Unperk it, please.

drop the perks and lower the OBJ of that like the Chog. if it were unperked you wouldnt see any other corrsair. just like the spit 14. unperk that and there will be no other reason to fly the "lower-end" models.

Based on my own personal experience, if the Chog needs to be perked, the F4U-4 needs to be perked...maybe not so expensive, but I find it much more pilot-friendly than the Chog.

Weak guns(compared to the Chog)...just like your arguement.

Yeah yeah, Rip "I like to fly F4Us" Snort, that's why I prefaced it with "based on my experience". No technical data, just an opinion, and frankly, I'm not sure I think either should be perked, but I'd perk the -4 before the -1C.

This has to be some sort of troll. People whine that the P-51D needs perking, and the F4U-4 is a better plane in every aspect at all altitudes by a large margin. Unlike the LA7 the F4U-4 doesn't suck above 10K.

Perhaps it can stand to be a little cheaper, but un-perk it? Only if you want it to flood the arena.

98% of my sorties in April were with the F6F.

That's because your only other option in blue is the big flying turd called the F4U-1D. Ick.

The F4U-4 is waaaaaay better than the chog, and you want it unperked, after all the crying to perk the chog.

I know one thing, if they unperk it, I will fly it exclusively, and hahaha, I will pwnx0r the arena.

15-20 points will do. 20 is enough to deny any flooding of the MA and it's much closer to what it's worth imho

Once the La-7 gets into high blower at 18k, it sparkles again. In fact, its best altitude (speed wise) is right around 20k. I take Lavochkins up to 25k+ for Buff intercepts. Performance is still pretty good up that high too. No, not quite up the the Mustang, but good enough to give a good account of itself.

My regards,
