it doesn't need to be perked.
-
Drop it to 20 perks.
dago
-
Unperk it, please.
-
drop the perks and lower the OBJ of that like the Chog. if it were unperked you wouldnt see any other corrsair. just like the spit 14. unperk that and there will be no other reason to fly the "lower-end" models.
-
Lol...Perk Fester!
-
Based on my own personal experience, if the Chog needs to be perked, the F4U-4 needs to be perked...maybe not so expensive, but I find it much more pilot-friendly than the Chog.

Weak guns(compared to the Chog)...just like your arguement. ;)

Yeah yeah, Rip "I like to fly F4Us" Snort, that's why I prefaced it with "based on my experience". No technical data, just an opinion, and frankly, I'm not sure I think either should be perked, but I'd perk the -4 before the -1C.

This has to be some sort of troll. People whine that the P-51D needs perking, and the F4U-4 is a better plane in every aspect at all altitudes by a large margin. Unlike the LA7 the F4U-4 doesn't suck above 10K.
Perhaps it can stand to be a little cheaper, but un-perk it? Only if you want it to flood the arena.

98% of my sorties in April were with the F6F. ;)
-
That's because your only other option in blue is the big flying turd called the F4U-1D. Ick.
SOB
-
The F4U-4 is waaaaaay better than the chog, and you want it unperked, after all the crying to perk the chog.
I know one thing, if they unperk it, I will fly it exclusively, and hahaha, I will pwnx0r the arena.
-
15-20 points will do. 20 is enough to deny any flooding of the MA and it's much closer to what it's worth imho :)

Once the La-7 gets into high blower at 18k, it sparkles again. In fact, its best altitude (speed wise) is right around 20k. I take Lavochkins up to 25k+ for Buff intercepts. Performance is still pretty good up that high too. No, not quite up the the Mustang, but good enough to give a good account of itself.

RAISE the F4U-4 to 100 PERKS!:)
-
Unperk the F4U-4. Though its fast at high altitudes, it still is only armed with machine guns. If the eny was lowered to 7 or 8, things would balance out.
-
The F4u-4 is no different from teh TA152, climbs about as good, F4u turns a bit better with flaps out and has got better high speed handeling.
I don't agree with you Rip, can't be unperked unless the TA152 is aswell (which it probarly should be) and the Spit 14 lowered to abou 15-20 perks.
I agree with Dago, about 20 perks for it would be the right number, either that or unperk all those "fast but yet not so fast" planes such as the Spit 14, Ta152 and F4u-4.
Btw Rip, I am flying allied iron this tour, wanna do some f4u winging?
-
Both the Ta152 and Spit14 have cannons! The F4U-4 has little machine guns. This is why the F4U-4 should be unperked!
-
Ehehe, "the F4U-4 has weak guns" ... lol, you should drive regularly axis a/c then you'll find 8x0.5 simply incredible :) 600-700yds deflection shooting .... incredible :) its a new game :D
-
Actually, 6 50 cal guns rip planes apart, they VERY easy to hit with and kills beyond 500 yards are not a porblem.
Only thing that is better with cannons is quick snapshots when they pass infront of you, otherwise 6+ 50 cal guns are much better, I prefer those US 50 cals to anything.
-
50 cals are good up close, and when you get a good harmonized shot. The F4U also carries alot of ammo. However, thats all they have going for them. In the F4U, a plane which relies heavily on snapshots, cannons are truly needed. This is why the F4U-1c is so popular. It only takes a two or three 20mm rounds to bring a plane down. This is especially true for the F4U-4, the fastest Corsair. As speeds increase, aiming and firing times decrease. Yet the F4U-4 is still stuck with the ancient M2 machine guns.
-
Bah dont touch the perks, just remove the perk plane tags.
-
I don't find the MG's that bad, if ur a good aim you can kill the enemy just as fast as u could with 20mms.
I think they should leave it perked, come fly in the H2H and you'll see how annoying it is EVERYONE is in late-war planes F4U-4, Spit14(you see the most) and late war Hurricanes/Temps...
Only crazy people like me try taking an F4u-1 or SpitI/HurricaneI and other early war planes up against all the ME262s and Spit14's LOL!
One thing I find about flyin early war planes though is it really helps with your dogfightin skills :) was gettin an average of 2 kills per flight in a spit1, and early 109 (without extra cannons) after about a week of flyin those I went back to the late war planes and the first day I had an average of 7 kills per mission lol!!!
but now I stink again gonna go get back in that 109 lol
