Yep, perk the more then 2 cannon birds. That's the problem. I hate those things


 Bah. Perk all Hizooka planes.

 Only girls use Hizookas. Real men use MG151s.

I didn't read your post, but I think the gist of it was that because you're new and couldn't beat an LA5 (lol), the Chog shouldn't be perked? Err... with that kind of logic, because most new guys lawn dart their 262's or simply can't kill ANYTHING with one, it shouldn't be perked either. lol? :noid

Man how I hate those signs. No, not what you might think - I am actually too tall to be allowed to go on most rides! :D

You can hit at 600, i know I've done it with a Typhoon on a LA7 at 600, knocked his tail right off.

Unjustdied..As soon as the LA5 turned back towards ya,you shoulda started spraying 20mms(assuming u had tracers on)...If that doesn't change his mind,keep the lead flying and HO the dweeb,breaking hard at 8ooft.

I'd rather fly into a b17 formation than a hail of CHOG lead.(hence why it's perked)

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

 
   over  90% of the fights in MA are under 10k,

 F4U-4   under 10k : --slower than La7
                                 --worst acceleration
                                 --3 x 20mm, offer better punch than 6 x.50cal
                                 --worst rear visibility

   Why to " REALLY" complain about!?

I dont get the point about the ENY ratings.  A F4U-1 has a much higher rating than a F4U-1C and will run circles around a Chog.  Turning ability and speed are not what grant the Chog's perk status.  Its a combination of doing alot of things well and having Hizookas on top of it.  

If there's one thing I know, its that you dont take any plane for granted, because its the guy flying it that matters.  Not the plane.  He didnt get pwnd by a Laffer, he got pwnd by someone that knew his ride better.

Or ... rather than perk based on number of cannons, model how cannons tended to jam more.
