StSanta I understand your sentiment
and it admirable.
But where does it stop? Personally I die many times over to Spitfires and N1K2's, than I ever do to F4U-1C's. And I bet (if removing planes became a "Voting" thing) that I could get quite a few votes from the populace to remove Spitfires. Yes there is that much hatred for Spitfires out there, but is that a reason to remove it from the game?
IMO, both are bad. We have too few planes as it is, and to me to actually "ban" one is tantamount to sacriledge.
Plus, the C and D should have very similar FM's. The x6 .50's plus their ammo are about the same weight as the x4 20mm and their ammo. If the FM's were significantly different, then we would know there is a problem.
Sharky, you know as well as I do that the F4U-4B and the F4U-1C are two entirely different beasts.
The -4B has the speed of a G10, much better climb, and hell of alot better acceleration. If these people don't like the -1C, they would absolutely crap their pants over a -4B.
And 1k gunnery? For all the talk on the BBS, I still havent' seen a single person produce film of them consistently getting kills at 1k. Occaisonal hits yes. Regular kills, not in my experience.
Nashwan, 4 Cannon Spit IX's? We already have them. They're called N1K2's
Seriously, they don't bother me. Spitfires that get into good firing solutions on me, kill me quite quickly as it is. Rarely do I come away "shot up" from a spitire. Their guns are quite lethal already. So sure, IMO bring them on.
