Hmmph. For me, Hogs are some of the easiest kills.

The La7 when flown correctly can hang with a Hog.

Anytime you want to see what an La7 is capable of, come talk to me. Until then, please try not to dissuade the Community with drivel.

Tour 96:

F4U-4 has 2754 Kills of All models, all models have 1256 Kills of F4U-4. 2.19 kill/death ratio.

Spitfire Mk XIV has 1454 Kills of All models, all models have 1139 Kills of Spitfire Mk XIV. 1.28 kill/death ratio.

And you think the F4U-4 is the perk plane that needs to be unperked?

Rich46yo · « **Reply #20 on:** February 07, 2008, 05:09:38 PM »

Please dont ever perk my Dweebmobile AH. My favorite use of it is to up at the nearest strip next to the one were about to lose, scream in at about 400 mph 5' off the ground, either look for a goon, or troops, or do a suicide run on the poor suckers landing.

Theres no pride in being a LA-7 Dweeb there is only....well...dweebery. Its the one airplane thats garunteed to piss off every enemy you come up against. I know Ive flown a well flown dweeb run when I have 10 Reds chasing me at full throttle.

It would crush us dweebs if it were perked and we were forced to fly a real airplane.

The F-4U-4? I was quite surprised the first few times I saw the thing turn. For a big airplane it really turns well. I always loved the looks of a Corsair as well. Its a truly handsome bird. One day I'll get around to learning how to fly it.

Dogg in a hog is dangerous.
Dogg in a hog-4 violates strategic arms limitation treaties.

I've gone 1v1 with Dogg in hogs; my -1 against his -1A. Some day he'll have to show me how he reverses so fast. I think we were even on kills, but that's only because I had about 20 friendlies in the area to distract him.

I very rarely ever fly the -1a. I usually only fly the -1 when I just out to have fun and get more perks quickly. I fly the -1c for attack roll. -4 for out #'d situations, Bomber escort, or I have to catch runners (la7, d9's and runstangs).

Has no, or should have no bearing on perk value. That's what the OBJ rating is for.

Funny... I say the same thing about LA-7s when I'm flying a hog.

Bout the only time LA's ever get me is when they HO.

Gabriel · « **Reply #27 on:** February 07, 2008, 08:18:17 PM »

F4U is generally , in my opinion a very good fighter. The -4 is the best of the F4Us. Sort of annoying going up against a plane twice your weight and have him hovering around with flaps/gear down.

Major Biggles · « **Reply #28 on:** February 08, 2008, 01:05:03 AM »

a decent stick in the lgay will give the hog a really hard time. it'd be an interesting matchup...

i'd expect the hog to win, but actually, in a 1 on 1 otd the lgay may have the upper hand.

we're talking great sticks here, in noth planes. the la7 is capable of amazing things if you know how to use throttle properly.

For cherrypickers, the F4U-4 is probably better.

You and I have dueled in these, and I didn't see it that way. La-7 has a very slight edge initially, but as the fight slows, the F4U-4 shows its better handling. Get real slow and the La-7 is in real trouble. I'd call it a draw. But only on the deck... Go above 5k and the F4U-4 is superior. Go above 10k and it's a mismatch.

My regards,
