Place yer Votes: Remove the F4U-1c ??

Can we just remove Torque?

(Just kidding)

I really hate seeing thousands of 400mph blue streaks, and million of 20mm tracers wizzing everywhere.  
Any solution that reduces the # of 1C's works well for me.

You guys.......
Last night I signed on and rook 6 was under attack.  Three (not 1,2, but 3) f4u's were right over the field just out of the ack guarding for a bomber that was coming.  I hopped in a 205 and came up and stayed in the ack for a minute.  One of my fellow rooks went charging in and the f4u's jumped him.  I went out and got on 1's 6 and he was down in just 3 seconds, 2 short bursts from my 205.  One of the other f4's turned quickly when he saw me come in so I pulled up and over, pointed straight down and aimed right for the f4's cockpit...blam...dead f4u.  Now for the last 1.  He pulled around and was coming for me ho.  At distance 1.1 (did you read that right, yes 1.1, I'll say it again 1100) I shot a short burst, center mass, then pulled hard out of the way of the coming cannon shells.  I heard a ping or 2 then looked behind me for the view of the f4 smoking and falling to earth.  Then I got lucky, right in front of me was a 205 hanging on it's prop after my fellow rook.  One short burst and Shamus was dead, just a bonus. 4 Kills for Nemo.  Then the bishop swarm came in so I went to rook 9 and grabbed my trusty f4u1c so I could maybe dive in and clear the cap.  I hauled bellybutton and got to maybe 10k and dove in, a quick pass on a b17 and I was dead  So I guess the 205 is really the quake bird  (all this really happened.  5/31/00 around 10pm cst just ask shamus, he must have been coming in while I was on the f4u's and saw the whole thing)(as of 12pm we still had 6 )

These complaints amount to nothing but whining.  I'll repeat again.  The f4u is easy to kill.  If you don't think so, instead of constant complaining, saying that you'll shoot chutes of f4u pilots (this comment came from a Hristos who has no problem out flying any plane, very strange that)or that your going to quit.  Why not get some training or something.  Because this is a fact, I'm not good at flying at all and I have no problems against an f4u, I just aim well I guess.  I don't know.

And for you lw types.  You'll get a decent fw to fly soon so I asume that this discussion will come to an end then, plane envy can be a bad thing.  And for you turn and burn, love of the dog fight types that hate it when a f4u comes burning in and blast you.  Then you'll have the fw to complain about.  Because we all know what a fw is good for....    It's all part of the game really.

Lazercannons???? If they were lasers, I wouldn't have to lead a shot

And whom ever made the comment about some planes not getting a 1 ping kill must not know that shots to the cockpit/pilot are modeled.  If you aim at the cockpit/gunner position thats maned and hit it with 1 single 303 from a spitfire, the whole plane will explode because the pilot/gunner is dead, or they will be wounded in the least.  So why complain?  Just aim better or get out of the way, duck your head, hide, or something.  Your f4u complaints seem.....can't come up with a good word......hmmmmmm...petty...w hinning....unfounded.....base less......lame.....unbelievab le....you guys come up with some others...

Keep the f4u1c!!  (2nd vote from me I know, does it count?   )  (don't forget lw types, a good fw is coming soon then I'll fly a p51   )

wow dufus kills some hogcs in the only position that they are vunerable and suddenly the opinions of 50 men are pointless whines.


stuff it you bellybutton

the plane is still overmodeled ( turning ability slow and death rays)the thing unbalances the arena and has since day one.

turn on a hog arena and no hog arena and see where the croud goes.
(if they were so damb great why didnt they make more of um?)

Nemo, I was the other Rook.

The F4U's didn't get me.   I saw them, and as I always do with F4Us, I avoided them.  The B-17 they were escorting got me (for the 2nd time  , I'd taken a P-38 from A1 earlier and been shot down by that bomber).  I have never been killed by an F4U AFAIK, because I refuse to play with them and I rubber neck constantly to keep my SA up.

I also counted 4 F4Us ove A6, there was one high up and then 3 more escorting the B-17, so of the 5 enemy aircraft I saw last night, 4 were F4Us.

But wait.  Maybe I'm missing something here.  In my confussion of why this is even a topic, I'm ignoring the points made by people on the historical aspects of the f4u1c.  Is that what this is all about??  Only 200 saw action so why have it??  Well nothing much else is historical in the main arena anyway.  P38's fighting f4u's etc.  But I can see that point....I guess.  Everyone has there point of reference of why they like online flight sims.  There own enjoyment factor I'll call it.  Mine should be obvious, I enjoy the kill.  Maybe I am a "quaker".

I watched a gunfilm on Torques webpage.  F4u vs 109.  It was beautiful, especially if you turn on the trails.  2 good pilots there, no doubt.  I couldn't have managed my e in that fight.  I would have been dead quick.  That's not for me at all I know, without some more training anyway.  But I can fly and shoot and enjoy the main arena the way it is now.  Lot's of different things to do and think about.  "Some day"   we'll have more arena's and different gameplay so everyone will have something they like.  So in the meantime, we'll have to live with it the way it is.  So for anyone (towd) that can't see beyond that,and can only see what they want and need, and can only call names and such.  I can easily do the same, your an idiot.

So flame me, flame the f4u1c, flame the game, flame htc, it doesn't really matter in the whole scheme of things.  Just be patient.

I completly forgot that I hate message boards....I'll stop my ranting in this post now   (i can hear the cheer go up already)
Towd....try to find a little happiness today...you'll be better of in the long run    

OOps, I just couln't help it, I had to add something....Towd..f4u overmodled in the turns???? you must not have flown it at all in this game......

RAM, I can kill all 9 ack at a small airfield and then add in a hangar with two passes with the 190, you want those guns turned down too?  It's actually much easier taking out ground targets with the 190, aside from the initial dive, because it climbs back up much faster.

Don't worry though, I don't want to remove the 190

I seem to be able to an extreme amount of damage when strafing hangers in a F4U-1C.  I don't know if the Typhoons cannons are modeled differently than the 1C's, but it seems so.  I can easily strafe down Fhangers with the 1C, but takes several more passes and more time/ammo from a Typhoon.  

My vote:  Keep the F4U-1C, but revisit the cannon lethality of the plane.  Something is definitely amiss there.

Remove it until there are enough Newewes to populate an historical arena and a main arena then put it back in main for the quakers.

why remove it, remove the nik then. F4u1c is a great attack aircraft, i really dont like it air to air because u can feel the extra wieght the guns give u. Whats the problem with out, there arent many around for it to be a major problem, and its perked. What happen u dont wait anythin to competet with the niks and la7, give me a break.

Hispano Mk.IIs vs MG-151s
« Reply #134 on: September 20, 2006, 05:50:13 PM »
I looked into this a while ago - I do believe that the hispano Mk.IIs on the C-Hogs & Spits are a bit more lethal than they should be, and the MG-151s are a bit less lethal.

See this link:Cannon ROF Testing

The C-Hog is not all that uber - it can be bested by a number of rides.  Rather than lose the C-Hog, I'd rather the cannons be fixed across the board.
