LA5 lacks use but why
« on: January 12, 2004, 03:48:41 PM »
iv allways loved flying the LA5 sense 4 months ago and i fly it over the LA7 because it is a much better fighter

were the LA7 is a runner and LA5 is a very good knife fighter and what it cant outrun it can outturn it has a topspeed on the deck at around 360mph  yet it can fight almost as good as a F6F  in terms of close in dogfights

and the firepower can destroy any fighter if given a chance to land more then 1 hit

i tend to think that the LA7 is used so much not because they enjoy flying it but just because its the fastest low alt fighter in the game

so how about you people get out of that LA7 and fly the LA5 for a change

and i ask you why do you fly the LA7 over the LA5

la7 is better overall than the la5. plus you have an extra cannon that makes a lot of difference when it comes to snap shot.

La7 is lighter, extra fire power, acelerates faster has a slightly better climb rate.  

I'm a big La5 guy.  You just have to get in close and land a concentrated burst for the kill.  Hold that trigger down a little longer.  Snap shots, deflections are almost impossible and slashing attacks are just to tease those bombers although I have gotten lucky from time to time with all three tactics.  

I fly the 5 simply to perk farm and I catch many who underestimate the plane.  Also it's a survivor, keep it fast and you'll live forever.

I guess we have to answer to you?

In any case, the extra gun makes a big dif.  I was using the 5 but got tired fo getting assists since no one seems to be able to let you finish your fight.  They always have to help (unless you really need help :mad: )  My own scuadies will shoot over my shoulder to get the kill.

As far as running, just because its fast, it does not mean its used to run.  I don't run, I may extend a couple of K and then I will come back and kill you.  Also, how else are you going to catch the people that do run?

I love the 5 but its an assist factory when other 'friendlies' are around.  Is it OK of I keep using the 7 or g10 now, or should I conslut with you on the use of my $15 first?

dedalos, if your own squaddies are shooting over your shoulder, perhaps you'd better find a new squad :D

No, stealing your squaddies kills is the best part.

Yep, because people want the fastest, most manoeuvrable, most powerful guns etc... The LA5 would be more of a ch.. cha..   challenge! Doh - I said the C-word.
