Solution: Don't get in front of the damned thing.

Tip of the day: Go read Shaw's Fighter Combat: Tactics and Manuevering. Study the diagrams, and use them in Aces High. Your survival increases 40%.

ps: Anyone noticed you don't see as many F4U-1Cs in the arena since the P47 and Fw-190A5 came around? Hmmmmm.... :-)

Do you think those guys who fly the f4u1c do so out of adoration or reverence for the plane ? Do you think that they have models of f4u1c's and books about them at home . Or are they simple trying to do better at a game ? I know that it's their 30 bucks, I just wonder sometimes .

Yes Ram and there is skill involved in a G10 climb or run tactic, or 1905 warp induced barrel rolls. The F4u pilot is a dweeb for using his adv but the G10 pilot is an ace when he just runs and climbs.

First of all Torque I have stated several times you are the best F4U1-C driver in his game. Nothing personal here.

Second, the G10,well flown, doesnt run. The climb is another thing because it is one of its strengths. When you are in your F4U I'm sure that if someone bounces you you'll start the close diving spiral with flaps and gear down to force an overshot no? is one of the strenghts of the F4U. Well G10's climb is its strenght. So YES there is skill in a climbing G10, most of the time.

About the warp rolls I still have to see one. THe only plane that I usually see doing weird little warps is the C205. and I know many people sees the same, still have to hear a strong thing about it like that "warp roll" of the A5.

Remember too that F4U has a rollrate near that of the A8, in fact at very high speed it has a higher rollrate than A8 and A5...
So well...

If the only advantage of the F4U1-C is its guns killing at 1K, excuse me torque, but then you must erase it from the planeset.

But as we both know that it isnt true, then dont come here telling that 1K kills and HO is the only way a Hog can be a good fighter.

Ask Duckwing if you think that way...or Lephturn. They both fly the D hog, they both do wonders with it.

wow didnt realise this would spark off such a heated discussion.
i was merely thinking that 4000 odd kills to 2000 odd deaths shows its easier to kill with than other planes with (average) 3000 to 2000
i think it a hard plane to fly well but it sure is easy to kill with if you get on someones 6.Now if i was a better pilot than the average id fly a harder plane..hell i fly 109g2 and im crap   .o490 hit % last time i looked.why do pilots with excellent shooting skills need such powerfull guns?
id just like to say this is an opinion and i didnt want to get anyone annoyed but when im killed by F4's it annoys me sometimes to the point where i take a break to cool off   ..no other plane has that effect on me.make your own conclusions.

i must also say that the talk of the f4 being accurate to how it really was is important but it was not used very much in the european theatre so its unrealistic to face them so often when flying LW planes
i prefer to fight p51s and p38s and spits because that more closely mimics reality
