Doesn't look like Spit 16 gained much from the N1K usage decline:


(as usually, "usage" = Kills + Deaths)

I thought the N1K was an NOE favorite?  "JOIN MISHIN, NIKKIS AND 110S!!!!" :lol  It can carry 1100 lbs of ords, after all, and the cannons work great on buildings.

Who would join if the quote was "JOIN MISHUN, NOE P40S AND HURR1S!!  :rofl

Your self rightousness is showing.

There are a great many aircraft that the P-51D and Fw190D-9 easily stroll away from that are not N1K2-Js or Spitfire Mk XVIs.

Your mischaracterizations are pathetic.

Take a look at the post I was responding to...

No stereotype is ever true 100% of the time, I just try to balance one with another, if you know what I mean.

Ding ding ding! We have a correct answer!

No reason to take a n1k2 with fishy ballistics, worse turning, slower roll rate when the uber bogus spixteen rules the skies in far greater numbers.

Newbie gets killed by 20 spits, starts flying spits, finds he gets more kills than before, stays with spits.

What I win? If only the Spitfire Mk.16 had 21lbs of boots, then we could all get more kills in our Spitfires!

The La7 is as deadly as it ever was, or, if its not, it must have been insane before, I feel the same is likely true for the N1K.

Benefit of the doubt, maybe a lot of the player base has decided to fly planes they've actually heard of and have historical/coolness factor for them, instead of flying whatever is hyper-modeled or can HO really well?

LA7 is not what it used to be.  Not the same impact.

Lushe,

Ignore Karnak with his narrow mind.

Substitute spit for whatever, the example still holds true. Newbie comes into the game flying what he thinks is a great plane, gets killed repeatedly by other newbies, moves to "ride X" (which in 90% of cases is a spitfire) and finds out he can now get the same kills as they can. End result: N1k2 "George" gets flown less.


I don't think the N1K2 is any less effective than it used to be. I landed 10 kills in it after it was remodeled (all bombers). However, the La7 and the Me262 both got nerfed a bit (the 262 a lot), so while there may be performance reasons for their decline, I think there are other reasons at work with the N1K2.

I think when they remoded the F6 that they did the Nikki a little bit and it got a little sluggish.

The LA7 was toned down a bit after that update but the LA5 was hit much harder. They were both made more difficult to fly and had a much worse view out of the back. Still in the hands of a capable sim pilot, they were still very deadly. The LA7 is a bit more unstable and doesn't turn like it used to. It's been while since I've flown, but I the LA5 was hit the hardest out of the two, it was pretty easy to lawn dart if you were dog fighting close to the ground. It just didn't seem to want to pull up smetimes, even at low speeds.
