N1k and other planes.
« on: February 21, 2015, 03:38:30 PM »
HTC I really Think the N1k Should be perked in the next update. Also maybe some other planes like the spit16 and LA7's also. But really Perk the n1k.

Because he got killed by the silly things...  :neener: :neener:

But seriously why? They're not that fast, they are mid-range at best in the energy race, they don't accelerate that super well... The only thing people hate is the quad fake hispanos which draws more weaker pilots believing firepower makes up for gunnery...

Don't know about you but killing N1K's are fun to kill like Twitfires.

Gotta remember over the last few years 2 planes "late-war wise" have been unperked thanks to more competition in ability! So don't get your hopes up!

In a nutshell there are 20eny+ rides that are a bigger threat than a N1K.

Put the air to air rockets on it & then :headscratch: ? :headscratch: ? :headscratch:.
Even then it really should not be perked.

Did read about the testing of this plane.
They may have underestimated it's true power it may have had.

Not sure why it should be perked.  Anytime an opponent looks in my general direction, I catch fire.  The 20's on it are the same Type 99's that the A6M2 has, which has bad trajectory. :headscratch:

P-51D would need to be perked before anything else.

Maybe Most of you don't know the sweetness of the n1k. Ask 2cmex yourself. It dives, climbs, accel, and has amazing turn radius. Also thos guns are actually great if you get use to them. IF not perk it, put it at the 5 ENY list.

N1K is a very good fighter Under 10k with a sweet spot at around 5k. It's only real weakness at that alt is its Top speed(Its dive characteristics are pretty good compared to most other Jap fighters). However once the N1K is above 10k, the F4U actaully out climbs it.
The N1K and La7 seems so uber because they are mostly optimized for low level, once they get to the medium and high alt ranges they'll get chewed up.


The Spit16 is a different matter, it holds its amazing performance throughout its Alt range, but it is slower than the average super late war fighter. Iv'e always been confused to why it isn't perked, but I guess its range, lack of out ride speed, and poor attack ability(although not really) are why it doesn't get a perk price.

Why, the Niki is an easy kill, the la7 is no better then anything else above 8k, and the spit16 is slow.

Speed is probably the most important characteristic for a fighter.
