F4U1c`s *RUIN* the ground war!

[easymo]

Cave, you have unusal eyesite. I canceled easymo awile back.

 HT put a hit counter in my game so that I could test the guns. He forgot to turn it back off. It did,nt show hits until after I saw hit sprites. So it did not give me any advantage. But just to avoid  even the apperance of an edge, I changed the account.

Current stats:

The Spitfire Mk IX has 42 kills and has been killed 62 times against the Panzer IV.

The Typhoon IB has 25 kills and has been killed 36 times against the Panzer IV

The P-51D has 5 kills and has been killed 47 times against the Panzer IV.

The C.205 has 1 kill and has been killed 14 times against the Panzer IV.

The La-5FN has 1 kill and has been killed 14 times against the Panzer IV.

The N1K2 has 10 kills and has been killed 44 times against the Panzer IV.

The Fw 190A-8 has 48 kills and has been killed 44 times against the Panzer IV.

The F4U-1C has 219 kills and has been killed 121 times against the Panzer IV.

I thought of another way to impliment my idea.  Have a counter for each account.  In each tour, any give pilot can only fly missions using an aircraft so many times.  Say, about 1 mission for every 10 or 20 aircraft that were built.  Thus, a pilot could fly 400-800 missions using a B-17G, or 23-45 missions using a F4U-1C.  This would force players use older airframes in order to save the few missions they get in High End aircraft for the tough fights.

This last week I made a large number of attacks against panzers in an N1K2...

Well, I was doing so with 190 2x20+2x30. I emptied the entire ammo over the same tank, no effect (about ten passes). Then a F4U1-C came in scene and kill the tank I was shooting at with only one pass. I supposed that tank was heavily damaged and the kill was given to me. But there was another enemy tank and the F4U-1C attacked it also, two passes, tank out. I dont know whether hispanos are correctly modelled or not, but, obviously, F4U-1C is a big problem in the game balance.
The last weekend we played lybia scenario. We were driving M16 and panzers when we got jumped by spits V, our column was "erased" by the Spit guns (hispanos also). I cant recall the SpitV being a good tank killer in WWII...

Historical Area  would solve the issue.  No F4-Cs in the ETO.

The cannons on the uber "C" is my number 1 complaint. I'll bet you they find "something" that was causing the cannons to be more effective than they should be.  Either that, or they'll find something in the 190 that brings their lethality up.

A spitfire has a better chance of killing tanks with 2-20mm, than the 190 does with 4-20mm.  Even though the 20mm's are different, something just seems not right about those metrics.

BTW, FUNKED, I have a 10 to 1 K/D ratio in the Hog now, without even really trying....hehe.

Since when is AH a "flight sim"?

The words "Flight Sim" are not to be found on that page.  There is even a picture of a tank!  Can't wait for ships!
