Well do like i do when the air is just FULL of Chogs. Jump out of your plane(Seafire) and jump into a niki. Niki is the best plane in Ah IMO and it can turn with anything and climb with just about anything and its guns are just as good as the Chogs. I feel if I have the alt on em I can take on 5 or 6 chogs at one time. If im lower I can take on about 3 at a time in a niki. So do like i do when they wanna bring about 20 Chogs over your base. Retaliate with NIKI! She's a BAAAAAAAD squeak!!

Isn't it weird that the historical name of George just got totally tossed, mostly because of the icon naming decision?

If you said to any other WW2 Simmer outside of AH that you liked the Niki, nobody would know what you were talking about.

Just find it strange...

The proper historical name of the Niki is "N1K2-J Shinden-Kai" not "George" or "George-21".

Karnak, just about everyone and their family pet know that, its just easier to type in "Niki" into the text buffer rather than "George",

Actually the n1k1-j shiden (violet lightning)and n1k2-j shiden kai (Violet lightning Modified) where both code named "George" by the allies as where the Zero zeke frank jack tony oscar rex and Niki (totaly difrent plane btw). the reason we call the n1k2-j a niki is mostly due to Air warriors icon system they took the n1k2-j and called (wrongly) a n1k1 and iconed as N1K1. every one started calling is a Niki and the name stuck.

The N1K is uber and needs to be fixed. The other day, I came upon one that was lower and slower than my P-51D. I zoomed down on him from 6 o'clock, just under 500 true. at D900, he did a half roll and split-S under me, so I zoomed up at about 60 degrees. I looked back to see where he was going, and saw that he was now on my six, climbing and CLOSING on me.

"No Problem," I figured. "I have WAY more E than he could possibly have." I kept climbing, figuring he would run out of E and have to go nose down. Well, for whatever reason, I ran out of E before he did and had to nose over to avoid a stall.

Before I could get my flaps back up, I was dead. How the hell does a lower, slower plane suddenly get the E to climb like that?

My turn to armchair this debate, here is my opinion.

1. Do not get rid of any planes.
2. Change hog plane IDs to F4C, and f4D.
3. Model engine and gun management.
4. Make torques plane bright pink so it is easy to spot(kidding).

It's Shiden-Kai not Shinden-Kai.  If you're going to correct other people, at least get it right!

Midnight, I've experienced that myself. The only explanation i can see is him pulling excessive g's thus cutting the corner and going for a 1/3rd a second snapshot as the distance gets smallest.

Unfortunately to me they just seem to hang stuck gaining behind me when I do that.
