Gameplay sucks lately because....

[Sunchaser]

....everyone keeps shooting me but the real reason is the favorite whipping boy, the C-Hog.

Burn it, remove it or perk the godamned thing!!

Please.

When did they put this thing in here and WTF is it for?

Good I deleted my account before 1.05, saved me from such nerve breakdown  

[Pepino]

I disagree.

From my point of view, gameplay itself is funnier, only the planeset airborne and, thus, available to shoot down is "a little" boring. Seems like 90% Quakebirds lately.

Cheers,

Question:
Would you rather see a gaggle of C-Hogs or a gaggle of N1K's?

You'll see the latter if the C-Hog is eliminated.

[Karnak]

Ripsnort, you say that but you have no evidence.  Stating something as fact when it is a theory is silly of you.

HTC, please make the F4U-1C a 5 point perk.

The F4U-1D is quite capable, so the Hog fans should not be left without a mount.

I have plenty of evidence, as a matter of fact, 11 years worth...in every flight sim online I've flown, at LEAST 20% will always fly the best A/C available.  Any other questions, Grasshopper?

[Ripsnort]

Yeah, I know better than to answer arogantly like that...let me try it again...

I've seen a number of online sims where better than 20% of the population will always fly 'the best' A/C in the sim, ie. whichever A/C has generally a better advantage over their counter-parts.

I just hate to see this thing turn into a 'Perk this plane/Vehicle' war...if you do one, you may be opening up a flood gate, but, Pyro knows more about this than I do, so, perk the C-Hog, makes no dif to me...other than I will have to deal with an overwhelming number of N1K's and IMO, they are much more difficult to put up with than the C-Hogs.

CHOG and N1k should be both perked.

Its all I see lately during field attacks. CHOGS on the attacking side and N1ks on the side defending. Why? CHOG is good for ground attack and can easily WING COMMANDER its way into snap shooting any defenders coming from nearby fields..even if they have alt advantage. N1k can loop 11 times and gain alt on each one right after takeoff and its guns are just like the chog's.

They are extremely unbalancing. They must be perked as either 5 or 8 point perks. If you really want the cannon power and antigrav drive performance, you should first DESERVE it.

[Ripsnort]

See, Pyro?  Tac makes my point I made a month ago, where does it stop?

[SOB]

Rip...I don't think it's going to turn into much of a problem as far as what to perk.  Pyro gave the reasons for why he'd perk the Chog, and it wasn't to give into the whiners (hi Tac!), it was because of how it skewed the point system.  Hopefully they can find a way around that and not have to perk the Chog, but if not, it sounds like it's gonna be pretty cheap, and the whiners will have even more to whine about.  Good sticks will still be able to fly the Chog regularly...I find few things more frightening then that bastard KBMan and his Chog coming at me with alt.

I don't see what the big deal is. If you can't shoot down a certain type of plane, don't engage it. It's not like there isn't a huge neon sign above each con telling you from miles away what kind of plane it is. The chog is a great jabo plane, for a2a I'd rather be in my 109F. And yes, two pings from a chog and my 109F disintegrates. But that's my fault for letting him get the shot in..

"I don't see what the big deal is. If you can't shoot down a certain type of plane, don't engage it"

If it was done that way folks would need full fuel and DT's so they could roam the arena for a few hours trying to find something besides a Nik or Chog that wasnt already being attacked by a Nik or Chog.

[Sunchaser]

Eagler, I do not engage other planes, I fly bombers.

The C hog is a freak and does not belong in a WWII simulation that does not concern itself with the last five minutes of WWII but its presence in this GAME does not really bother me that much.

I agree with Ripsnort, the N1K will be the next unbalancer if the C hog is removed or perked too high.
 
At least the N1K served for a reasonable time and in sufficient numbers to make falling to them over 20% of the time a bit less irritating..

The solution is an Historical Arena for us crybabies.

And I will betcha that if/when we ever get one it will, after the new wears off, usually be empty.

[maik]

Totally agree with ya Sun.

Rip, I don't see the Nik will be flown that much as the damC-Hog is flown now.

Perk that Damn thing  .
