Your cockpit never gets covered in oil ........even when your engines spewing it all over the guy behind you.........

Your blood stays in your body ...........even when some other pilot has wounded you..............

Your aircraft may recieve hits but they never make nasty holes in it.................

Typical russian reasoning that they learned from watching ford motor commercials.

Advertise your weakest/worst point.

Then people think its a "feature" and don't complain. Or they think they the only one its happened to.

LA's & yaks overdue for goodies IMO.

Ohh & btw slip a shot glass in for that vodka bottle please.
Hmmm maybe need a keycombo to throw vodka on windscreen to clear the oil for landing eh?

Best reason to fly LA7s:

In todays "Don't ask, don't tell" environment this is a great way for you "guys" to spot each other.  :lol  :rofl

My Yaks seem to get blood and oil all over the place (and often! lol).

Not sure about the 9T, I tend to forget which one I'm in.

The main reason to like LAs,

So you can catch all the D9, Typh, 51D dweebs that can't do anyting but blow the merge run as fast as they can, climb back up to their perch while no one is around them come back in at alt blow the merge again dive to deck and run again till no one is around to climb back up on perch to come back, blow the merge, dive on deck, run climb back up, blow merge, run, climb, blow merge, run, climb RTB for gas and start all over again.:lol

I think I ran into everyone of yo uweenies last night.

I thought that was Shane's job :D

I've developed a new strategy.  I let them come to me--I just bring out my M16 O' Doom on a vulched field--clear it a bit than whip out the FM2 O' Doom and mostly watch them auger trying to vulch me.  Fun :aok

I like the LA7 guns, the brutal acceleration, and it is sooo nimble. :D  

You have to practice fuel management, but all in all the LA7 rox! :aok

Hahhahaa LOL Hun.

Yeah I revert to the LA when I am sick of dodging them in my SpitV.  FM2 is fun too.

I have gotten alot better at letting them climb up my arse, I jink a little then watch em go screaming by.  JB73 must have dropped on me 6 times in a row last night, but I think either he hit the ground or got discoed just as his e state was gettting to where he was mine.  Was a fun fight tho.  Now if I could only get them in my sight while they are in range more often.  There is no better feeling then poping a cherry pick - er I mean BnZ guy as he goes whailing past you.  lolh.

I couldn't agree more.  La7 is one of the most fun planes in the game, if you turn fight with it.  Nothing worse than a La7 runner.

Ok yeah there is see my first post lol.
