The most over-rated aircraft in the hangar

[pokecheck]

Just like the title says, what is the most over-rated aircraft in our plane set.

What do you mean by over-rated?

We collectively thinks it's good, but it's not that good?
It is over-used?
It is over-modelled?

LA-7
Tempest Close second.

And what's bringing you to that conclusion?

I would vote for the N1K.

The FireFly, either it's gun was upped or the Tiger's armour was porked. La-7 and Temp are perfectly fine where they are.

(P63 would be the end to the La-7, they'd have to PERK the P-63.)

I would say your understanding of the 17lbr gun is what is porked.

1+, seriously man, stop going on with this P-63 stuff! Dedicate a topic to it in the wishlist section if you want it that bad.

The La7, Typhoon, and Nik2 are over-tated???

Hmm.  They are not some of the first planes to be grabbed even by the "l337" for nothing.  The Typhoon is the "hardest" plane of those three to learn, but once the strong points are learned and they are taken advantage of, the Typhoon is a devsitating plane.

The Nik and La7 are not oever-rated.  In fact, I think they are under-rated just like the Spit16.

The most over-rated plane in the game is the Spit14.  It is not unlike any other Spit until it gets to 18k ('cept a better climb rate and dual .50cal instead of quad .30cal MG's).  But for some reason it is PERKED and the Spit16 is not.  The P51D is another plane that is over-rated.  It is not a plane one can just hop into and fly like the La7, Spit16, or Nik2.  The P51D takes time to learn.

I just think the N1K is over-rated because it's not very fast and its 20mm ballistics are average.  Secondly, the airplane only excels at furballing, and is more or less helpless vs. hit and run tactics in a multi-aircraft engagement.  The most effective N1K pilots are great shots who kill with the smallest window of opportunity; I know when I've run into them because I end up in the tower.

So, you are saying it isn't fast enough for you to run away in, and that is a problem for you?

You beat me to this.

There is nothing wrong with the gun on the Firefly.  It was able to kill a Tiger with one shot in real life, no reason why it shouldn't be able to do it here.
