In a word...Yes. I also took the time to ask HT (before and after it was done) about perking the Chog. Bottomline, it was HT's opinion that the numbers showed that the Chog was turning AH into a 1 trick pony. This wasn't what he wanted. Frankly, I've seen a lot more whines about La7's over the years than I have Chogs. Of course, the extra weight added to the Chog has meant that it is now a good plane with great guns...instead of a great plane with great guns. Odds are, if it were unperked it would not be as popular as it was before.

Oh...btw....:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

There yah go Aztec :D

Yup, everyone who thinks that the La7, N1k, Spit9 or P51D is getting the same percentage of kills as the Chog did in it pre-perked days, go look at Mini D's total use %age chart.  The Chog got 18% of the total kills in it's prime.  The current plane set doesn't have any one plane that is even close to that, so there is no doubt that none of them will be perked anytime soon...

As DMF pointed out in the stats/usage thread, the total number of kills for ALL fighters will trend upwards as more and more people play AH.  It's the percentage use that is important to the perk debate...

All the experts who abhore the uber rides can then stroke their egos by defeating 262s in Hurricane Is, thus proving once and for all that they are AH gods, for what thats worth.



ROFLMAO, I stand not corrected.

I have not had any personal discussions with HT regarding the perking of the C-Hog Nobaddy so can only assume your more well informed than I.

Hey, Great! Does that mean I'll be able to strut around with a manly side arm? I want a pair of revolvers with pearl handles, maybe with a star in the middle. And anyone not playing my way will be... erm, slapped. ;)

Well, one could always argue that the Spit9 got 40% usage in it's prime... :D

Hmm...what was the Patton quote? Something about "only a New Orleans pimp would carry pearl handled pistols". :D

this game is all about skill. I still don't understand some people's fixation with perking planes. the phrase "other people don't fly what I want them to fly" rings true. Perk fewer, not more planes.

If no plane was perked, I'd fly the 262, or the tempest if the former was the only exception, all the time, under any circonstance. I'd always be 100+mph over anyone around, and always have the upper hand in firepower with just a single burst.
There would be no competition, as I could kill anything, anytime, anyway, with only a bit of concentration. Props are obsolete.

more seriously, if the 152 was not priced, I'd fly it over anything else.

I personally dont care either way, but if anything needed a small perk, the FW 190D and the 109 G-10 would certainly rank up there.  They are extremely fast prop AC and climb like a squirrel on crack-cocaine.  Speed dictates the fight.

I always thought the F4U-1C was perked because of its 2x 1,000 pound bomb capability, 8x rocket capability, and 4xHispano capability.  That's a lot of ground attack potential.  Plus it could be launched from anywhere - land or sea.
