Whaaaa...?  Nooooo? Wha - Nooooooo! Huh? Aw your crazy :D

Seriously though, fly whatever you like, just try in it please! C'mon, I spend a good part of an average night getting my butt handed to me trying to turnfight in a FW...  On rare occassions I suprise myself.

And Zazen, I dunno what you mean about that deflection shot being limited in FWs...  I thought you had that little piece of tape with the red dot thing down cold :p

The fact that you do that tells a lot.  :rolleyes:
 What does that have to do with running and why do you think it is limited to LA7s?  Not to mention that since you killed them and they re-up to come after you, it is not running.  How else would he catch your 190 anyway?

Whats your in game handle?  It'b be nice to know who I am talking to

Hmmmm....


IMHO ...

Everyone seems to be ignoreing the 109 family?

G10 with 20mm hub n mg's no gonds is good for chasin la7s, d9s, pony's, and typhs.  Or any runner actually.

G6 with 30mm hub cannon is good for buffs and ho'ers.  Also good for base defence.

G2 with 200 rounds of 20mm in hub is good for base defence.  Does a fair job against inb CV birds too.  Turns pretty good with gonds too.

F4 with gonds is great for turn and burn low against incoming CV birds and base defence.

E4 can be fun and a challenge too.

All of em can be good high alt birds against most anything. (many seem to dive out and run from high alt fights :( )

Granted the slats can throw ya off until you get a "feel" for when they will kick in.  But then you can use em to turn and roll better.

You can even use flaps in some cases to stay on that high runnin, turning badguy.

109's are pretty good planes.  In some cases they can give la's, 7 or 5, some really good fights.

Ok, I am a tad defensive sometimes as I am outspoken and tend to get more than my fair share of 'ignorant critisism' directed at me by people who have never, not once, ever in their entire lives, flown with me. But, these same people are quite willing to make erroneous assumptions as to how I fly based purely on rumor, specualation and conjecture.  My apologies.

The tape thingy only works if you can page-up the view. Page-up doesn't change the forward deflection view in Fw190s or 109s more than a tiny fraction of a centimeter. Take a plane like the Typhoon, P51 or F6F however and page-up in forward view gives you much more nose-low deflection possibilities.

Terrible nose-low deflection views, poor ballistics and horrid control compression makes 109s quite a bit less than appealing to me, personally. As far as running other planes down, 109's are not the best choice primarily due to compression and poor ballistics, all one has to do to 'shake' a 109 is go into a dive until he compresses, change direction and egress.

Nice try !!! ... you can't really then speak with any authority without have flown the plane ... observation only (even if you are VERY observant - how long are your arms ?) doesn't cut it.

I have seen people do a lot of stupid moronic things in the run09s and run90s and come out smelling like a rose too.

Ive flown every single plane in the game including the La7 (not in the main on a regular basis but a sortie or two..)(i do train in it though to stay on top of the flight model..)

It has the most strengths and least weaknesses of any aircraft in the game..

If you fly it...   your a dweeb...   I think HT put it in as a handicap for newer pilots really..  Look at every other aircraft that has similiar attibutes of the la7 and they are perked..  the only ones that are close and unperked are the mustang (poor accelration) and the g10 (compression nose view slats pilot experience is key..)

all other non perked aircraft pale in comparission to the total package the la7 offers..   most of the la7 you see in the main are dweebs..  you put a ace behind the wheel and its untouchable killing machine.. (note untouchable) (even better with ah2..)

The comments on the ki are accurate also but the ki suffers some problems at speed the la7 does not..

some say the la7 fuel is rotten..   not so ..  4 sectors on full tank with a 2 minute climbout to opti speed is ludicris..  (you can highspeed climb and be at the battle in like 4 mins.. at 8-10k wtf..)

some say the view sucks..  well compared to the stang (yes) but g10 has bars..  38 la5 190a series niki zeke etc..

3 shivaks wtf...   hell 2 shivaks are plenty..  some say balistics..  any cannon compared to .50 cal is inferior at accuracy... (hispo's are close though)

fly a zeke thats some balistics for you..  freaking shivaks are lasers under 400m..

the list goes on and on..  

there is a reason eskimo put richard simmons on the wing tip sporting a rainbow flag..  its the gay-est aircraft in the game..  HTC please regulate it..  Ill take C-hogs any day of the week as defualt newbmobile over the la7; at least the chogs had weaknesses....

That would be the result of the fuel burn being different from AH1.  At least the la7's occasionally committed to a fight unlike the run90's.
