Landing only multiplies the perks by 1.25, so while it helps it is by no means required.

-1  Coming from a F4U flyer.  The 4 20mms basically rip through anything that comes in line with it.  For how much ammo is in the wings to the ords package it can carry, It should not be un-perked.

-1  It is just not that expensive for all that you get with a C-Hog.

You guys are hilarious.  The C-Hog isn't that great.

Practical outcomes would seem to disagree with you.

Perking is about the whole arena gameplay.
It seems to me that you are looking at this plane from a strictly individual perspective.

As someone who lived through the great Chog Scourge the thought of unperking it fills me with fear and loathing.

It should be un-perked just because it fills Soulyess with fear and loathing.  :neener:

Seriously though the C-hog is one dangerous bird, and deserves the perk price it has.

With all of the cannon armed aircraft flying around in the MA, and the recent unperking of the Spit14, I am confused to the reason the F4U-1C is still a perked aircraft.

This fact actualy is one of the main supporting reasons for...


Also take into consideration the limited environment in which the F4-U is mostly operating: Carrier operations.
It's highly unlikely you will still see a large amount of F-4UD and F6F operating from CV when the 4x Hispano -1C is available.

this fact, and the perk cost (which, relative to the other perk aircraft, isn't very high).

-1

It does have the ord to kill 2 hangars IIRC. All missions would use the chog as default, all pilots upping from a cv wouldn't even consider using anything else...I still shivers thinking of the F4U times  :eek:

I was there too!  I remember those days all to well.

I submit that some of you are correct that we would see hordes of C-Hogs and therefore less -1's - also less heavy P-47D's as well.  For that reason alone, I recant my stance that it should be unperked.  So basically on the C-Hog's amazing versatility AND 4x Hispanos, leave it perked but I don't think it warrants the same cost as an F4U-4.  NOW that is a beast.

The -4 is really good, but I think in the hands of the vast majority in the arena, it's not that much more of a threat than a pony.  Put it in the hands of a capable dogfighter though, and it is indeed a scary plane.
