Boys, you could walk from Maine to London on all the radiators you guys have shot holes while I've tried to do any kind of de-acking and not get your feet wet  

So far, I've had the best luck with the Yak and Typhoon with air-to-ground strafing.  Yak's low ammo makes that tough...yet the Typhoons rockets really clobber a hangar.

You know, every time I read one of these C-hog threads I think to myself "next tour, I may fly nothing else BUT the C-hog". After all, it's all anyone sees anyway, right?

Zero is a great de-acker too, with just MG's +)

Chuck the Chog!!

I find the 30mm on Fw 190a8 to be better for taking out ack and hangers, it only takes a few rounds to take out any ack but it does carry a smaller ammo load vs. the CHog.

The P-38 is the best plane for de-acking I've seen.  The nose mounted guns are just too concentrated for the ack to stand a chance.

wow bug... you found 3 guys stupid enough to HO you while you were in a CHog????  What times do you fly sounds like some easy kills!  No one even took advantage of the fact that you couldn't climb or turn or accelerate?

I fly the D but sure hope the C stays in the game because if it were gone then every loser would be trying to HO my d instead of wetting themselves when they see the HO coming.

hehe, reminds me of my last B-26 run this tour (wait a minute, my only B-26 run this tour). There I was, trying to get enough alt to hit the enemy fleet just off our coast, when I see a dot on my long, high six. I knew it was an enemy, so I watched. Sure enough, I see it begin to drop.

"Please don't be an F4, please don't be an F4..."

It was an F4.  

I wait until he is about 1.4 out and open fire. He is warping madly, trying to roll through my fire. I center the pipper on the middle of his rotation and lay on the trigger. I see sparks and begin to feel I may have a chance with a few more hits...

...when he was within 500 or so I began wondering how I wasn't dead yet. It was then I noted the yellow ring clearly visible through the machinegun fire. I smiled grimly to myself knowing he wasn't going to get me. A second later he lost his wing.

Of course I missed the fleet with the bombs.

funny how many folks like cannons over the MGs foe deacking where all it needs to take out an ack is something like 2-4 cal 50 rounds to kill one...  and the cal 50s and other Mgs have a so much better trajectory for that kindda thing.

(just strafe across 1 ack and it will be dead for sure)

I dont know, but maybe I am playing a different game than everyone else.  I have seen a big variety of planes lately in the MA.  Its not just all C-hogs and N1k's.  

I think some folks on this board just like to hear themselves whine.  It gives them a sense of importance I guess.

The D-Hog has to put half a second of .50 cal into an ack to kill it. A CHOG or n1k can simply do a snapshot in the general direction. One ping from them cannons will down the ack.

Take a n1k or chog, get them fast on the deck and strafe a field while cutting the grass...every ack you see you just bank the plane to one side, wait until the ack is just before and a bit above the aiming dot spray until the ack passes the dot, find next ack, repeat.  

A-26 should replace the CHOG

Anyway this thread is getting long

I've been deacking with P47 and Tiffie..
I prefer tiffie alot, fast low altitude runner with 2000lb bombs that doesnt bother much.
just couple of shots and acks goes down with tiffie.
P47 does it nice too, but needs more ammo and sometimes ack just takes multiple runs on it (somehow survives)
