I love the F4U-4 and would like to use it more often. I propose unperking (or reducing the perks) when taking off of a cv only. This way I'll have something to counter the LA7's. However, I am not recommending to unperk the -4 when lifting off a land based field.

Translation: the La7 is unperked, why isn't the 4-hog?


Responce:  when was the last time you fought an La7 (or forced him to fight you) above 7k in a F4U-1_?  A cheaper/free 4-hog is necessary to accomplish this, because?

This is unworkable as any player can game themselves to lower stats.

-1  The plane is too .  Besides it's cheap anyway.

The -4 is an uber monster of a beast. Unperking it would lead it to being the most seen ride in the MA.


Leave it perked, besides its only perked at 25 or so. Very easy to get if you stay out of the low eny rides.

 maybe it would cure some of the "score potatos" and even lead to less timid playstyle
  perhaps grade the score into the perk cost,not a replacement but just part of it.

I agree that the LA7 is a bit imba. . .it is incredibly powerful.  But the U4 is a lot stronger.  I agree that it is the hands down best prop fighter in the game although the tempest is perked for a good reason, but the tempest cannot knife fight like the U4 can. . . and yes, the spit 14 does not need to be perked. 

So this must be a perk LA7 thread in disguise?


see what I did there?    :joystick:

Not really a problem, plenty of unperked CV a/c that can counter an LA7,Spit,Hurricane or pretty much anything else.

It's not but then planes aren't really your strong point so I can understand why you didn't know.

Lol, AKAK, you decide to take up trolling as a hobby?
You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

You will now address him as Mr.Head. Calling him by his first name is also allowed but it might be mistaken for a personal attack.  :aok

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.
