Bad F4U-1C pilots would find another ride which maximizes their dweeb-factor.

Spot on.

Honestly?

I think the best thing to do at times is to disable this BBS and the radio in the game. That is the only way this silly whining will ever stop.

Removing any plane from any list is bad, period.

Everyone knows what any plane/vehicle can and can't do in the game. Use that knowledge to kill and survive. It is that simple, really. I get tired of seeing the same thing in the air, too, but I change things by flying what I want to see, and doing well. If I can prove that someone can have a good run on, say, a C202 then perhaps others may give it a try. That of course is assuming I care what other people fly- and I don't.  

We derive from the game what we put into it; if all we do is constantly bicker about the minutae we will never enjoy the big picture.

i dont think removing planes is necessary.just make chog a perk plane as there were only 200 built.
i think any aircraft that had less than say 400 produced should be perked.that is if perk system works well.ive never flown in any other online sim and i learned the ropes on AH so my frame of reference is AH only.
I think we should devote 1 night to testing planes to show us all they match the data in books.If they match then i'll stop gripeing.
I can find no mention of f4's being better turners than spits /nikis/etc but have been caught by them in very slow turning fights and similar situations to yeager(see his post).of course i dont know enough about them to be sure but if HTC posted data and FM matched it i'd say nothing more.
all this guesswork is bad for business for HTC and id imagine if it was my company id be mad about it.so post your data do the tests and PROVE stuff  
i dont fly F4c for one reason only.......
ITS EASY TO KILL IN IT!
its much more fun peppering targets and seeing bits fly off then losing advantage and getting hit etc and with f4c all i ever seem to see is a ping or two and they explode or tail / wings come off and fights over  
just shoot a b17 in F4c and they pop like balloons!
FUN is what i want and getting shot from 1.2
is not fun.I have fought duels with citabria in 202's and it was fantastic, bullets pinging all around, flaps/elevators flying off, and you still fight on. because guns are not effective over 300 you dont bother shooting and it becomes a real ACM fight.

A view from a P38-L addict

I'm looking at my stats now

F4U-C vs P38L 18-22
i getting to know them in this version yesterday i got two hogs high i easily defended against their attacks to bad my guns have not much effect on them sbut i can't say they r problem coz i shot still 4 more   i will not whine  anymore at them ok

N1K2 my biggest fear 10-14 also 4 more kill
for this plane i need energy and altitude 20K otherwise an engagement is deathly this planes FM might not be total right. but it's an challenge if not too many flying around and that is a problem with it.

Now planes we don't complain about but doing much better against my plane

P51 12-8 guess this plane is flown by good pilots who are addicted to his plane.
mustang pilots

spit IXC 11-8 what can i say it's as lethal as a niki but more predictable also flown by many <S> spit pilots

Fw190A8 5-3 don't see em much but flown also by good pilots <S> luftwabbles

Bf109g6 3-1 also not seen much and flown by addictly good pilots <S> to them too

Fairly going Fw190-A5 8-9

109-G2 1-2 guess it's a scenario plane

Now the big losers  

Yak ?? 4-11 don't know why it can be very hardish at the deck

me109G10 9-18 guess it's flown by speeddweeps

And the biggest loser is the Zero 1-9
it's easy too outrun it and come back offcourse  

offcourse these are not all fair engagements but says something about the numbers off planes flown here.

Some planes fly easier as other and offcourse ther will always be people going for the easyride but they will pay the price in the end coz u learn more from a plane that is undermodelled against other planes.

It's the pilot that kills a plane but it's the plane that makes the pilot don't forget that.

I don't think any plane should be removed, it sets the wrong precendent.  Lets just deal with the dang thing (whatever your particular dang thing is).

Karnak has 4 kills and has been killed 2 times against the F4U-1C.

And I'm not even very good.  It should be 4 to 1, one of those deaths was a "Gila Monster" death.  I blew its tail off, rolled and began to pull away, his rear dropped, he spun around on a verticle axis and ended up flying backwards with me in his sights, so he blew my wings off.  We both got credit for the our kill.

The Hispano cannons may not be at fault.  It may be the tank armour.

Read this thread:

How AH tank armour works.

It seems certain parts of tanks are immune and others are overly vulnerable.
