Nope.. if they flew La7's they would be tempted to fight so they fly deeee 9's and geee 10's.. that is what I see the most of.. can't catch either one with anything and they outclimb what they have trouble running from.

yawn...same ole whine vs LW planes. Your argument can be said for the LA7 too.  It's called variety guys. Not everyone is obsessed with low alt FM2 furballs every sortie.

nope... La7 guys will fight.   If every deee 9 in the game were replaced with La7's I would have more fun.   LW guys don't fight... That is the problem.  Never good to see em in the game.

lazs when you have some dumb chicken running around left and right that you must kill for dinner, you don't go by 50 ways to chop it's head off.
why don't you ask 'lw' guys like jg2 what they do when from their stall bricks they see a good furball.. ask Frenchy etc what my idea of fun in a 262 or 152 versus their pack of 47s etc is.

Because they like the feel of the course leather G strings and nipple clamps.

wow moot... 262's and 152's... gee, I sure like to see them in the game..  lots of furball fun there eh?  yeah.. waht a furball extravaganza that would be.. 152's and 262's against p47's.   Hope you guys do it somewhere far from me.

The only good thing about those planes is that I see em so seldom.

yer such a little brown noser skull :lol

interesting points brought up.  not saying all are like this, but... 5 squaddies and myself are in DA, just messing about in different types of planes 3 vs 3.  

One has to leave.  So there is this guy in there (who shall remain nameless) we ask if he wants to join in.

Ok he says, rules for the round are p-40b's 25% fuel - at label range we see P40 and 109 and he flies off away from the ensuing tangle to get alt and bnz.

Ok maybe he didnt understand that its same plane fighting, so we explain again that we all go in same aircraft, he is pissed off he has to give up his 109 but does it anyway.  

So its FM2's next round, once again we merge and 1 of the fm2's goes awol, AGAIN he goes to get alt and bnz.

This guy has no comprehension how to fight at all unless its BnZ, he got all aggressive after that saying how he should be allowed to fly his G-10 and challenging squad members to a duel.  When the duel starts he proceeds to BnZ AGAIN (and loses - again).

This is a guy that is in the MA and lands a lot of kills there.

The reason i brought this thread up is i always see the luftweenie cheerleaders in the aircraft/vehicles forum and AHII forum, and you look at the sigs in the WWIIOL forum, vast majority of them are luftweenies.

I personally have nothing against them - infact i have much respect for those that can fight on equal or less favourable terms in their LW iron.  The type of player mentioned above, that cant fight equal terms or has no willingness to fight is just pathetic.
I am not ashamed to confess that I am ignorant of what I do not know.

chee lazs nice fishing, look at all those catches :)


we all know you didnt ment that. after all you are not THAT stupid.
saying LW iron is easy to fly. and that you dont need skill to fly them.

pfft you crack me :lol

oh and yea those 30mm hit hard, the catch is you have to get real close for the kill. and the 20mm Mg151 must be the worse 20mm cannon in the game.

Ahh quit pickin on the Luftwobbles. I was in a Luftwobble squad for 3 years over the hill. Plane of choice there was the A-4.

I liked flyin for the underdog and with their STUPID axis/allied setup flying leather meant being outnumbered 2 to 1 on good the nights. 3 to 1 on other nights..

I know the fasination of the leather.

I fly leather a couple of times a year over here. Keep the leather in the closet for when the need comes..

It chafes me cuz it went and got stiff from non use.

nopoop

It's ALL about the fight..
