Ki-84 can do up to about 480 m.p.h in a dive in experienced hands.

The F4U-4 is unperked at the furball lake in the DA.

I have been flying the KI4 for a few weeks and I have regularly exceeded 500mph.

Now I just have to learn how to keep the wings on :frown:

I learned to fly the P-38 from flying the Ki-84 quite a bit, basically the P-38 at alt from 24-28k has a very NARROW window to compress, I mean you literally can fly 400mph and compress doing 425.
Ki-84 I keep around 480 then crab it in, shallow dive until I max my speed around until I get to lower alt.

84 is quite easy to learn once you dealt with the problems the 38 has in compression a few times.

Don't believe I've ever lost a wing. Can you teach me?  :)

Out of all the kills the P51 has this month, 2.5% of them are F4U-1As
Out of all the kills the F4U-1A has this month 6.7% of them are P51s.

Maybe the hog should be perked being almost 3 times as good as the pony

How many noobs flies -1As compared to a -51D?
I say perk the ordnance, not the plane. Want 3 guns on a La-7? Pay the perks. Want 2x 1000lb and rockets on a 51D? Pay the perk.

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

Anyone who brings a 262 to a strat/HQ is bat poop insane.

They don't have to.  I've flown a 163 2-3 sectors to get into a fight then been able to RTB to the 163 base.  One day I flew two sectors out, chased a 262 two more sectors out and still RTB'd but to a different base two sectors behind me.

I've done the 163/262 fight a few times this way, no where near HQ.

Anyway, I was just saying, a 163 will beat a 262.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.
