Ya know the scariest part about this statement is that some of you actually believe it.

I read a post this morning in the Training forum by a new guy who was asking some questions about different planes and stuff.  The thing that stuck out about his questions were he wanted to know which was the best plane he could use to help him survive in the Main Arena.  He said that while he liked certain aircraft, they werent the most viable option if he wanted to stay alive and do well in the MA.  I dont blame him one bit.  Its all well and good to say "I fly a plane that is not used much and I am superior because of it" if you want to delude yourself in that way, but the truth is most of the new guys that are showing up here just want to have fun and be able to shoot something down while they are learning.  

I would be willing to wager that the majority of newbies who fly the F4U-1C when they first get here dont continue to fly it forever.  Eventually most of them will migrate to something that suits their style a little better once they know how to control the planes better.  

While I can appreciate Pyro perking the F4U-1C, I dont think it solves anything.  According to the stats that everyone keeps touting on what makes a plane perkable, the N1K2-J is next.  

It will be the next "newbie" plane....at least until the whining reaches an unacceptable decibel level, forcing HTC to perk it.

Only 7 perkies    

Now let the whines begin about the low Chog cost    

HTC, it should only cost 1 perky just to get under the skin of the whiners    

<whine mode on>Ban the N1k2!!!!  Now, let's put this big spoon in the pot and stir.  Pilots in the top 300 are banned from flying fighters.  They can only fly B-17 and Lancaster this tour.   This is only fair as others have been banned from flying the Chog!!!  But, if ya wanta fly a fighter it costs 800 perkies.  Ya know it's the pilot and not the plane,right?  800 perkies should be easy to earn while flyn that fighter very carefully, right???? <whine mode off>

<Puts big spoon on shoulder and exits stage right>

Just a reminder, ALL planes are available 24/7 in the dueling arena. If theres noone in there try to scrounge up some bodies in the MA. Heck, just yell "FREE NAKED CHOG MUDWRESTLING IN THE DA, COME ON IN!!!" on channel 1 and im sure some will follow.

If you can't afford to pay 8 points for C-Hog then you shouldn't be here at all.
Now keep on whining and DjV you should read your post about "Direction" again.

Right staga.. guess you missed the point of it entirely.

So many concerned with what others are doing, flying and saying.

I'm concerned that too many are trying to dictate what others are doing, flying or saying.

Get a clue.

Time to feel superior to something else.

This is more or less on target.  Even my lowly, sorry self managed to start killing those Chogs.  At first they were chewing me up, then I tried to avoid the HO and wow, I started winning against them more!  amazing...  

Anyways, my whole reason to perk the CHog was that it's a "special" plane.  They barely saw any service in WWII, there were probably more sorties in ME262's than in the CHog (warning, this is pure speculation!  I could be wrong on that.)  Special planes should be perk rides, IMO.  I bet Pappy Boyington didn't whine about having to fly a Hog with 6 .50 calibres instead of one with 4 hispanos!!!  The Dhog is a good ride if you don't have the perkies for the Chog.  Besides, it's got the nice yellow ring around the cowling, much more colorful than the Chog!

GENTLEMEN,
THE F4U-1C WAS NOT PERKED WHEN I OPENED MY ACCOUNT. IDONT FLY IT THAT MUCH< BUT I LIKE HAVING THE OPTION. PLEASE, DON't TAKE AWAY AIRCRAFT!

Never mind. Someone told me LW AC were only able to be shot down in the MA by C_HOGS. MY mistake.

Hmm I'm going to miss shooting at them, I'm curious when there going to perk my spit or B26, I'm more afraid of 109's then F4U's or nik's and in a turn fight I worry about another spit before all the others, Seems to Me a 8pt. perk is only going to hurt the newbie and if your going to HO a Chog you probably deserve to be blown in half.

I can't comprehend how people could possibly whine about this.

1) You've got a perfectly good almost identical Corsair you can fly for free. If that Corsair is totally unsuitable, you might as well paint "I can't kill without cannons" on your forehead.

2) If the CHog was added new to the game 1.07 at its current point cost and had never been in the game at all, not a person in the world would be particularly upset.

Wrong. N1K2 doesn't even remotely come close to the CHog in usage, or kill/death ratio. And it can't be used from CVs.

N1K2 will never reach the usage level the CHog did last tour. You can take that to the bank.

I don't see anything remotely illogical about it.

Perking the CHog increases the diversity of the main arena. What part of that is so hard to understand?

"Anyone that cant accumulate 8 points dont belong here. Cancel their accounts, go back to playing online bingo?"

And whats the difference with how it was when chog was unperked? *spray* *spray* *spray* BINGO!

"I thought anyone paying 30 buck a month belonged here, and their opinion was welcomed"

They are. Look at all the responses. Feel the love  

Torgo is right though. If you CANT get kills when you have an IDENTICAL craft without single ping kill cannons then you are WASTING 20 bucks here. Fighter ACE is 10 a month and MCFS2 is FREE. So the question is.. can you ACM or not?
