Title: Duke, your set up?
Post by: JSparrow on December 26, 2005, 12:40:44 PM
Just wanted to ask one more time, if I may.

All weekend the AJ have had the A6Ma5, Ki-84, the N1K2-J and two fully operational CVs.

The allies have the F4U-1 and the F6F and no operational CVs

Why?

Both sides should have 2 CVs. Allied side keeps losing thiers for some reason. I'll go check it out.

 F6F-5 and the F4U-1 are a potent combo vs the Japanese rides, you just have to really use your head against the N1Ks and Ki. The Ki-84 is the best fighter in the set.

Seems okay in the Corsair if your working as a team.  Still all it takes is one screwup and the Ki-84s eat your lunch. I've actually learned a little bit on how to fly the F4U thanks to Batfink who let me live long enough, and gave me a few pointers on the F4U while he was buzzing around me in a KI-84.

If you check the plane vs plane kill stats their way in favor of the Japanese rides.

 I've died more this week then I care to mention. The runway collisions are almost as deadly as the Ki-84s and N1K2s   :aok

agree with the collisions, as for the F4U-1 vs the Ki-84 , I think it is more pilot than actual plane strength,  ki84 is got some good turning ability when slow enough to use flaps, can climb great, and has hispanos, vs the HOG is just BLUE......:D

them runway collisions are a crock!!!! say you tell your wingy I am upping, you click on it to roll, he waits, then clicks he actually loads faster than you and you are just starting to move when he pops up, or vice versa, or you take off 1 end of RW he the other, well someone else comes along and ups on top of you or your wingy.......everybody's Computer / net speed are all different and even if you chose to up with time in between someone else might hope in the game and jump right to take off not thinking about anyone else!

still, there is no problems with F6f-5 or  F4U-1s fighting zekes, or nikis or ki-84s!!! and you can even fight in close with them not BnZ type stuff.....

only when 4 & 5 to 1 or to 2 ganging happens then it gets a lil fun ( read harder to deal with )

had some great fights & fun in the few days I got to play this setup!!! ~S~ everyone and Happy New Year!!!

BAN THE FRIENDLY COLLISIONS ON............!!!

I played in the arena about three hours last night.  the whole time in a corsair or a TBM and never got above 3k in altitude.  I got shot down lots but always when I was being either picked or double or triple teamed.  the F4U-1 does just fine against the N1K2 or the Ki84 and will even pull sufficient lead for a killing burst on a zeke in an angles fight provided you don't flat turn with it.

:huh

Ki-84 has Ho-5s, which have a much higher RoF, lower muzzle velocity and much lower damage per hit than do the Hispanos.

Why'd you think it has Hispanos?

hmmm I too was under the impression that the Ho-5 was a japanese knock off of the Hisso type 2.  where are we wrong here?
