Most of the K/D difference is due to the fact that the CHog is used most often for vulching from cv's. It's what the DHoggers fly when they have a safe field to vulch at

. And as for the Ta152.. that thing is porked beyond belief.

Humble, Torque was good at gunnery ill admit that..

My problem with him was dumping into him with no effect... I had about 8 films of me dumping into him only to watch him keep flying along....

Chalk this up to lag, cheat, whatever that guy's f4 was near indestructable in one pass... You had to dump into him and then dump into him again...and again.... then a part may fall off his plane and he never just exploded... He always lost a part of aircraft and augered... yeah skill all the way..... not..

No other player in this game have I experienced such consistant BS and that goes all the way back to beta...

Make your own deductions..

BTW where is Torque now...

Would love to get him in a nice controlled enviroment. and slaughter him in the dueling arena... and again and again...

Although the F4U-1C can carry 2x1000 bombs, I'll often choose the F4U-1D instead, if I'm doing jabo work. Two reasons for that: 1, jabo is risky - there's a good chance of dying one way or another, so the 1D keeps the PP expenditure down. 2, the 1D can carry 8 rockets as against 4 for the 1C - useful for killing X2Lee in his PT boat.

Though it has to be said, X2Lee is one of the better PT boat drivers.

I do a lot of jabo, so often fly F4U or P47 as attack planes. But you can imagine my surprise when I checked my stats one time. I've added Lazs's comments - LOL!

Most folks...myself included...had a tough time with him. I've never been bashful about #$%%^$ someone out on channel 1 if I really think there's a problem. I can't ever recall any real issues with him...cept he was better than I am. I always wondered about his gunnery...from the victims end he was easily 5 to 10 times better than anyone else I ever faced...he seemed to never miss. I've never heard of an "aimbot" in here so I've always chauked it up to skill.

As for where he is...many of the "old hands" don't fly anymore (myself included...although coming back in a few weeks). Reasons probably vary...for me the game was at it's best in 1.03...everything else except the planeset has been downhill...but its still the best thing going for FS online. Anyway, just trying to point out for the newer players that the whole "perk" system started with the C-hog...and the C-hog "issue" started with Torque. Alot of other folks flew it but he created the "image" of the killer c-hog.
