SHeeeeesh

You can even go up anymore with out seeing those dam planes all over the place now.

Change the name of the game to La7's high

The damn 3 cannon version was not even in combat until march of 45 for crying out loud.

not only that but internal cockpit temps were at 104 and it suffered from exhaust gasses in the cockpit. it also had a short range .

I went out and got a book on this plane, Yes it was a great plane and could out perform the FW's and out run the 109's but it had problems. It also suffered from poorly trained ground crews.

I was surprised to see that the spar was made out of metal intead of wood as I had thougt.

But beeing a late war aircraft and it performance so exceptional in the game, it needs to be perked or atleast the 3 cannon version perked. Or more and more players ore going to get fed up and start flying it and then it will become

La7's HIGH

You guys just possessed by that 3-guns La7

There no big difference between 2x20mm and 3x20mm. Like the somebody said: who cannot hit with four guns will miss with eight.

P.S. Perk all late war planes, please

no better way to do it ;0

Well the C-Hog was perked as a result of mass whining...going on that theory it's just a matter of time for the LA7.

who cares, once tod is out perks wont mean anything.

what do people care about the 3 cannon opposed to the 2 cannon?

realistically you will get better performance from the 2 cannon ammo load because of the decreased weight....

the effect in small, so in AH people take the more ammo (small ammount anyway) because like me thay can't shoot.

give up the whole "3 cannon" argumnet, it is an ammo loadout in the game, not an entirely different plane you dolts

LA7
109G-10
Fw190D-9

possibly P-51D

Should all be perked, all late war uber versions of aircraft we already have in game.

Just like the perked Spit XIV, Tempest and F4U-4

Yanno I could buy into this arguement.
Perk the high end version of each plane a nominal perk cost like the C-hog. (anyone who cant afford a C-Hog needs to spend more time in the Training arena)

Course none of this would effect me much as I only rarely fly the high end planes let alone perked ones

2 x shvak weighed 42Kg each = 84Kg

3 x B20 weighed 25kg each = 75 kg

In fact the 3 cannon had ammo box/belt room for 170 rnds per gun but rarely used it mainly loading 130 to 150 rnds per gun.

I do not know the total weight of a 20 x 99 round and shell. but if it was 1.5 the weight of the projectile (97 grams) @ 150 grams then the 9kg saving between the 2 x Svak and the 3 x b20 would allow an additional 60 rounds.

I think we can assume that the weight of a 3 x b20 @ 150 rpg is pretty much the same as a 2 x Svak at 200 rpg.

re the 3 cannon advantage.

As a very regular La7 pilot of average capability I can say that the 3 cannon is a significant benefit over the 2 cannon.

Its the difference between several kills and many assists.

Edit

There is another reason why the two ac may be split in future patches. HTC are vastly improving the object shape accuracy as they upgrade each ac. Exentually they will come to the La7 and the fuselage covers over the cannon are quite different for the 2 and 3 cannon versions.

This would be the time to split the La7 into eg La7_44 and La7_45
