Wow... A Niki whine.

How very nostalgic.

...and completely unnecessary. I would put the fear factor about on par with a Spit V- dangerous if you disrespect it, completely manageable otherwise.

Kieran, thats if you in a 190 or a 109g10 or p51 or la7...aka, planes in which you can RRRUUUNN from it.

Face it in anything else, the n1k will eat you alive if you're not extremely careful (or if the n1k's pilot is new to the game). The n1k's ability to turn, dive & accelerate plus 4 cannons puts it a notch higher than the spitIX in the threat list. It also retains good maneouverability at speeds over 350 (beating the spit from my experience).

Comparing it to a spitV is insulting to the spitV. Its more like a spitIX with the accel of a 205 on wep and the e-retention of an la7.

Unfortunately, I'd have to disagree. Past history has shown success in whining enough to get a dweeb ride de jour perked. Now that that precident has been established, the whiners know its only a matter of turning up the volume and duration sufficient to exceed HTC's pain threshhold.
Its been done before. Sooner or later it will be done agian.

Huh, I seem to have been able to fight Nikki's from an F6F before the flight model was revisited on both planes. I'm sorry, I didn't see it then, and I definitely don't see it now.

the n1k2j was histroically a hellkitty killer. it was a good aircraft one of the best (when it worked and wasn't blown up on the ground). the bigest problem the n1k2j had was torque it had the same effect on new ensighns as did the f4u for the US.

and About the perk system. with all the whining to get things perked (now that whining works) eventually we will all end up in jugs any way. personally I don't think the perk point system should be in the MA only in special arena's. The MA should be open with all the planes allowed and unperked except the jets wich should be resigned to Special arena's.
