I love the F4U-4 and would like to use it more often. I propose unperking (or reducing the perks) when taking off of a cv only. This way I'll have something to counter the LA7's. However, I am not recommending to unperk the -4 when lifting off a land based field.

Umm no, CV or land makes no difference the plane is still the same.

-1. It's too good to be unperked.

Another La-7 or a K4 works just fine.

No. The F4U-4 is the most potent piston engined fighter in the game, far better than the F4U-1C, Tempest Mk V and Spitfire Mk XIV.

Arguable, but whatever.
If you really want something to counter enemy Lala's, then just do what I did when I felt like messing around with defenders, or just really wanted to fly a 109 in a carrier fight: Ferry over a 109K, or something like that over to the CV, park, apply breaks and kill engine, and go afk for 5-10 until the mission you're planning on helping is ready.
-
It's outstanding fighter with very powerful engine and still easy turner.

The F4U-4 is not to be underestimated. It has far more capability than most give it credit for. Top speed is not the only attribute it has. It truly is probably the best fighter in the game. It is perked for a reason.
-
If you un-perk F4U-4 it would probably be used far more than the P-51D. :bolt:
-
f4u4 unperked = welcome to the UFO4u4 arena... you can already see dozens of them in one place when the jokers are vulching... lol!
the K4 works fine enough against La7s, also gives you a load of perks //hint, hint :)
-
we can perk the f4u4 , if the 262 gets unperked :bolt:
-
Unperk the whole plane set. I get killed by I16 as easily as by 262's and Tiffs.
Seriously dont see point of perking. other than to give the uberiest sticks the uberiest rides, and to keep the riff raff from all upping 262's :joystick: :airplane:
-
I say give every plane a perk price :aok
-
Seriously dont see point of perking.
Keeping the main from becoming a 90% Me 262 / Tempest arena?
And if the I-16 poses the same threat to you as those ^^ two, you are in need of some serious training :P

No amount of training can offset the drag of world class suckage :cry

don't sell yourself short....with this mindset that's all it will ever be.

If any of you were around when the Chog was unperked you'd know why both it and the 4hog are perked.The way people whine about the spit16 now would be nothing compared to what we'd hear if something like unperking the 4hog happened.
Now if someone suggested a perk holiday,1 day a tour when perk planes were free then maybe I could get behind that idea,sort of like titanic tuesdays.
Ink, perking every plane would be fine for someone like you or I but then HTC would have to offer X amount of perks for both 2 weekers and new subs. I've thought of this before but just couldnt come up with a fair way to implement it.

best way would be to create an arena that had AI missions.......go on the mission earn perks, complete the required tasks earn more.....
don't ever see it happening, but think it would be a good way to get new peeps to learn the game a bit easier.

Interesting idea,I've seen similar things in other games were you had to complete a training course in order to play online.
The other thing to consider would be the whole eny. and obj. ratings for all the planes and GV's would need to be revamped not to mention what would happen if a player ran out of perks to use.
Like I said I've thought about this before and it became a complex exersize in futility! :devil
:salute
PS: still think the perk holiday might spice things up!

Perking is not perfect but I agree with the above quote.
-1 on unperking the F4u-4

I am thinking not just for being able to play online...but anytime you need perks you can go to the AI arena and join missions....to earn them.... if not able to earn them in the MA....
it is HTC's sandbox though so it is up to him to figure out how to make the most people happy.....generally I am very happy flying and dying.....I just don't understand the whole mentality of gang after gang....... huge overkill hoards......or run away as soon as they lose advantage....how sad is it when 4 cons hit the deck and run as fast as they can from a single con

I remember when the Chog was unperked, however it was at a time when we only had 15 or so aircrafts to choose from? When it got perked and the La7 added everyone was flying it, or the n1k.

Looks like 25 fighters with the F4U-1C getting about 20% of the kills each tour.
-
Karnak think it was before the N1K came out and La7 when the Chog flew unperked, then again I hardly remember heh.
-
N1K2 was the first Japanese aircraft that added during beta, so definitely not before the N1K2. It was before the La-7, which is why I didn't list the La-7. :p
AH v1.0 list was:
B-17G
B-26B
Bf109F-4
Bf109G-2
Bf109G-6
Bf109G-10
C.205

Fw190A-8
La-5FN
N1K2-J
P-51D
Spitfire Mk IX

First steps in introducing the perk system were taken in Tour 14 (March 2001), F4UC was perked in Tour 16. N1K had been in game before that, the La-7 was introduced in Tour 14.
This is the complete planeset of tour 15, just before the F4UC was perked one tour later:

It's not but then planes aren't really your strong point so I can understand why you didn't know.

Translation: the La7 is unperked, why isn't the 4-hog?
Responce: when was the last time you fought an La7 (or forced him to fight you) above 7k in a F4U-1_? A cheaper/free 4-hog is necessary to accomplish this, because?

planes should not be perked,only pilots :airplane:

This is unworkable as any player can game themselves to lower stats.

That's an interesting idea.

-1 The plane is too (http://www.pixeljoint.com/files/icons/mr_t.gif). Besides it's cheap anyway.
-
The -4 is an uber monster of a beast. Unperking it would lead it to being the most seen ride in the MA.
Leave it perked, besides its only perked at 25 or so. Very easy to get if you stay out of the low eny rides.
-

maybe it would cure some of the "score potatos" and even lead to less timid playstyle
perhaps grade the score into the perk cost,not a replacement but just part of it.
-
I agree that the LA7 is a bit imba. . .it is incredibly powerful. But the U4 is a lot stronger. I agree that it is the hands down best prop fighter in the game although the tempest is perked for a good reason, but the tempest cannot knife fight like the U4 can. . . and yes, the spit 14 does not need to be perked.
So this must be a perk LA7 thread in disguise?
see what I did there? :joystick:
-
If they were free, they woudn't be special :lol They feel like cheating to a good hog pilot anyway.

Not really a problem, plenty of unperked CV a/c that can counter an LA7,Spit,Hurricane or pretty much anything else.

You will now address him as Mr.Head. Calling him by his first name is also allowed but it might be mistaken for a personal attack. :aok

The F4U4 is so uber I only use it for NOE pursuits.
