Perk the N1K2-J
« on: October 27, 2009, 05:36:16 PM »
The N1K2-J should be perked in AvA.  When in AvA the only plane that the Axis flies is the N1K2, the fact is that there were not that many of them produced between 1941 thru 1944.  It went into production on Dec 27th 1941, and was in production until the end of the war in 1944.  Even though it had a 5 year production run according to Jane's and Rand Mcnally only 1345 N1K1-J's were built and only 413 N1K2-J' were built.  This is due to the fact that it was not a government supported development project, it was Developed in the private sector.  It is tireing going up against them constantly knowing that there were not that many.  When the F4U-1C had higher numbers in service and is a Perked plane.  Either perk the N1K2 or unperk the F4U-1C.

Hmmm...I think N1K2-J isn't perked is because it does have that great of a roll rate and is a weak plane like most japanese aircraft.

There's no perk points in the AVA. Be glad we have the N1K2 and Ki-84 otherwise there would be no reason for people to fly Japanese when we have a PTO setup.
A well flown Corsair is more than a match for the N1K2.

When the F4U-1C had higher numbers in service and is a Perked plane.

Uh. There were 200 F4U-1Cs built. That's even FEWER than the number of N1K2-Js.

The Charlie is perked because when it first came out EVERYONE was flying it. And I mean that literally, everybody WAS flying it, to the point that it was destabilizing the arena.

There are now many units in AH that have lower production numbers than the N1K2-J.  Its crown is sadly tarnished.

These all have lower production totals than the N1K2-J:

Ar234
Brewster Buffalo
C.205
F4U-1C
Me163
Ostwind
P-47M
Seafire Mk IIc
Ta152
Whirblewind


These variants have lower production:

Il-2 3M with two NS-37 37mm cannons.
La-7 with three B-20 20mm cannons

He asked to either perk the N1K2 or UNperk the Charlie. He's either extending his whine to the Mains, where the Charlie IS perked, or else he's completely confused.

it is about time this was addressed I remember Kev367th banging on about the seafireIII being a far more common (better) variant.

I love flying the seafire but having a little more HP will help me CAP/ base vulch better from CV's......

N1K2-J is too easy of a match with my P-47-25D.

Easy-mode A/C, but hardly a stellar performer.

Lackluster at best.  Years ago, it used to be ridiculous.

What defanged the N1K was the new 3d model that no longer allowed for the extremely gamey over the nose view with the mouse as a gunsight.

He was talking about before they changed the FM on the plane.

It USED to be a much diff. bird than what we have now.

The current niki is just "decent" when it used to be "great".
