Why don't we just get it over with once and for all. For the next month everyone fly the LA7. Let's get it out of our systems and just pig out with the little rockets for 30 days.:D

I would join the 'perk the Lgay7' crusade as well, but I swore an oath to never ever fly the wretched thing. I do think if every pilot in the top 100 in fighters flew only the lgay7 for a few camps the whining would be such a deafening roar that HT would perk it.

It is meaningless for you to fly a russian rocket, stang.  Russian rockets are useful when your base is under attack and you have no country mates nearby.  Or, if you go to an enemy base and attempt to kill troops.  In both cases, speed will save your airplane.

Since the rooks are rarely outnumbered, you will have little use for one.  You will also find they aren't that great as a general purpose plane.  Save yourself the grief. :)

A million La-7 protest march? Hmm ... I like it.

the LA7 is a monster

but i think what keeps it from being perked is its very short range with no drop tanks   and no jabo abilty


F4U4 Spit14 Temp all have short range but carry drop tanks and most have a very good jabo abilty only a few perk planes lack jabo

ME262 TA152 Spit14-fair- ME163 lawndart


the LA7 is not a F4UC because the F4UC has great jabo abilty and can be used from CVs with drop tanks to
known as Arctic in the main

The amount of ridicule and contempt people have for the La-7, itself, ironically proves how monstrous the plane is.

 I remember it to be version 1.05 when the Fw190D-9 and the La-7 was first introduced in AH. First I tried the Fw190D-9. It was a fantastic plane and I thought to myself "now this, is a fighter".

 Then, 20 minutes later, I tried the La-7 and just gaped in awe.

 Don't stay with the La-7 for too long Stang - that plane makes addicts. If a person like you fly that thing, I'm willing to bet that it'll probably double your average K/D and K/T instantly.

I don't get you guys...
Last month stats say

Killed by LA7 = 3
Kills OF LA7 = 2
Kills IN La7 = 1

Um?  Whats the big threat?  I got killed 73 times last month... 3 are La7... thats 4 percent.

The plane that killed me the most... 190-D9 got 6 kills on me... Still not even 10%.

My greatest kill count last month was done in the Spit9 I got 43 of my 105 kills in that.   After that was the lowly 190-a5, I got 11 in that. (figured I'd point that out incase anyone wanted to call me a spitfire T&B dweeb)

I dunno guys, sounds like you are all smoke and mirrors... Or La7s just don't like to attack me for some reason.
