Leave the poor La-7 alone.  Eliminate all perks.  Fly what you want.

If it's to do with numbers built we should perk the seafire IIC, only about 375 were ever made. :eek:   However to compensate the Fleet Air Arm fans i guess HTC will just have to model the most common seafire- the seafire L III.    It only seems fair.:)

Its no suprise that the next song is in our countdown, its been on a fast rise and even though its little more than a remix from their previous album, from the chart climbing second CD from Dale Hitech and the Scuzzies, titled Aces High Too, Debuting at #8 its that old time favorite with the same beat here's "Perk the La-7"

I got my data from http://www.acepilots.com/planes/specs.html I guess it's incorrect but the other data supplied seems accurate.

Tilt probably knows the answer more accurately, but what I have states:

1942   La-5 - 1,129
1943   La-5F/La-5FN - 5,048  (it does not break down F's vs. FN's)
1944   La-5FN - 3,826

Less than 300 C.205s were built.  I have the number somewhere, but am feeling too lazy to look it up.

Also, only about 300 Merlin 61 powered Spitfire F.Mk IXs (like we have in AH) were built.  So the Spitfire Mk XIV was actually three times as numerous as our Spitfire Mk IX.

The p51s and p238s and p47s are the worst.

We need more fun and less run.....


are you trying to say P38s run?  maybe from some, but not the planes we are talking about here.

Typos are typos…

but I meant what I said, US planes run. They all suck and are boring to fight (with few exceptions).

Those late war planes in which the p38l (they mostly run into the ground on suicide pork and auger “mishuns”) is one (it saw service about the same time as the d9 for instance) and should be perked.

Planes like the la7 etc... are fun to fight. In AH2 with just 21 min of fuel they can’t run far even if they wanted to.

Engagements with P38's are mostly "boring" because most of the time the person at the controls doesn't know what they're doing.  Even though I fly 38s almost exclusively, I'll be the first to admit that most of the time they're easy kills.  Not sure why you'd want to perk it.

How about perk odinance like perking  special weapons and things like DTs etc?

That would help instead of perking the whole plane no?

With FBM of 2, La-7 with full tank can:
- Climb to 10k ,full throttle
- Cruise at around 320mph 1.5 sectors
- Combat with full throttle and occasional WEP around 10mins
- Cruise back 1.5 sectors at 320mph.

When the combat time is reduced to 5mins, La-7 can travel two full sectors and back. People will learn quickly not to use full throttle all the time.
