No. It's the principle of the thing.

What principal would that be?

Common courtesy dictates that you at least describe what the link leads to and/or what the issue is about. Aside from that if it's already in the forums (a visual scan of the link confirms this) then I/we may already have read it. If it's a dead post you are trying to revive for no reason or for your own reason, well it died in the first place. Let it stay dead.

No offense, but my answer is "no" still.

well since you put it like this

la7s are perked (250 perks to fly one) in the Arenas

i would love to open your eyes about the la7, but i guess you only play in H2H?

The La-7 does rule ... but that is not a good thing.

Well it has a downfall where it isn't good at higher altitudes (above 10k), it has crappy range, especially in the MA where the burn multiplier is 2. The cannons are useful, but not as powerful as hispanos that you would get on a spitfire/typhoon, but they are still cannons. I know you say it turns with a spit, but if that spit gets slow the lala can't hang with it. And where you are right that the lala can catch most planes on the deck, in a dive a pony will outrun it, along with a dora, and usually a tiffie can extend far enough to get away. Also it does get a little sluggish at higher rates of speed, to where if you dive after a dora, he can scissor at the deck and you will probably lawn dart. =) But it is a great plane, especially for base defense.

besides... its gay

RTSigma · « **Reply #12 on:** September 08, 2004, 02:10:05 PM »

Lets analyze the La7:

It has a hyperdrive that can go .5 past light speed.

There are a few errors in your assessment of the La-7. First the La-7 still does more than 410 mph at 20k, hardly a poor performer. Depending on the weight of fuel the La-7 can indeed hang with a Spit IX in slow turns at low alt, but with the added advantage of being able to disengage at any time should the fight turn against it. The cannons on the La-7 are not as powerful as the Hispano II, but they have a higher rate of fire and the La-7 carries three of them so the La-7 should be equal if not better armed than a Spit IX.

The only disadvantage in the La-7 that I can find is its limited range. However in the MA this is somewhat offset by the short distances between airfields, and the fact that at altitude the La-7 consumes considerably less fuel than at SL. Also since the La-7 does 366 mph on the deck without WEP it doesn't need much fuel to return home since it will get there fast.

All in all the AH2 La-7 is clearly, beyond a doubt, the best unperked fighter. Even if you add the perked planes I would only consider the Tempest, Me-262 and Me-163 to be superior, and only marginally with regard to the Tempest.

LA7 though good in alot of different aspects is still mediocre in the hands of an unskilled pilot. Stats mean nothing when the person in control cannot take advantage of those stats and use them to their advantage. Great fighter and unskilled pilot means uneffective missions.
