well.. mainly cause i fly the Dhog. It really cuts down on the amount of people willing to HO my Dhog if they automatically assume it is a C. I believe that this is the perfect example of poetic justice. Also...
luftwiners hate em. EVERYONE who has been around flight sims for any length of time knows THAT.... Anything that the luftwhiners like is either badly modeled or just plain bad for the sim. Conversely.... anything the luftwhiners hate is usually modeled properly and/or is very good for gameply. And... anyone who doesn't enjoy the wails is just plain brain ded.
So.... whether you simply like DHogs or are perceptive enough to know the luftwhiner formula.... the Chog is a marvelous thing and good for all of us.
Never has such a mediocre plane done so much for the enjoyment of so many in any flight sim.

Looking over his stats this tour, it would seem that lazs has flown three aircraft: F4U-1D, La7 and P-51B.

Lazs, are you talking D-Hog is a mediocre plane??? I've flown two times that bird and it is as awesome as C-Hog, except for the guns.
-
I spent most of the night getting my butt kicked in slow planes. Then I took a F4u-1D just for a change, had a quick 5-kill mission, then logged in disgust.
(In the MA) the Hog is such a dweeb ride. :P

I have to admit they have worn me down. Chog and nik are not the planes I keep an eye out for. But, there must be something that is causing all this whining. 1v1 any plane is dead meat in CT. But I can see a situation where a gang bang by chogs in CT might be the problem. The solution, I would think, would be to disable CT in these 2 planes. Or just get rid of them.

Yup we luftwhiners fly our non-perked uberrides and still cant cut whining. What went wrong with us? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Perk the whole LW, then you dont have to see us at all. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Nothing wrong about f4u1-c, i just would have wanted to see some other planes too in my trial.
Latz whats your problem?

yep.. the hog is a mediocre plane just look at the flight model and compare. If you fly it for any length of time u will see. I will say this... everytime i fly a new plane it seems like the best plane in the game for a few days but then i quit being so cautious and it's warts start showing.
A spit pilot will be shocked at the speed on the deck of the Hog and the fantastic roll... not to mention the ammo load.\ but... as he gets used to the plane and gets into situations where he has to climb, accelerate or turn.... he will be wishing he was back in his good ol spit. familiarity breeds contempt. I think change is good. truth is.. the d hog can't even manage a 1/1 K/D ratio. The Chog comes in about what? 4-6th? First sortie in a lag was a 4 or 5 kill and never could do it again. Same for 51B which I thot was a superplane after the Hog.

Must of been one of the other umpteen 1C's around us last night I guess?
I must be seeing things, I swore I saw telephone poles sticking out of the leading edge of your wings (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
-
The Hog is a nice attack plane. Probably the best we have. I use it a lot for attacking bases, but I wont do much dogfighting with the Hog. Acceleration and climb prevents it. At least when I meet experienced pilots.
-
Watching the stab off of a F4U or N1K is about the most beautiful sight in AH. First you see the left horizontal stab fall off, then the right, then the whole back half of the plane. Ooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh yeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssss s.

Careful here, I think lazs is violating some kinda rule of late, posting what he likes. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
I like the Spit9. Its not the fastest, some planes turn better, it doesnt have the most ammo or best guns. But it does have one really cool camo paint job. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Any pilot that thinks the Hog is hard to fly and survive in, get kill in, no mather C or D modell, really should learn some ACM.
First time I took the D hog up I had a 7 kill sortie, me and my friends were outnumbered and low. The Hog can turn on a dime compared to a 190, it's faster then the 190 A8, turns better, climbs better and the guns are just as good.
The Hog is WAY more then just a mediocer Plane.
Fortunatly, mostly newbies fy them and they don't know anything about flying, they still rack up a good ammount of kills, just like the newbies in the Nikis.

yeah wilbus... must be some kinda fluke that it can't even manage a 1/1 K/D ratio eh? Sheesh... a LW weenie saying the hog is easy to fly when they got so many one trick ponie ac and the D9 to boot..LOL.
think most of the wife beating lw sissies get "boring" mixed up with "difficult to master" when they are talking about their rides.

lazs, HogC and D are way superior to any 190 variant, D9 included.
Advantages of D9: substained climb and top speed at level flight. But bleeds E much faster than any Hog.
-
mandoble... yeah the only advantages that the 190 has over the DHog is climb, speed, acceleration and roll with cannon thrown in for good measure. With good acceleration, not retaining e can be an advantage.

Last I checked, neither F4U could climb with any of the 190s. -1D is a dog, -1C is a dog with big guns. A-8 or F-8 might have trouble with them but D-9 or A-5 will spit them up and chew them out if the 190 pilot knows his business.

Correct!

which just goes ta show that... most guys whining about hogs don't have the faintest idea about their flight model and what they can and can't do.

Last night i saw a very humorous thing that definately made me want to fly the Hog-D. Someone was squeaking about being shot down and started whining about chogs and called someone a dweeb for flying it, when the other person simply said "d model"
complete silence...
