OK I have the perfect solution to this latest Spit whine.  Give us a 1942 full span wing Spitfire LFVc to go with our 1942 FIXc, a 1943 clipped wing Spitfire FXII to go with our 1943 Spitfire LFVIIIc,  a 1944 full span wing Spitfire LFIXe with +18 boost, and then the 1945 clipped wing Spitfire LFXVIe with +25 boost that is perked to go with our perked Spitfire FXIVe.  With our 1940 Spitfire I and 1941 Spitfire Vb we'd have it covered.

I'll leave the Seafire componant to Kev :)

Happy now?  :aok

Sounds good Dan.

The 1942 LFVc should be clipped though (with the cropped impellor and 18lbs boost).

Seafires are easy -
Our current IIc (one of the rarest Seafires, prefer the LIIc) plus the MOST produced Seafire of all - the LIII.

I would say that unperking the C-Hog could be a fix to this issue.  It's just a difficult situation at times since most of the unperked rides can't really compete with the 16.

Personally, I had just watched an F6F show on the History Channel when I started playing this game, so that was my first ride, I then moved over to the spitfires for a bit, and then gravitated towards the P-51's.  I agree that there is merit in leaving the XVI unperked as long as it's balanced in terms of another unperked ride that can compete as equals with it.  I get the feeling that the C-Hog is widely considered it's equal?

P.S. My post before was just me showing that everything is subjective, I wasn't taking a stance one way or another.  I was just saying that it's really hard to have an argument about something like this because people see things so many different ways and naturally will use information and wording to aid their argument.  I think what the majority of people are calling for is just as stated above, although I fear if we unperk the C-Hog, we're going to see as many of them as we see Spitfires, and the skies will become even more unfriendly to those who take up other rides.  It'd be nice to see a trial week or something like that to get a feel for it.

Sure, unperk the F4U-1C.  It would be an interesting experiment.

Would have to change the game name to C-Hogs High, Lo and every where in between.

Unperk a hog, which is clearly the most versatile plane in the game, which also has HUGE amounts of ammo for the best air-to-air gun in the game, of which it has 4.  No the spixteen is not the chog's equal... no no no.

It's not a troll.  You simply don't have an answer to my assertion. This will be clear to any who read it.

Calling troll as a way of avoiding answering a question seems to be a very common practice these days.

That’s a nice list you have their Guppy, do we have room for a Spitfire LF Mk. IXe with 25lbs of boost, I would rather have 303s in my uber perked ride then .50cals. :P

an LFIXe is exactly the same as an LFXVIe.  I suppose if HTC would make the wing type an option on the Spits..... :)

The chog might be better if the fight is something like 4+ 1Cs vs. 4+ XVIs.  But 1:1, the spit wins it more than half the time, easily.

I think it would be and would confirm whether or not, if with our current plane set is the F4U-1C still unbalancing?

And you will never see the F4U-1D ever again . . . probably not the F6-F either.
