Look at the stats, It shows very little use of the F4U-1C, In my oppinion its not a spectacular aircraft and we have a more manueverable cannon armed bird (N1K-2J) and by far it's easier to fly.

You're forgetting a few things that made the F4U-1C an amazing plane, Nefarious.

First, the 4 x 20mm cannons on the CHog sported superior ballistics to any others in the game -- they fired longer, straighter, and hit with more power than those of the N1K.  They also fired to a pinpoint at convergence, maximizing damage.  In addition, they snapshot visibility in the F4U is quite good.

Second, the F4U-1C may fly from normal airfields AND carriers.  Other four-cannoned aircraft -- the Typhoon, N1K, Hurricane -- cannot do this.  This made the F4U-1C extremely versatile, not to mention prolific.

Third, the F4U-1C makes a formidable Jabo platform, as it may load numerous rockets and several thousand pounds worth of bombs.  The N1K cannot do that.  Consequently the F4U-1C was one of the best fighter AND attack aircraft in the game.  In horde-like numbers, it truly unbalanced the arena.

Keep it perked.

nefari u dont have a clue what your talking about

I had no opinion at the time the chog was perked but it appears to have been a good descision.

the chog was perked because it got near 20% of the kills in ah. Not because its performance.  its eny was reduced as lo as it could be. Add to the fact there wasn't but 200 used in rl. 8 perks doesn't take anything to get.

since the chog was perked it has been good fer ah. The idea behind perking it was to limt its use and guess what it worked. It was the right thing and is the right thing.

Nothing is stopping you from earning 8 perks and flying it all you want.

OBJ value has nothing to do with it. OBJ value is for killing objects.

Everything we have perked in AH should be or else find another of limiting the use of rare and unbalancing planes.

An rps would suck so we have a perk system. No other plane unbalances the main or is rare enough to warrant perking. Not the p51 not the la7 or the spit ix or the niki.

at the time the chog was perked it was used almost 2 times as much as the spit is used now with its eny value as lo as can be.......

anyone who wants a chog can up a 205 kill 4 spits and die and have 8 perk points....................... ....

Tumor, wasn't serious about the Evidence ... I just prefer shooting down P51 than Zitfires...

Nefarious, obviously you were away/sleeping when we had the F4U-C-High period, was not fun... keep that bird perked.

Unperk the C Hog?   Ain't gonna happen my friend.  This arena is anti Corsair, just count it lucky the F4U-D isn't perked 8 pts too

Need a cannon plane?  Take the Huricane C model, 4 Hispanos, just like the C Hog, does pretty nice for gv busting.  No perk points, after all, it isn't American, it isn't Blue, and it isn't a Corsair. No point in perking it

Or take an 190 A8 if you really want firepower. Not perked either (it's LW) and a heck of a lot more punch than any C Hog.

Take a snoot full from a A8 who HOs you and you'll know what I mean. U be walking back to your hangar with your privates in a paper bag toot sweet.

tour 25 sofar

17:5 vs SpitIX
3:3 vs SpitV (aaah! perk that squeak!)
3:0 vs Seafire

spits make good lunchmeat for my 109 or P47
dont perk em

I hate Spits as much as the next guy, but what would perking them accomplish?  I hate seeing them everywhere, but I deal with it by shooting them down.  Perking them would only accomplish one thing... a flood of squeaking Spit pilots flooding the BBS and quitting AH.  Also, what does the Spit do that is worth perking?  Kill you?  Come on, learn to fight them, or fly high and ignore the spits down in the weeds.  You could also fly a Jug and HO all of them with the 8 50s.  They do a nice job of shredding that paper mache Brit plane.  

In the words of so many that have said the same thing many times before:  FLY WHAT YOU WANT, DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT THE OTHER GUY IS FLYING, JUST SHOOT HIS bellybutton DOWN IF YOU DON'T LIKE HIS PLANE.

Sorry, just gettin tired of all the squeaking about the Spit and every other damn plane in the set.

Feel free to.  I can always stick to the Jug.  Plus, I think I can afford enough F6F's to keep me happy for a long time.

mathman this is kinda a "anti-perk" the spit thread..............

some how it got all chogged up but in general everyone so far has said no to perkin a spit

[Mathman]

I know the original post was a tongue in cheek poke at the whiners who squeak about the Spit (I am slow, but not stupid )

Just in a squeaky mood tonight.  Guess listening to Socrates when I was on this morning whing because he got killed just got on my nerves.

[Wotan]

that guy would give gunman26 a run

[Mathman]

If it weren't for Soc occasionally using a big word, I would almost think they are the same person.

The CHOG was the enbodyment of "The Death Star" of the "the laser" it hath to be perked.

Spits should not be perked  and N1K2s are not perked partially because there isn't really a well rounded Japanese plane set I would think  perhaps later when it has other aircraft it could be considered but for now leave it the way it is.

Hmmmm, interesting, and why then arena was full with hogc, not with a8?

What made hogc so annoying were combination of speed, fm, 4 hispanos and endless ammo load. Fighting against 3 hogc ment you saw zillion tracers around you, because hogc pilots tended to pressed firebutton and never release it while you are not dead. And every hispano hit at least dammaged you.

That plane is a random kill generator. It is probably the only plane in AH which quite fine fits to its perk prise. Leave it perked please.
