The F4U1-C
« on: April 22, 2001, 05:21:00 PM »
This is not intended to be a whine, nor anything like that. This is not because one has shot me down, nor because the hispanos...this is only because I happened to take a glance at the tour 15 stats. And I dont intend to start a flamefest so please, keep the head cool  

Today, 23-4-2001, with one week of TOD left, the F4U1-C has 20000 kills awarded.If we extrapolate this tendence, we can see that, for the end of the TOD, the plane will ammount for almost 27000 kills.

 The second for now is the N1K2 with 9000. The third the Spitfire IX with 8300

Just for the sake of comparison, the La7 is 5300 and the P51D 4300. THe Fw190D9 has 3600 and the 109G10 3800.

Frankly, I could care less if its the map or not, because with the other map it was,too the most used plane by far.
The Chog is found everywhere, and it is getting worse every tour that passes by.

With all due sincerity,and IMHO, I simply dont understand what is HTC waiting for to perk it.

I agree, it should be perked.  Not just because it is overused, but because only 200 of them ever saw combat.  It shouldn't be the dominant plane, in fact it should even be a major plane.  It should be a bit-player, rarely seen.

I found it quite amusing that Ta-152 is a perk-plane but C-Hog isn't...

Every tour the same stats are pointed out - nothing happens!!!

Didn't Pyro mention once the the CHog would be perked on next host update? Well, several updates later CHog is still dominating the arena!

Perk the CHog (cheap) that's all I am asking for!

If you want more perks, just perk everything over 1.0 k/d.

N1k was what, 8th best k/d of fighters last tour?

Well, it seems to me that a majority of the subscribers don't want it perked.  While the argument to perk the F4U1-C can gather plenty of support here on the BB, there's still plenty of people flying the bird, as indicated by the stats in Ram's post.  Anyone think this is incorrect?

I don't feel I have anything to gain if the Chog is perked, and I certainly don't have anything to lose (since I don't fly it), but I have not problem with it's presence as it is.

Sad thing is, if they'd just waited till the perk system, they could have introduced it as a cheap perk without any controversy.

Now, when it gets perked, it's the s***storm of all s***storms.

All I can figure is that it was a bit of "We've got something WB doesn't"-ism.

Though, HTC has liked cannon hogs for a long time. Didn't they introduce the F4U-4 with cannons years back in WB, and then took the cannons off when people pointed out that there were no F4U-4 20mm Hogs in WWII?(There are a great many sources that confuse the CHog with the F4U-4 with 20mm).

it seems to me that there will always be a "c-hog". If you perk it, get rid of it, whatever.. people will just fly the N1K. Why? Because people just want to win, and they dont care enough to learn a new challenging AC. They want the easy road and they want to win. And why not!!! Just because YOU or I choose that route, why should they? Its their money. I personally dont get it when i think about this hate for the C-Hog. Oh..I understand your arguments, I just dont seem to have the same probs exclusively with it. The AC/pilot combo punishes you for making mistakes. You screw up, a 4 hispano bird hurts. Its just rediculous to hear the whine.

And RAM.. dont try to disguise it Just because you throw a different tone on it, its still whine and puke and trash... you know. You have certainly heard it before.

sincerely..

Perk the Chog. If the dweebs want to HO endlessly it's going to cost them. They'll have to buy that HO laserwagen.

"You screw up, a 4 hispano bird hurts"

Yes, im sure I made a big mistake when that chog is at d1.1 and spraying those 1 ping wonder guns.

Perk the Chog, Perk the N1k, Fix the 38
