F4U-1

P.S. I really am tired of all the other threads about which new sucky plane will be next! I think we as a community need to get back to our regularly scheduled arguments! I will vote for the B-25 just for Toad's dad to maybe fly cover for them.

F4U-1... But this always was a nice matchup in the MA.

does it matter which is better? this is a loaded question....everyone knows what matters is the pilot.

besides...the K4 owns both of them.

I belive this thread is a poke at me.

SkyRock and I went to the DA last night to duke it out in F4U-1 (him) and Lala (me). The argument was which was the best MA fighter; obviously a duel won't tell us that, but nevertheless we went at it. After each had augered once I got him in a rope, then he got me twice in turn fights. As was expected the best turner made the best dueling plane (and SkyRock “insisted” using the Lala’s superior performance in the vertical was timid and dweebish

)... and I never was much of a duelist anyways.

The Lala is still the better MA fighter because any rookie can jump in one and get kills, and even survive if he's lucky. The F4U needs a more experienced pilot to be successful in a multi-plane environment like the MA, and an experienced pilot in the Lala can be almost untouchable and rack up incredible numbers of kills.

But alas … killing (or rather murdering in absolute safety) in the Lala gets boring after a while, so now I’m killing in the 110G instead and enjoying every minute of it!

~~SkyRock. Fun fights!~~

F4U-4, as stated many times, is the best prop driven plane in the game.

It's perked. Of the perked prop rides many will argue the Tempest is the best for Arena fights.

I fly the F4U-1 a lot. I have hardly ever flown the La-7, but I have flown against them a lot, of course. I think the La-7 is perhaps the better plane for Main Arena conditions. It's faster, climbs better, rolls well, has good firepower, turns well (although it can't match the low turn radius of an F4U-1 when the F4U-1's flaps are deployed), and can dictate the fight then disengage if things are going poorly.

The Tempest and Typhoon, currently nerfed by the screw up in the trim tables, will beat the F4U-4 hands down or when flown by somebody who knows what they're dealing with, I'll admit.

And here's the rest of the story.....
He extended zoom climbed after every merge, 1st I get overshoot get on his 6 and he augers. 2nd I get overshoot get on his 6 and accidentally hit a magically appearing tree as I pull trigger. 3rd I get over shoot get on his 6 in vert and go to kill him and no hits( conv set to 200 gahhh!) so he falls down on me and kils me(rope). 3rd I get him to overshoot and get on his 6 and kill him. 4th I go vert with him(after setting conv to 500) and blast him out of sky! 5th I get on his 6 and kill him.

By the way, I am not trying to poke fun of you viking, I enjoyed the fights even with the disco and invisible trees! hee hee I thought you flew the fights well and I thank you for them. I was just tired of reading arguments about what planes should be in the set, when most don't even know how to fly the ones we have! I do believe I proved that the la7 is limited against the f4u, without cannons it would be worthless except for running! If you look at how I fare against la7's in my 1-hog, maybe one out of every tour is someone who gets me to go for the rope, other than that,all the kills that la7's get on me are ganger dweebs jumping into an already 1 vs multi! I rarely ever loose to an la7 in a 1 vs 1 no matter what plane I am flying. They are just to limited in what they can do!

viking!

You are off your rocker! LMAO! THe f4u-4 is the absolute hands down best prop fighter in AH2. It will eat a tiff or tempests' lunch with hardly any effort!:aok

I go purely by numbers on this one, as I don't fly either of them. On paper, the Tempest is generally better.
