I vote to remove the next plane on the list that will surely follow.  And the next plane, and the next plane, until we are left with just 1 plane to fly...then I'll vote to remove that one too, so that we have no planes to fly.

Honestly I feel this a/c shouldn't have been modeled but since its here I don't think it should be removed. Once you can get out of its way it usually a pretty easy kill. I think that cannon lethality should be looked into. I have noticed that things like, fighters, bombers, tanks, fuel dumps, large beer bottles and pizzas vaporize very quickly when the Area 51(TM) high speed advanced technology projectile weapons are trained on them.

remove the blasted thing as many have stated before, at least untill we have some more super limited production late late late late war super planes.

and the guns just cant be correct have seen 3 pings take off the wing of a 17 just silly.

I vote NO
mainly for the reason Verm states, it would set a dangerous precedent.

However, I will vote to fix all the hispanos.  Every hispano armed bird has a major advantage.  They can peel panzers in one pass (even spits, I've done it and had it done to me).  I peeled to 2 panzers in a single pass (very close together) in a P38 with guns only.  It had to be that single hispano that peeled them, because I've survived 7 passes from a P-51 and watched it fly away while I was laughing in my tank.

Who needs cannon anyway?  I usually land with all 150 of me 20mm rounds unless I was attacking bombers or ground targets

Remove it ...NO
Tune down the guns for play ballance or peace of mind.....NO
Find out why they seem to be more excellent then the historical record seems to support..

Yes...
Or this is not going to go away.   I dont want all cannons in the game to be equivilent. I want the flavour. I want the HS to have its advantages and its weaknesses.
I hope that HTC gets the gunnery routines to such a state that they can plug in the numbers for the HS or any other cannon and go ahhhhh thats it. I believe they will. Or my six HS Martin Baker MB5 will be a real handful.

It ruins the game
people should be flying Tiffie for ground attack/panzer killing. Instead tehy fly the hog cuz its so much better. Try a 4 cannon a8 then a 4 cannon hog and see the difference in lethality.

Zigrat   dont mean this to be an attack  but i though i read some where that the Ic was a US ground attack plane.   i could be wrong i dont remember where i read that at.
    one other thought  i dont think that the plane is that hard to kill as long as he does not have alt on you.  the plane is not really uber its nothin more than a hog that can kill with snap shots.  the last thing i would want to see is HTC to start turning down cannon power. it would affect alot of planes here not just the hog.  i think pyro showd his reasons y the cannons are soo powerfull back in a 50 cal thread.

Does anyone remember Torque's common 8-10 kills in the n1k2 before the 1C came out?  Should we get rid of that one too?

That's a plane I'm actually afraid of if I see it come above me, the f4u-1c is easily avoided.  Let's get rid of the George.
