"Has any thing become particularly more survivable with the decrease in chogs?"

Me.

Tjay,
I also notice that F4U-1Cs have become more survivable.

The general trend of less usage could also be because AH v1.06 is getting stale. Its not like it isn't something we've never seen before. It happens with every version after a couple of months.

Less kills does not automatically mean less people flying or less flying time. It may indicate that e.g. Chog pilots are now more careful in their approaches... instead of instant HOs they take more time to attack their targets. I hope this would be the case, but seriously I doubt it. For many pilots their own virtual lives are worth nothing.

In any case sortie amounts and flight time would be the correct indicators for judging wether there are less pilots and less flying time compared to last tour.

Here is a simple truth; If I outgun you and I am in a less maneuverable a/c than you, I will take any shot you give me. If that is a front-aspect or even HO, I will take it. Perk or no perk that is how it is if you are in a furball situation and you have to fight your way out. Had a guy upset with me because I turned into him and gave his Zero the business end of my 190A5 big gun loadout- we were on the deck, I was slow and facing both him and a Lightning. No way to run, no way to outturn them (one more turn and they both had me). Best thing to do was to thin the odds some. He went on for 10 minutes about how dweeby I was. All I could say to him was, "in the same situation I would do the same thing again"- and I would.

8 perk points on the C-Hawg isn't worth crying about for the mediocre pilot, and I think that has little to do with why people aren't flying it, or even the way they fly it.
