this is why the f4u1c should not be perk
« on: May 31, 2006, 11:08:36 PM »
i really wish i had a video to prove this but i dont........ it just makes me so mad that a perk f4u1c gets out ran buy a la5.

ok so im on the deck in the ocean of the coast of a base from a cv. there is a la5 there that has just upped and is going out to cv. i get in a fight and he jumps on my 6. now i get some help and the con  i was fighting leaves and its me and the LA5. i get him into a lag roll and out manouver him. he runs like a tipical la la would. now this is a la5 (35eny) vs a perk f4u1c (5 eny) now he runs away(remember when i got him in that fight we both were going about the same speed.) now while he is running 800 away i pull off couse i dont feel like chasing him. when i pull off he turns too and is now on my 6. he is 800 away and CLOSING. he is now 400 away and i do another lag roll get on his 6 he runs and does the samething thing. eventually some of his friends come so i half to run. now the lala was 800 away and sped up to my f4u got 200 he eventually got me.

so heres my question. why the hell is the f4u1c perked if it cant even out run a stupid la5? that just doesnt seem right. he had no alt advantage and i acually got him in a dogfight which had to have slown him down. so i just dont understand how the hell he spedd up all the sudden. ITS A LA5 FOR GOD SAKES.

you reversed him twice and failed to kill him?  perks are not based on the ability to engage and disengage at will.  La5s can easily out-accelerate any F4U, period.  ENY will not determine your ability to win a fight.

yes thats because when he got imfront of me he was already 600 out. like he did a booster thing or something. it was wierd its like he reganed all his speed back. never seen a la5 do that b4.

if so then why is the f4u1c perked and the la5 not. remember the la5 is 35eny.

Chog will stay perked, or else that will be the only plane you see coming off the deck of a carrier. It is only 5-15 perks depending on #'s. Heck, if you get that worked up over a few perks, you would have had a heart attack yesterday when I pressed alt+f4 while flying in a 262 simply because I had to answer the phone and was tired of playing anyway.

You have a problem with the La-5FN?

 Judging by the tone of your post, for some reason you seem to think that the La-5FN would be less capable than the La-7.

Deliberatly bailed from a 262 yesterday, bingo'd ammo, just to get to the maproom with my 45....

But they brought 2 goooooooons. Waaaaaah!

The things we do for our countries eh?

but yeah, back to topic

LA5 is a high ENY mainly because of it's is early war usage (introduced on the Russian front in 1942). This should in no way lead you to believe it is not a decent aircraft.

A simple rule of thumb with ANY ElGays is to not try and chase unless you got a HUGE E advantage. It's not so much that they're FASTER, but they're a LOT lighter so will easily out-accelerate the early Hogs on the deck. F4U-4 is an ENTIRELY different beast, however (IIRC on WW's charts she's well in the Top 10).

Usually if I see an La start to run, unless I got a shot I'll either let him go outright, or pull up into an immelman or even a high barrell roll. It's funny how many ElGay and Runstang drivers see that and immediately try to turn back in, and often times you'll get yourself at least a somewhat decent shooting position.

But yeah, I get tired of the whole ElGay run-and-Ho nonsense, too. Especially because no matter how I try and maneuver on the merge to deny the hit those front quarter shots ALWAYS hit me. :furious

Personally, I'd still like to see HTC unperk the 4-Hog for a tour and give the ElGay and Spit whiners something to REALLY complain about. :D

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

La5 at 10k will dive like a rock and not compress at 500. and then rocket back up losing only a 1000 or so feet in the process. They are both fairly tuff planes, but the F4u does beat it in turn and guns,ammo,range,loadout,looks.

Hey installing my new/old vid card (the one i had got fried) testing if AH would run on the old one i had EVERY graphics bug in the book. Black fog, black dar etc etc.... for some reason i chose a 262 on my test flight. No Joystick either. Took off, flew into the next best sector with loads of other planes - they happened to be all red......... uh oh, its been a while i flew mouse. Damn those slow reacting Jet engines........ What was keyboard fire button again? Theres a set of BUFFS - never mind the two high Ponys and Corsair........



LMAO. What a fun sortie. BTW, i made it home(!!) with two buff kills. Landing wasnt exactly text book with mouse though...... :t
