How do u explain that I get a 3-5 kill run when I fly them straigth in a furball and I often get 1 kill when I do same with P47?

I niki, I fear nothing. Higher, lower, faster, bigger guns whatever I don't mind.

I don't mind because the Niki will forgive any of my mistakes, it's "point and click" flying. The guns are great, only 2-3 pings and I ripp or heavily damage my target(S). Most of my kills are opportunity shots and not really aimed/planed shots.

Take a .50 type of plane and see how long u need to spray a bandit to break something.

If you don't feel Niki is not so great, fly some over plane for a while (P47, 109G10, pony...) and come back to the niki. it's impossible not to feel a difference.  
Dat jugs bro.

Them nikis can be a pain in the ass...its a late war plane right? 1944/45?? how bout you give the other countrys each a plane from that era.   IMHO the niki takes no skill at all I was having a realy bad day in AH one time had only got like 2 kills then went in a niki and got 7 kills in a furball in about 15 minutes.

 UH-HUH your POV is from the F4U1C {another dweeb plane} more than any other,why don`t you get in the jug and fly a comparable number of sorties-I`ll bet the scores are skewed the other direction.

 Both <dweebC&niki> are point and click killers with generous E retention,your stats don`t mean dick.

I found a good pilot in any aircraft is a good pilot.

A smart pilot in any aircraft is a smart pilot.

Normally, I'm none of the above   ..My point is, It's not the plane..It's the pilot.

Well, that's my 2 cents anyway...Now donning my proximity gear.

N1K2-J is terribly slow for a 1945 fighter, at least above 10k. Just run away if you don't like it.

I don't throw in my 2 cents on FM issues because, well, I don't have the slightest clue what I'm talking about.  

That being said... I seem to leave every fight with a Niki shaking my head in disbelief at what just happened.

Something just seems *off*... can't put my finger on it, but mostly related to its zoom or E retention... something...

Don't even know why I'm posting this useless bit of personal experience. If it hits the numbers across the board, then it's fine.

It *does* hit the numbers....right?

You have chosen two very different planes to fly on on a regular basis Nuttz. Let me guess: You use P47 when attacking a field, you start heavy taking out ack and groundtargets and when you are light you end up vulching the guys taking off arent you?
You use Nikki when you defend your field against vulchers arent you?
This is reflected very well in the numbers you show us. Numbers like that tells nothing about the planes strenght, more about how the plane is used.

"kirin has 23 kills and has been killed 5 times in the Fw 190A-8 against the N1K2."

Numbers like that don't tell the whole story... Every dweeb flies a N1K2 in this tour (probably the same guys who flew A5 in last version) - you can kill them, no doubt. But they reflect a much greater danger in the N1K2 than in any other plane.

As many said, when fighting a N1K2 you never know what happens next... it's a bag of wonders...   Don't get me wrong, the N1K2 was a very good plane in previous versions as well and someone who mastered it was very deadly but now it just requires little skill to get many kills in it. Its E-retention let's me wonder again and again...

My scoring against N1K2s would be fairly much of those where I had advantage over N1K2.
If I see high N1K2 and I am his only target - I'll run more likely than die for such dweeb.
Other planes can come in from advantage and kill themself if they wish to..
Ps. in 1.04, I liked more having advantage enemy on my 6 than one coming in my 12 (head on.. avoid), because they were/are easier to kill.

I flew N1K2 just few times to test, it was awesomely easy to fly and I didn't even have to watch the speed gauge for stalling or bad maneuvers.
Also those cannons performs quite well, doesn't seem as lousy as MG151/20 or ShVAK


So.. all in all, most N1K2 kills would be kills of opportunity for me, because I sure feel my chances poor against N1K2, if its pilot isn't complete newbie.
