F4U-4

[tunnelrat]

(Please read the entirety of what I am saying before the -1 storm)

CV fights.  The stuff of legends.  Sometimes.

Depending on how fast the fun police level-bomb the carrier back into the stone-age, there is one other thing that kind of ruins a good CV fight...  taking carrier planes up against the inevitable swarm of Spixteens, La-7s, etc...

I don't mind fighting those fighters... the problem is that they don't really want to fight. 

So what, on the carrier, can compete?  Perfomance wise, at carrier fight alts?  Only the dashfour can compete with the La-7...

So, my ill-conceived flamebait wish?

Unperk the F4U-4 (give it an incredibly low ENY), remove the ordnance capabilities so it doesn't just become an uncatchable bombtruck, and limit it to ONLY CV use.

(For what it's worth, I don't at all even want to fly it, it would just make the fights more fun if I had allies capable of running the Lalas down)


Okay, fire away.

I wouldn't see any problem with reducing the perks for one with NO ords. Kind of like the T34/85 or M18's (1 or 2 perks) then bump it up when Ords are used, to where it stands now.

+1 

Just for carrier ops though...leave it perked as it is for land bases

[darkzking]

or perk the la7

or perk the la7   

I'm 100% down with this.

So your real wish is "I wish I could kill LA7's" go ahead we all know that is what your really trying to say.

Why not just wish for the F8? Roughly the same time frame and frequency of being in it's ww2 general area of operations as the La7 with three B-20. La7 was flown with two ShVAK.

or perk the la7   

 To be honest,of all the fast birds,the LA7 is the one that runs the least.
Most LA pilots do not suffer from spine degeneration like the p51/190 guys do,they are actually willing to mix it up in it.

They tend to handle better than 190's and have more capabilities than the average 51 pilot could ever put his craft's abilities to use.

It's not your life you risk while flying the F4U4, just some perks.

[Skyyr]

Above 9k, all F4U's outperform the LA. So -1 to the reasoning behind the request.

That said, I'd like to see it unperked as it's not that great of a fighter to begin with.

Not true.

[xPoisonx]

The great cv fights with 1cs and -4 usually end up with them spiral climbing around their ack to 10k before picking uppers off a base, and if you go after them puffy gets you.

So -1, we don't need more of those pilots 

[darkzking]

hate to break it to you guys but u dont need a -4 to kill LA7s when u can up a wildcat (not the noob Fm2)

Hahahahahahaha yes... I upped an F4F-4, and it was almost like the La-7s were 100mph faster on the deck.
