Time to make waves :-)
Lets see the Anti-Chog regime has been awfully quiet lately, lets compare my favourite ride:
Typhoon IB 2739 Kills 2263 Deaths 1.2098 Ratio
Chog 15057 kills 10948 deaths 1.3752
Typhoon IB has 271 Kills of F4U-1C
F4U-1C has 252 Kills of Typhoon IB
So does this mean that although the Chog is one of the most popular it is by no means the most deadly?

Now imagine if AH was based on a 1942/43 planeset instead of 1944/45... the Typhoon would rule supreme! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

But it does rule supreme!

Tiffie doesnt have ammo to spray nor fuel to roam.
That is its balance. I see a tiffie I know he will ACM me or HO me if he can, but he wont do a 9g turn knowing that he can spray and kill me at d800+ with one ping.

As of tonight:

4 planes actually have better than a 1:1 k/d vs the CHOG this tour.

I've always considered spraying to be linked to certain types of people, not certain types of planes. I've seen folks spray in everything from Zekes to Yaks to Hogs to 38s.
That said, don't underestimate the turning prowess of the Typhoon. Many folks are caught by surprise at just how well it'll make the initial turn or two.

Silly observation vulcan. If the top 4 guys in typhoons where flying chogs. Their numbers would be higher and the typhoons would be nonexistant.
250 kills. poof.
-
err... Do you people know how to read a chart? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
The higher the number, the WORSE the plane did against the F4U-1C. That's the Hog's K/D ratio against that plane, not vice-versa. Only a few planes like the 109G-2, 190A-5, Yak, and Typhoon have a greater than 1:1 K/D ratio against the cannon Hog.
If you already knew this, carry on. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

LOL! Silly observation... that's a good one. I wonder what would happen if he top 4 F4u-1C pilots started flying Typhoons? Oh.. wiat.. that only works one way?

Yup, those chog drivers see a 109 and think g10 I can turn fight him, hey!! what happened? g2 (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

You must be joking DMF! I have racked a 5 kill sortie in Gooney Bird using the dreaded funny-face-while-being-a-drone weapon trick. They just get blinded by their own tears and just auger.
If I can find the RW channel, I can exploit the well documented Who-do-I-boot-MAW weapon, and any C-Hog driver is dead meat fer sure. Again blinded by their own tears.
Cheers,
Pepe.

No it works both ways. Their stats would go down. The Typhoons would probably go down. I would wager the top Typhoon pilots are keeping the stats for that plane higher than someone like nash is likly to improve on.
When I meet a Typhoon in the MA I am ususally sure that it means trouble. The avarage quality of Typhoon pilots is better then HogC pilots. More than enough so that the score looks like the Typhoon is as good as the Hog C. But its not really. Better pilots.

Pretty Good Kill ratio against Chutes! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
