I'm not whining because im a CHOG lover, I'm complaining because I feel it's unfair to the CHOG lover. Look at my stats. I dont fly the Corsair-s. I just feel it got a bad rap when the planeset wasnt as big as it is now.

It's a corsair.
It's not indestructible.
It's not as extraterrrestial as the N1K-2J
It might have extreme firepower but it's nothing that should be limited in the MA.

It's perked at 8, easily doable for me. But I wont waste 8 points on a plane that doesnt need it. Hell releasing the CHOG from the stables, we might see a decrease in Spit, LA7, and N1K2 number's.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

i hope they never uperk the hog-c, i love the fact that it is rare..

since there are so few of them flying around and it has the same ICON as the hog-D so many silly people head-on you expecting you to be the hog-D.. lol

such a great time watching them explode 600-700 yards infront of you :)

Ahh even better is hereing them whine about your "lazers", they will never know! :cool:
(well i guess they do now :o )


*EDIT*

i wanted to mention how well it retains energy. It could just be me but it seems to retain energy more efficant than any other F4U (maybe lesser than the -4, but damned close).

Its a deamon in the vertical scissors as well, tip for you spit dweebs dont follow one in that situation, your gonna over-shoot and those spray and prey hispanos will shred ur little paper air-plane.

but you know this is not a flight sim simulating WWII, its a giant complex death match with WWII AC.


AmOn, that should be a bit of an epiphany for most of the AH players! You are not far from Buddahood my friend :)

Man every time I see the word "Realistic" kicked around, I nearly fall off of my chair laughing :)

AH is a great game!  I freakin love it, but realistic???  I mean give me a break! :rolleyes:

AH is a great/fantastic on-line first person shooter, with a WWII aircraft theme.  The Arcadish [yeh I said arcadish, the truth shall set you free to enjoy the game my friend :)]  MA is a furballing madhouse, gang-bang and vulch or be gang-banged and vulched, flight sim with a slightly overly difficult to fly FM that is marketed as "more realistic" .  A few bombers and gvs thrown into the mix, to stir things up.  The furball moves from base to base, and occasionally between them as mostly uncoordinated base captures are initiated.  I mean a 3 way war??  Every country flies the same type of unlimited number of planes???  That makes for great game play but not realism.

So why take out your hostilities on the C Hog and the -4????  Probably a cultural thing, certainly no more based on rationality than the myth that AH is "Realistic".

Instead of perks, why not change the planeset at every reset, say, early, mid and late war planesets.  This would not add "realism", but may add to gameplay :)

Eagle ducks down into his bunker and waits for the flack!  LOL!!

Unperk the chog, i'll spank it with my 6x.50's (or my 2x20's,13mm, and 7.9mm) ;) . I do not, I repeat, do not think the F4U-1C is worthy of perkness.

Thank you for your time.

arent you complaining about all the spits you see....

there were way more chogs

what you think about its performance has nothing to do with why its perked.........

nothing at all.......................... .

I can't help the fact you can't grasp that but its a good thing its perked...... ask the guys who flew in ah when it roamed unperked

I flew in AH when it was unperked....wasnt that big of a deal.

They were easy to kill....just start em turning and eventually they will wallow like a pig in mud and stall.  Then you have 'em right where you want 'em.  

I guess if you are concerned with what others choose to fly then it could have been conceived as a problem.  It all comes down to one simple sentence...I believe it was a guy named Toad who said:

"Fly what you like, like what you fly...and dont worry about what the other guy is flying."

Shut up sling.
Go back to your cage.


As for spits: take a Zero. It will eat Spits and Niks for lunch.

why dont read the  post sling :)
I believe I stated I didn't care one bit at the time the chog was perked I killed plenty of umm.

My point to this dude is he is complaining about "all the spits and la7s" when the chog wasnt perked it got almost double the percentage of kills the spit gets now.

I do agree that perking the chog made for a more diverse main and the game better overall.

I think you really missed the point. Theres no plane i really think should be perked because i wouldn't be able to kill it. But in an arena that is filled with just 1 plane to me would be boring.

wotan.. you are missing the real benifiet to the idiotic perk system...   It makes planes that shouldn't be in the arena rare.  the rarer the better in my book.   the Chog is a real borderline plane with the lowest 'perk" cost but why would anyone fly a -1a or -1D if it wasn't perked?

No... Don't perk the spits cause it will remove some of the stigma attached to flying perk rides..  Right now, flying a perk ride labels you (and rightly so) as a cowardly amazinhunk who can't compete on an even basis and makes you a target.

Most know this and accumulate thousands of perk points never using em.   If more planes were perked lightly, low cost....  especially a popular plane like the Spit, then it would remove a lot of the much needed stigma from flying an unfair ride.

Which works until a Zeke worms its way onto the Hurri's 6. Then, the Hurri dies forthwith....;)

Maybe if you get a head-on attack and kill the first attempt.  :rolleyes:

But otherwise the zero is going to eat the hurricane up in a stall fight. IMO there is not a better stall fighter in the plane set. All the zero has to do is make the hurri blow there energy, from what ive seen the hurricane is a slug when its outta E and thats when the zero REALLY shines. :p

for what its worth it really just comes down to whos at the stick. If the hurricane fights on the zeros terms the zero will victor, and like wise if the zero fights the hurris fight.

but given equal skill my moneys on the zero fighter.

the only thing that should scare a zero driver is a 202! :cool:

No way man! When Im facing F4U the first think I do is to look for the 'yellow' nose. If I dont find one a little more carefull way of fight is needed because its possible that its the bluenosed-lazerarmed-perkcharged-uglylooking-monstrosity... So first pass is close to see if the 'victim' has 4 'fingers' sticking out from the wing just to make sure what is the thing im fighting against so I can distinguish C hog from the birdcage-hog well and then they just die... :)
