Just wish the F4U-1 had some more darker skins :( I like it, just too damn ugly with those lighter skins :cry

Nope, not yet :)

But I am the stubborn idiot that turnfights with SpitV's and Zekes no matter what I'm in :D I'll get the hang of your style :aok

And when I do, you're gonna have to get the hang of turning that thing :)

F4Us got the ability to be able to hang with SpitV and Zekes for a bit if the pilot knows what's going on though. I've heard that the 1A at a certain speed w/ 2 knots flaps down can maintain a turn radius with zeke? True? confirm anyone?

^_^ to all F4U pilot, dont cry about 190s taking the fight on the vert to counter their weakness on the horizontal.
Fiting D9's like watching grass grow....had one dive on my D25 EIGHT times last night...each time, made him miss, he went back up...dove in again. I'm barely above average as a fiter jock, but even I found that pathetic

An F4U will not do well in a slow turn fight on the deck against either a SpitV or Zeke that knows what they're doing.  Dedalos has hammered that lesson into my head several hundred times :)

No offense, Yenny, but I really wouldn't throw out the "easy mode" tag on anyone out there.  From what I've seen you don't push yourself to learn new things yet.  You're still at the stage where you're taking one very simple tactic, and doing it over and over again.  Now that's great for me, as I basically have a gauranteed target drone to learn how to counter it, but not so great for you, as you obviously already know how to do it, and would be better off spending your time trying to learn other things that you are not good at.  'Course, that would require dying over and over again...  And over again :)

You tend to have this delusional concept that everyone enters the game with the same experience as someone who's been here for years, then laugh about it as if you were just born to be a great pilot and you're well ahead of the rest, an "over-achiever".


Take two 10-year-old kids that have never played hockey before.  Let them sign up for whatever league they want.

One kid signs up for the 10&under team and is surrounded by people he can do ok against.

The other signs up for the 12&under team and is pushed around and struggles day after day.

Assuming they both started with the same experience, and natural ability, which kid do you suppose is going to get better quicker?

Guys like Skyrock might rub you the wrong way...  But I've never seen them knock a guy for trying.

You're lucky that's a novice 190 pilot, a good one usually won't take more then 2 passes to take something down.

But the F4U you "have" the option of turnfighting. Many times when I fly F4U if I get a spit on me, I'll drag it away from the furball and tnb with it and usually win. In 190, you just don't have that option. F4U you can bnz like a 190, and the ability to tnb almost like a spit. To me it's easy mode, that's why I don't fly it. When we reverse roll, I fly the F4U-D and you flew the A5, tell me what option you have tnbin it Vudak. I was on your tail pinging you the entire 5 min since we engage. No matter how good a pilot is, he can only perform to his plane max limitation and he'll hit a brick wall.

You are a loudmouth newb who milks the MA for cherries and blames it on your choice of ride.  Face it, you don't know balls about the 190.

Obviously I don't, because I can't outturn an La-7 in a 190 like you claim you can.
