Which plane will the N1K2 pilots go to?

[Urchin]

I'm assuming that the plane will be perked in a few months.  They'll let it have its 6 months of dominance, then they'll perk it.  My guess is the LA7, because thats widely considered to be the 2nd "best" plane in the arena.  Anyone else care to hazard a guess?

P.S. This IS a "niki-whine" thread, for those of you that are keeping track of em.  I'm tired of seeing them all over the place again.  I don't care if perking it rips it from the planes that "newbies" can fly.  If I never see another N1K2 again I'll die a happy man.

My my SOB- I guess that therapy is really doing the trick.

And #2- obviously someone "gives a toejam"... since SOMEONE responded to the thread.  Oh wait, you are just screaming for attention to, nevermind.

Yup, you sound like TAC. Pointless and stupid.

Carry on....

Way off base.  It's obvious that I'm screaming for attention because I haven't searched out a good therapist yet!

LOL... I think you meant "pointless"?  Use a spellchecker, it helps to make sure you don't look like what you are accusing others of being.

I saw More Fw190s today than I did N1K2s.

Go figure.

What percentage of this tour's kills were awarded to the N1K2?

EDIT; I think that the N1K2 would make a very, very bad perk plane.  It is so slow that it hasn't a prayer of reaching saftey when it gets in trouble.  No matter how you fly, you'll quickly lose control of the fight.

The F4U-1C is much better off in that regards.

BTW, the answer to your question is "Spitfire Mk IX" as is clearly demostrated by its firm grip on second place.

Once you convince them to perk the Spit IX it'll be the P-51D, then the La-7, then the Typhoon, then th.......

Actually Creamo, I was laughing at you.  It is so amusing to me to see you have a second-rate intellect to go with your second-rate piloting skill.

Actually, I think the Spit would retain 1st place for a month (maybe)- then the N1K pilots would begin to switch to the LA7.  Just my intuition, but I think I'm right on it.  Just because right now the "best" plane in the MA is a turner doesn't mean the folks that just want to fly the "best" plane are addicted to turners, they are addicted to flying the "best" plane.  Since the tour isn't quite over yet, it'll be tough to get a total % of kills, but I'm bored and I can't sleep, so I'll try to work it out real quick.

[Urchin]

Well, as near as I can figure, the N1K2's total % of kills when you include everything (ships, bombers, GVs) was 11.58%.  

I decided to cut out the Bombers, GV's, and ship guns and ended up with 158,863 kills total.  This should be the total fighter to fighter kills (the kill number including everything was 205,896).  Of this, the N1K2 ended up with 11.82% of the kills.  I'm not sure I'm totally correct, I may have messed something up (statistics really isn't my ballgame).

The Ta-152 ended up with .1% of the total kills using this method.  I'll keep putting in other planes, I'm still bored.

SpitIX had 8.95%.
La7 had 6.53%.
P-51D had 7.1%.
109G10 had 3.16%.
C.202 had .2%.

Anyway, thats just using my method of calculating total fighter to fighter kills.  I think it is right, but I may have made an error somewhere and not realized it.  When I'm really bored I'll go back and do this for the C-Hog, before it got perked.

Urchin, don't reply to stupid replies to your thread, it seems a few people enjoy constantly annoying anyone who posts threads against the poor n1k2-j.  

I have a funny feeling that the n1k wont be changed much and HT yesterday stated that it will NOT be perked.

I was looking at the kill stats the other day for various people who are recognized as good sticks in the MA and for every one I randomly picked out, the greatest death by plane type was N1K.  Every single one had most deaths from the N1K.

It should be perked, HTC should realise this, and probably do but maybe don't want to perk it due to its popularity with the easy kill crowd.

<S>

[DanielMcIntyre]

BTW guess which plane killed Fester the most this tour?

[Nash]

Well... if it's the N1K2... then two of Fester's deaths can be attributed to me. Thank you. Thank you very much.

This is stupid.
