I had my best night ever in the F4U4... no specifics but it was epic. Truly epic... not the overly used version of epic. 
that is you..you are not average...
we are talking average player here in terms of "easy to use"
I will go so far as to say the term "easymode" can only used for Vets....someone who comes to AH with no prior knowledge or flight sim experience....NO plane is easy mode even the spits....
once you have been fighting.... I mean actually fighting..... not make a living ganging and vulching....once you have been doing that for a good 2 years most planes are easy mode....once you have been doing it for a few years to 10 they all are....
and that's why it does not matter what you or Junky can do in the F4U...and the fact that you guys can make it lethal in no way shape or form makes that plane in the hands of someone inexperienced lethal.
the average player is better then the noob....but stands NO chance against the fighting Vet in any plane match-up (unless its an extreme difference)
