Chog perked due to its 4 hispano cannons. I predict the new Hurricane will go the same way. Neither plane has "uber" flying characteristics, its the guns that make them what they are. Every time I see anyone whining the Chog is perked I tell them the D-hog is not perked... if they cant get a kill in a D-hog, an identical plane except for guns, then these people have a serious problem.. addiction to snapshot-spray kills.
N1k has uber (ufolike) flying characteristics and very good guns with lotsa ammo. And who said the n1k was slow? Those things keep near 400mph almost all the time..and they GET to 400mph in a slight dive real quick. I will film a LOT when new version is out, if the n1k is fixed, these films will provide hours of entertainment (if the n1k finally gets drag AND torque in its FM, its gonna be a laughingstock when the dweebs try the old 15g flat turn and zoom up to hang on prop trick.. it wont work mwahahaa) *fingers crossed* dinnae let me down on this HT
Spits are great planes, but they do have their inherent weaknesses (zoom rate, climb rate, slow accel).
LA7.. monster engine and deadly in the hands of any mediocre->vet pilot. Very few weaknesses to exploit other than its ammo load and great speed and accel.
I too have noticed much more variety this tour. Heck, since the price reduction ive seen a LOT of P-38s, 205's and p47s. There are still an unholy amount of spits, n1ks and la7's (in any engagement they will be 70%+ of the population), but what can be done? Hope next patch fixes some plane's FM's and the new rides would add to the variety.
