Sniff sniff... *puke*... this bait smells really funny.
The problem some people have with 4 HS cannons is that you point them somewhere and everything goes poof. Be it a column of tanks, be it some buffs.
If that's fine for you, gameplay wise, your opinion. But your attempts to alienate AH players from each others are obvious. Familiar sound your stitches, I think I've seen them on AGW.
And, although in a LW squad, you won't see me in LW fighters, so I don't mind. I'm a tank driver (that comes to a stop and hits .ef if he sees a F4U nowadays) and a buff driver (that is tempted to hit alt-F4 when a F4U shows up). I've been worked over in countless ways by 109 and 190 drivers, they deliver a bang if they make a smart attack and they deserve it, but HS equipped planes just hang on your 6 and deliver deadly blows while they are getting shredded. To be honest I can't remember that I ever had the chance to hit a F4U deadly.
To summarize, I'm the favorite F4U bait - I think I can consider myself lucky that european time doesn't see that much F4U's yet, either the players are smart enough to fly another plane or fair enough to choose another ride.
I've had lots of fun yet killing tanks in a tank (my anti-tank ride), and getting killed was a matter of aim, experience, position, luck, eyesight, the better man, whatever, not the biggest guns. It was fun.
Seeing a F4U just kills the fun, that's the problem. You know he points his guns at you and that's it. Yawn. At least most 109/190 pilots have to think about the loadout they take if they want to stay competive in the hostile environment - the C has it all. That problem is not related to USAAF/USN/RAF/VVS/IJN/IJA/RA/LW squads, but to buff and tank drivers.
