They still seemed fine to me. I havent tried anything "extreme" with them but they blow up tanks and buffs real nice. As they should as far as I know.

Those 4 Hispanos still fire rounds too close together (pre-patch 1.03, though).

Wasn't this supposed to be fixed in this version ?

Yea, they must be porked, I survived a snapshot from one when I was flying a Zero.  I didn't even have any significant damage.

Thoses poor F4U-1C pilots, whatever will they do to survive now?

Hristo I dinnae about that
I survived a good 1-1.5second burst from torque's F4U-1C yesterday or the day before.
I was in a 38 and missed my shot when I bounced him, and he pulled up to shoot as I zoomed up.  Range was about 600yds on my FE
He got the #1 engine and a rudder, but I was able to fly away and ditch the bird.

Take more snapshots.  7:0 against Zekes so far.  I giggle like a grade school girl every time one starts to chase me.

...now.. If I could find a good way to kill those Yaks... I'd be set.

Yeah, I saw Torq, tried to avoid a HO with him, he kilt me.  Next encounter he tried  the same move, I evaded it 'correctly' and he just kept on going, running.    He *was* in the F4U-1C, so I don't blame him.
