IS THE CHOG AND NIKI BULL**** FINALLY KILLING AH?

[Jekyll]

 

I flew a 12 kill sortie today at a34 against Rooks in me Typhoon.

And you know, there's STILL people who say gunnery is not ridiculously easy in Aces High!

 Aside from that, what's wrong with it?...or the Chog for that matter?

The F4U-1C is missing 4 HVARs, that's what! Give it its 8 rockets, HTC!!!

Hehe, I love StSanta's attitude  . Makes me proud to be a Knight (even on leave).

Anyway, Spitfires and NIKIs are not dweeb machines. It is dweebish the possible use you do. You can E-fight very well with them, seldom break-turning. Keep a Spitfire fast, use the vertical, use it like a late 109G, turn hard only when you are on the deck (very low and slow) ... and you'll have a real killer-machine. IMHO, Bf109 dedicated pilots are the best Spitfire aces around  

Dont fight, have fun.

I have no probs with any AC. I think the problem is that most ppl haven't flown all AC so they do not know the Ac's weak points. That being the case how are you gonna beat an AC if you really don't what it can do?

[-lazs-]

funked... I see there are still plenty of idiots on 1 showing how little they know about any ac.

Face it grun... PAC war planes are just too good to fight against euro trash... They haven't even gotten to some of the monsters yet.

As I see it, real pilots didn't think the cannon equipped planes were much of an advantage over those equipped with 4, 6 or 8 fifty caliber guns.   In AH there is a huge difference for me at least.  It could be my connect, it could be the way things are modeled I don't really care what the reason is but... So long as that difference exists, I am gonna take the cannon version.

The nik is a monster but I don't like flying it.   The C is mediocre and anyone who actually fly's it for a tour finds that out.  I come online around the peak and find that there is a pretty good mix of ac up.   I see more Spits than anything else.

Ooops forgot.. What exactly is the "bull" in the Chog and the nik?   Is there something wrong with the FM?  I know the Hog turns too poorly but I don't imagine that is what grun meant... Is it a secret?

Short answer: no.

NO we have seen some people leave lately yes, but I think the people leaving would have an issue no matter what.

Just curious though..  Has anyone done a direct comparison between the Typhoon and F4uC as far as lethality goes?

I think each release of AH has seen a very popular plane.  I can remember everyone flying the P38, the 190a5, Yak, Zeke, when they first came out or when they were something special. I still see a lot of 205s, 109s, La5s, P51s flying about and the only planes I don't see that often are the 202 and buffs in general!

No doubt with 1.05 it will be the Hellcat or PT Boats or whatever... I've always flown Spitfire's so I'll continue to whether it's uber or not.

I can kill in anything. I can die in anything. I don't listen to anyone complaining about what I paid my $30 to fly, why should anyone else?

Selective realism is a flawed concept. The MA will always be an environment of chaos, by nature. Historical match-ups and goals are served best in the scenarios and snapshots. Relative discrepancies of fm will always be with us, no matter what sim we fly. I think what is important to consider is whether you feel the sim gets more right than wrong.

for me...

chog = jabo = target for hblair
niki = shoot fatty
205 = hog killer
typhoon = chase fatty = stall = ground

all this chog niki chog niki....

3 words....

What does this have to do with gunnery?

You, and I, do not know how many times Wardog landed and rearmed.  He is a good pilot and could easily survive long enough to rearm 4 or 5 times, although I'm guessing he did 3 rearms.

You are making a mistake in assuming that WB has a realistic level of gunnery and damage.  Because it takes less ammunition to kill another aircraft in AH it is possible to get more kills per sortie.  This does not mean that the gunnery is porked.
