What's the complain about La7's
« Reply #60 on: May 20, 2005, 10:15:55 AM »
I hate fighting la7's in my typhoon, they have an advantage in every aspect of ah11 game play except the guns, and this is nulified by my unwilingness to HO.

Plus not all typhoon pilots are timid its just knowing what situation you should or should not be in, like being below an la7 is almost suicide if he knows your there and no-one is there to clear your six.

I fly the typhoon because i find that gunnery is my best attribute on the game and the typhoon suites my abilities. Since flying the typhoon as my main ride my k/d, k/s have all increased it also improves your situational awarness.

If only p51d had 4x20mm's:eek:  i would not fly anything else. I find its basically a typhoon with better speed, climb rate, and turning abilities and range i just dont kill enough in them :(

I can outturn Spits at times with the La7.  IMO, if you CAN'T outturn a typhie in a La7, you shouldn't be flying the La7.  

Folks, I'll say this ONE MORE TIME "The La7 is one the BEST TURNFIGHTERS IN THE GAME".   " :lol, :aok, :rolleyes: & :rofl " all you want, it is.

Are you sure you dont confuse outflying the bad guy with out turning?

Even a spit could not out turn a spit :lol

Late war planes: 300 or less rank.
mid war planes: 1000 to 300.
early war planes: no rank required.


Maybe if this was turned around it might work....then the better a guy gets in his LA7....the less he gets to fly it ;)

So the score potatos get to ride the uber late war monsters while the noobs are stuck in the inferior early war planes.

Do you see how this logic is flawed and not a money maker for HTC ?

most of your good pilots don't fly la7's, they don't need to.  I am 1 of them.  I fly the tiff 90% of the time.  I flew the la7 1 time in my whole AH career.  I thought the lala was to easy to kill people with.  Takes hardly any skill.  Try turn fightin a tiffy with lala's and spitty's and even 109's like I do.  That a challenge. la7 is not.

You do realize that you just refuted your own idea, right?  If the good pilots don't need to fly La7s, then who needs to fly them?  That's right... the average and poorer pilots need to fly them.  Why should the "good" pilots then be the only ones allowed to use them?  Why would HTC limit the use of a plane like the La7 to people who neither need nor desire to use them?

I'm sorry, but this is a stillborn idea.

i totally suck in the la7, but i can't resist flying it... i hate it when tiffy's try to TNB with me.

tiffy's also run very fast, very hard to catch before they make it back to safety of base acks.

la7 pilots are normaly newbies however they still know that they have the fastest plane in the world and there best way to "fight" is to hit X and autolevel.

THATS why i hate it

but...

because of that fact i myself have started to fly it, so i can chase the *******s down.

however, landing 6 kills in a 190a5 or a 109f4 is must more fun than landing 6 in a la7....because you had to work for it.

PERK IT. 2 perks would do. same with all the top used planes.... just 1 or 2 perks. most vets have 10000s anyway

Would never happen Overlag.
HT will never perk the 190D9, La7 and Pony - Imagine all the whines.
May as well face the facts, we're stuck with them, like it or not.

Interesting tonight, once the ENV kicked in the Knits forced into the earlier war stuff, it was funny to see them floundering around.

Wouldn't really mind any of the top 4 free, IF the RAF had a post 1942 FREE plane to compete, but no.

i really dont know why 2 perks would be a problem. But then if these people are ONLY flying La7's they probably only get 1 perk per sortie anyway. and thats where the problem starts i guess. However me flying early war planes i get 10-30 perks per sortie.....

the only good thing i really use the la7 for is for base defence, with a "semi" vulch on. Once up, stay low, get that speed up then come back to the base and proper annoy those vulchers ;)
