to get BnZed as soon as you take off beacouse your f4u1a because it cant stay up with the p51ds is horrible. Just saying.

You chose to launch from there. You did not choose to launch from a neighboring sector/field and utilize the patience needed to use the F4U-4's particular combat strengths (speed at altitude, boom & zoom capability, etc...) to your advantage. The F4U-4 is an absolute powerhouse and needs to remain perked.

you mean fly the Spit ,  never off a carrier. , espicaly a spit II

Never said anything about the spit - you can use the Zero, FM2, seafire (now I said the spit), any other plane that takes your fancy. Just an option is all.

The perk hog is a death trap for me.  I fly it wrong.  It is a beast.  In the right hands, the best prop plane we have.  Hizookas on the Temps and in good hand there, oh, a toss up?  Maybe.  Different birds.  Either Temp or Dash-4.  Both beasts with the right stick in seat.  Sadly, I am neither.  I applaud all who excel in either.

I was fighting in a furball, and our carrier planes were being owned by P51Ds, LAs, 109s, just give the carrier pilots an equalizer. I mean , to get BnZed as soon as you take off beacouse your f4u1a because it cant stay up with the p51ds is horrible. Just saying.

After a year and flying 20 sorties on your 2 week free trial, you just haven't figured out you don't get to finish the game that easy and beat it in a day?

/I am shocked a shade who tries to troll so hard - but some of his previous comments clearly don't show him to be a 13 yr old newbie like he wants us to believe.

The fair fight is called MVP/MLB or in other words - baseball. I dont think you are ready for football yet.

+1

Everytime I take a -4 or a -1C out, 50% of the time the main fuel tank takes a hit and I have to ditch, 40% of the time I get shot down, and 10% of the time I will land with kills. I've been flying around 7 years now.

The -4 and -1C's most vulnerable point seems to be the single internal tank in my opinion. I think for that reason alone it should not be perked as-is. Carrying an aux. fuel tank on either plane brings down the performance closer to or below that of a jug.

There may be a reason why the F4U's have famously been referred to as "hogs."

I agree, we need to unperk the F4U-4.  It is very inferior to planes that are above me when I'm taking off of a capped field or CV.  Might as well unperk the 262, too.  There's no way that plane can have any chance of survival with 190s and P51s above the base.

+1 to unperking the F4U-4 and Me-262
