how do you make the corsair float?

[Anodizer]

so you have to get the airplane stoned?

Yes....

Love when people underestimate my hog or even my jug , hehehehe.

I've killed you hot vs hog a few times, and I'm barely average in the F4U.  We won't mention the other 20 enemy cons you were dodging at the time; I'm sure they had no impact on the outcome. 

Any time you're up for some 1v1 Hog vs Hog action let me know.  I need lessons badly, and lessons from the best are best.  You do things with that beast I can only dream about.

We REALLY need fewer people flying the F4U.  If the unwashed masses ever figured out what it is and what it can do (and learned how to do it) the ENY would bottom out on the whole series.

I posted about this before and it's been discussed many times, or so I hear.  It's all about dumping flaps, and even someone who's a F4U noob like me can do it.  Because it was a carrier plane, the F4U was required to have a very low stall speed with flaps deployed; much slower than a Spitfire.  Sometimes the most difficult thing about fighting a F4U is how slowly they're able to fly!

combine all that with massive horsepower......

I think that's what largely keeps her safe from ENY. With the high levels of ADD among the kiddies these days the yank-and-bank Spit Dweebs can't be bothered to take the time to learn there's more to ACM than following your opponent around in a circle.

And I think the closest I've ever gotten to shooting down Dogg was landing a few lucky hits into the engine of his 4-Hog to start it smoking while in an FM-2. But I couldn't get around for a finishing shot.

They SERIOUSLY need to fix the glass engine on the F4Us....

Once I figured out the F4U was Dogg ("You have been totally spanked by AKDogg") I started filming.  Somewhere I have "You have just done the impossible, you dweeb, and I'm now compelled to give you credit for killing AKDogg even though you are not worthy to wash his flight suit" in the message buffer of a film.  It only took half the Knight air force to distract him so I could single-mindedly bore in for the kill.

Seriously, I could survive two, maybe three (rarely) merges in a -1 against his -1A in those brief moments when he could give his attention to one fight. 

That film has been reviewed nearly to the point of obsession just to see how a master handles the aircraft.

If you want to know how to float an F4U he's one of the guys who can show you.  There are others in the game, but Dogg is the first name that comes to mind.

I don't fly the -1a,  I don't like it.  I rather fly -1.  Key thing to know about the hog is being smooth with the inputs.  U pull to hard to quickly and u get snap rolls and u bleed E to fast and obviously u lose the adv.  Having your joystick options setup correctly for the hog is the key to making it do what I do with it.  What I mean by that is the damping, flaps, wep, etc..  I use the Old MS Precision 2 joystick.  Its nothing fancy or special but it is very accurate and smooth.  If u have a logitec, forget flying the hog to its full potential.  Those joysticks spike to much right out of the box.

I love the -1 as long as I don't try to maneuver too sharp, I can't get the hang of it in hard maneuvers, but I love it when I fly it to my normal style (BnZ and hit and run), but its great when I get slow to evade.
