F4U-4

[Coalcat1]

So, now the F4U-1A is a second rate fighter?

And your answer to the La-7 is to unleash a new monster, even worse than the La7?
No thank you.
Some of us like to fly planes that actually made a difference in WWII. We already have P47M as the most common Jug and 3-cannon La7s as the standard Lala. The last thing we need is that the standard F4U will be the -4, which is (AFAIK) the last plane to enter service of the AH set. If that happens, HTC may as well add the F8F bearcat, DH Hornet, and Yak3P, and we will have a 1946 arena.

Will I get my flying wing and Ta-183

Hmmmm... this sounds like a fun challenge. You up for some DA time, then? Your -4 vs my aircraft?

Lol I don't fly -4 them enough to handle it well, it's not my craft. Best to find a hog dweeb to fight, I'm no where near one of them.


Come on.

109 dweeb I am.

[Saxman]

Right. Make the best prop fighter in the game free? Nope. Not gonna happen.

Problem is imo in the way CV:s are used. when u are running them all the way up on the shore they become very vulnerable. Especially when there is no cap over them to prevent bombers from going in. A real world CV would see the same faith. After all, the Japanese navy carriers where defeated by SBD:s. Keep CV away from shore and they live longer. More F4U-4:s will not change that much.
The ability to launch LVT:s should not be dependant on how close CV is to shore, adding some sort of "landing fleet" should make a lot fore the CV:s abillity to survive. Maybe some destroyers escorting a few transport ships that LVT:s are launched from.

Zimme I have made a thread about that months ago, for us to have different types of cv groups for a more integrated gameplay.

There is a problem with just adding new content.  It is will the players use it? We have formations and a way to lock them together for better carpet bombing. Do we see that? No we see noe lancs dive bombing targets.

Randy has his thread about ENY. I think what he's shooting for is having players forced into flying 2nd and 3rd tier planes by the end of the month instead of seeing the same old late war monsters.

Giving players more options doesn't always work out like you think it might. Why spend more time making cv operations different/more realistic if all they do is the same old beach the cv and hope the lvts get the capture before the cv is sunk.

The problem is there aren't any area targets which would require this method or even benefit considerably by it. The single factories out there are small enough to be smashed by single bombers. A single B-29 formation can even get the City down to 40%

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 would if the La carried enough fuel to go anywhere.

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.

Best prop fighter in game.
