Verm, removing a historical plane might be a bad idea, but I wonder if putting it in wasn't an even worse one.
The thing is, the difference is flight characteristics are negligble between the C and D The same cannot be said about the 109's (maybe between G10 and G6, but if you're a dedicated 109 driver, I think you'll find a substantial difference).
My main two arguments is the fantastico guns of the C, the fact that flight models are almost identical and then that regulars are planning to leave.
I don't know how the A5 will fly, and if it is similar to A8, then I say we don't need it. If it is an A8 with Überguns, leave it out too.
Mostly I stay well clear of the F4U's guns, but sometimes I get within D800 which is about where the F4UC lethality becomes a big factor.
Sure, the plane is overrated. I mean, it's a C with big guns. The guns, however, make a world of difference in this case.
What good logical reasons would there be to keep it in the game? Granted, your point is well made that it is a historical aircrat (albeit it was produced in very low numbers and IIRC, not widely used in AA). One other argument would be that they've spent time modelling it (doubtful, adding other guns and tweaking the FM just a little would be enough) and a third that it is a favourite ride of many people.
Verm; I'll make you an offer. I'll sacrifice one of my favourite planes, the G10 or the FW190A8 for the taking out of the Hog C. I do this to keep some regulars I really like in the game, among with the other reasons I've described.
Fair enough?
Not that it is my choice, but it goes to show what I am willing to do.
