N1k and other planes.

[bustr]

Spit 16 is ranked #32 in top speed @ sea level.

Hey Lusche, wouldn't a better measure of speed in the MA below 15K. Diving until 400 is reached WEP or not. Then how long the fighter in question holds that speed?

For a very short period the Spit16 using a dive will get within guns distance to a running poni where many of them are on WEP but, didn't dive first to max speed to run away. So will a spit8, Brewster, A6m5, Hurri and so forth. But, for very tiny varying length windows of opportunity.

It still comes down to pilot skill or, luck with less experienced players. And it's how those pesky Brewsters and A6m always get me when I don't pay attention. I always pay attention to spit16 because they can trade alt for amazing speed in a moment. I've run down my share of ponis knowing this in a spit16.

Heck the Yak 9u should be perked. You can dive it to 500 and run down 262 for a short window of time. It gets to 500 very fast in a dive and fly's like a P-80 at that point. Himmm, small airframe, pointy nose, pointy wings.....yeah P-80.

Neither of the planes listed give me much concern. The ones that do are Ki-84, Bf109k4, F4U-4, and FM2's. Not that I think those planes are Uber except the 4 hog, but I think good sticks tend to gravitate towards them.

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.

As the CO of a squad I imagine that you have a lot of AH knowledge. At least enough to know that ord is a consideration of the ENY. Go bomb a town with a N1k2, deack, defend yourself against the uppers and return to base...Nope, it shouldn't even be 8 ENY under that criteria, as I can name immediately about it half dozen that do it much better.

As Morf always says, "YMMV"

The N1k is an excellent ground attack fighter, just 3 N1ks can knock a strats down to around 40 percent if used properly. I feel its ENY is warranted.

Unperk the C-hog

Unperk the C-hog

The C-hog is probably the most capable JABO aircraft in game. The 900+ 20mm rounds more than make up for the 4 rockets it loses over the F4U-1D.  If the F4U-1C was unperked you'd see a disgusting amount of them in the air.

apparently at one time, it was, and you did.

I do think the f4u-c should be perked a little less than the f4u-4, like it was not so long ago.

The F4U-c sees more usage and more success than the F4u-4. See: http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,345669.msg4931583.html#msg4931583
The -4 has more power, but the -C's gun package is from out of this world.

For those not here since the beginning of times... the F4U-C the very reason for the invention of "perk planes".

People sure do like the odd-ball 4 20mm U.S. fighter. makes you think the -4 should be lowered to even out usage lol The -4 really is a beast of navy plane but i see it as often as a p39D (rarely). side note: i do not think i have ever seen a c202, and its a plane i have never killed :/

[glzsqd]

The Quad-20mm hizooka gun-package is, in my opinion, the best gun-package in game.

[Devil 505]

As if there's actually room for debate here.

[darkzking]

wrong the 2x37mm cannons the IL2 is packing is the best gun package in game

[bangsbox]

nope me410 2x mk101 30mm is hands down best in all categories
