The La-7 isn't unstoppable by any means. I'm a crappy pilot, I fly a 47 usually, and even I manage to break even on them.

Are there too many of them up is the question?

I think there probably are, but it doesn't keep me awake at night. If you are really serious about getting them perked start flying them all the time. Enough people fly them, I think it will go the same way as the C-Hog.


That's always been Shane's rationale for flying them, he's just doing his part to get them perked allegedly. ;)

And that is the only reason it was perked.  And now it remains perked because of tradition.

So maybe the whiners will get there way with the LA7.

I just wish there were some imperical method for perking, rather than just that it is perked because it is perked.

I agree.  Instead of perking certain aircraft, we should be perking the pilots!  
We could do something like Monopoly.  Those pilots ranked in, let's say, the top 2000 (makes me safe!) have to pay a certain amount of points to take off.  These points go into a pool.  THen, the pilot who shoots them down, gets  the points in the Perked Pilot Point Pool!

O K

I did not mean to stat a revolution.

My problem is not the plane.  It is hte historical FACT that the 3 cannon version was not avil before the end of the war.

And I do not agree that 2 cannons is as leathal as 3.

The LALA dweebs may turn with you 2 times and when you reverse them they run away and come back and shoot you in the FACE with 3 cannons
 When I try to avoid the HO shot I get hit anyway so now I just point and shoot back!

How about giving us Luftwaffe guys the 109K4.  Perk it   I will still fly it.

sorry for making some of you mad  I was just frustrated from getting shot in the face by every dweeb that flies the La7

LOLOLOL "Get rid of the La-7" Get a grip....

I don't get it... Okay, the La-7 is a great low-level fighter, big deal.

As far as I'm concerned, they are nothing more than targets, with the vast majority of them flown by guys who are no threat unless you are in a coma.

Stop whining about them and learn how to beat them....

You has it free already, it called 109G10 in AH but it is K4 in fact.

You didnt start a revolution.  You joined one.  

2 cannons or 3 cannons, neither is lethal if you cant shoot.  The point is moot however, if HT could perk loadouts with our current setup, dont you think that would have been put in place a long time ago?  

As for face shooters, thats another topic entirely.  Dweebs will be dweebs, and if some of them fly La-7's, just as many fly spits and Tiffies and N1k's and 110's ............... anything they feel like they can get a HO kill with, they will fly.  

You already have a K4.  Its called the Bf 109G10.  Fly it with the 30mm cannon.  You have your K4.

The la7 ceased to be a worry for me with the introduction of AH2, which really brought a lot of the la7s disadvantages up.  It's range is abysmal, and it doesnt seem to have the performance gap it used to.

Any pilot who commits to an HO pass is sacrificing the initiative in any following maneuvering. Make a small jink, start a lead turn, and mr HO is now on the defensive.

So you want a lighter plane to fight, that will turn better and basicly shoot just as well?

Righton.
