I've been killing and getting killed by more and more lately. Could this be the new 'Spit 16' ??
Anyone else seeing more and more N1ks?

i hate HO in nikis :noid

They were all the rage a few years ago. Maybe the Spixteen/LaLa crowd took a vote and decided to move on. :lol
-
I flew last night didn't see a single one.....just my 2 cents
Helm ...out
-
Yes, its just as popular as the Spixteen and probably more popular than the LA7. The only thing that really frustrates me with it, is that its a tough bird... there's been countless times I've hit a Niki with what in my mind was more than enough to take a wing off of anything else, to see it fly on.
-
The Ki is much tougher and does not catch on fire to easily. I had about 30 holes in me and was able to land 7 kills in this run. I'm sure it could not have taken much more but whoa, what a run that was.

I'll let Lusche pull up all the in depth stats. But the Niki is the 3rd most popular plane now by a good margin. The La7 is way down to about 12,000 last I looked, the Niki is over 26,000 so far this camp. Only the Spits and the P51 are more popular than the Niki at 60,000 and 29,000 respectively.
-
You see alot ofgoodsticks flying N1ks, this is probably because of the awesome firepower it has and how many kills you can get in it if you fly it right :aok
-
Niki's are easy to down in the Ki-61.
-
I've never had much trouble with NIKI's, unless they get a snapshot on me.
-
i like to take advantage of there terrible turning by grabing zekes after SOMEONE (Allison)killed my a-20 but she went away then i tried to 110 and well....

They won't fly the Ki84 because it doesn't have the uber 900 rounds of potato guns!
-
Honestly, I keep asking myself where all the LALA's have gone. All I've seen over the last 3-4 months is Spit16's and Niki's. No one likes a challenge anymore I guess.
I'm in favor of having the Spit16's and Niki's renamed "Easy Mode."

I would have never thought I would read such a posting on this BBS after years of "All you can see is La-7's, people can't stand a challenge and want to fly easy mode only" :)

i enjoy flying the Niki....is a wonderful base defense plane

Granted this is my perception and all. I miss seeing LA's, they're such an easy kill when they're not runnin'.

Combining all Spits into one category is disingenuous to say the least.

A lot of good sticks? Who?
Nik2 one of the most popular birds right now because 90% of the guys that fly it only point and shoot. Meaning it has so many cannons they don't have to learn ACM but only spray and pray or try to HO everything in sight. Dodge the first two HO's with pretty much 90% of the Nik2 pilots and they have no clue what to do next if one of their buddies doesn't come to the rescue.
-

I was actually thinking of doing a tour in the LA5 now that it only gets about 1,400 kills a tour on average. That plane is so under used now a single good stick could likely turn the stats upside down. :D
-

Well, I wasn't really trying to capture the subtype by type breakdown, I was hoping Lusche would do that. The point was to establish that the Spit in general has twice the representation in the MA as the Niki. I would do the same thing for any aircraft that has several subtley differentiated subtypes like the 109s, 190s and the un-perked F4U's. The difference between the subtypes is minimal when compared to the difference between any completely different plane. To subdivide them all up is equally, if not more misleading when dicussing overall, general representation.

Now THATS the funniest thing I've heard in a long time!!
Thanks for the laugh,

OOOps forgot about the Niki---I love using it when defending against Cv attacks.
And I really haven't noticed alot more Nikis lately, but that could be for all the P-51s in the way blocking my view.
-

The potatoe guns pretty much stink though. I can give the same burst from a P-51 and still take someones wing off.

Ive been running into some really good sticks in Nikis and 109s lately. Must be my luck.

N1k is easy meat! asside from maybe 20 good niki pilots out there! please fly more of them !! I despise them so. I will go out of my way to twist one into knots! :rock
-
For me N1K1s are the closest thing to AW relaxed realism as you can get.
-
Did I forget to mention that real N1K2-Js had automatic extending flaps? In r/l they adjust depending on angle-of-attack.
Then it's no wonder N1K is the most stable and maneuverable in late-war class.

I'll out turn Niki's all day long in an La7.
-
Yes seem to be seeing more Nikis lately and probably for good reason. 4 cannons,tons of ammo & long fuel range. Always been one the easiest rides in the game to get kills in. Graphics update and they will be even more common.

:lol

I fly the Niki alot now adays. The reason is this.... I've been down the "uber ride" road. Myself and others flew rides that had quite a few issues way back and had a hardcore hate for Nik's,spits and la7's. Why..well the Niki sometime back (2000 or 2001, cant rem) was a UFO. I flew the 38,47 and f6 abit. Then the 109F alot. None of these where much loved beyond us die hards back then.
I thought it made me better.... all it did was drive me nuts.
Now after quiting and returning over and over for various reasons I'm flying what suits my style ie the Niki for now. Why?Its stable, turns pretty well, lots of ammo as I cant shoot and isnt any more "uber" than many other rides seen in the MA. I will admit the use of the HO w/it is abit annoying but typicaly if a good stick avoid that then the Ho Ho is toast.
I'll keep upping it when I feel like it, and prob get shot down over and over but its cool. Pac Man, AH, AH2..... they're just games designed for entertainment and thats what entertains me at this juncture in my AH2 life.
-
I just can't get past the niki's rate of fire on the cannon... seems planes fly thru the stream between bursts.
-
Yea, I've had the same happen quite often but when they hit.... they hit.
-
I think the last time I took a n1k2 up I landed 10 kills in it (8 of them bombers). I have the screenshot somewhere.
It's not a popular plane with the newbies "now" -- it has always been this way. Historically it has held the #3 slot behind la7s, and spitfires for a long, long, long time. That is, up until the arena split when the dynamics changed and the new spits came out and all that jazz. After that I can't verify how much it gets used (spixteens are so much more capable, you know?) but it's enough.
-
Yes, the Niki is too good to pass on. Two bombs & a DT plus those fourx20mm w/plenty 'o rounds; speed; turnability (when not at speed); a good all-around plane. If only it had the Hisookas instead of the knock-off Okerloins(sp?) :pray
-
OK, then let me ask this. How do you get an LA-7 to turn inside a Niki when a good Niki stick starts loop ropeing? Because thats where Im having trouble at. And there are some really good Niki sticks. They were at TT Island yesterday in blue. And at equal states starting off by the 4'th or 5'th loop Im starting to have trouble.
-
teh nikj has been used extensively since ive been playing. im going on two years.

you know i still find it funny people would laugh at other people for the AC that they fly. I LOVE to fly all AC. I LOVE flying. instead of calling some noob an idiot for flying the spit16 just remember FX flys those same spits and yall prase him for it. (no pun intended FX <S>) let people fly what they want and stop giving them watermelon over it.

Now why are you being such a tease? I'd love to see this plane implemented.
-

I think the guns fire two by two. Try firing one round from your primary gun. If you do it correctly, when you use the fire all trigger, the four guns will be out of sync. You end up with a steadier stream, and less room for the dastardly cons to fly through.
At least the sound makes it seem to be the case -- I assume the rounds follow the sound. (Then again, I don't think the default sound for the 37mm on the P-39 is in sync with the actual rate of fire, so I could be all wet.)

I wasn't laughin, just seems those idiots who lose the HO or 1 v 1 fight and complain to you are now in the N1k.... Everyone calls the P-39 a waste, and I love the dang thing.

id rather see spit16 or a nik than a lala cause chances are they wont be able to run away.
-
You may be on to something here. I looked at my kill stats and the most planes I have shot down are the N1k1, followed by the La7, and our beloved p51.
-
I've never had much trouble with NIKI's, unless they get a snapshot on me.
Yeah, me too. I don;t have any problems with ANY plane, unless they get guns on me :lol
-
The LA-7 is still supreme based on what I've seen lately.
