Found the answer to a running Lala if your in a Tiffy.
Do a 180 climb showing him your ass, he'll turn and inevitably will attempt a ho.

As for a Tiffy being being the most dangerous aircraft in the game - NO WAY
Only thing it has goin for it is its guns:
Turns/rolls like a dump truck.
Dumps e faster than Martha Stewart dumping stocks.
Moderate acceleration.

Was supposed to have an excellent zoom climb, not in AH2 though.

A typie cant go from 0k to 9k straight up. I fly typie %70 of the time and i fear no lala driver its just the fact that i can be looking down at many cons choosing my next target and a lala come up from the deck and blast me from my blind side. Its not the factor that a lala driver is bad its that the lala driver thats good make me mad. Run you turn and he turns for your six you turn repeat. Their is one know squad that fly's the lala like this and you can tell that they all use the same teacher. Tempest is god for a lala! But only by 5mph and wep.

Its not the plane, its the dweeb

I had Spit Is comming HO with my 110. You can imagine 200 a few seconds latter

Properly flown, the Tyffie is as dangerous as anything in the game. Anything you can do in a La-7 can be done in a Tyffie if you know how, and then some. Every plane has its tricks, and the Tyffie has its own.

Even a dump truck is dangerous with 4x20mm Hispanos and a driver than knows how to drive.

you know... i used to think "that guy is stupid to HO my 110 in his spit"

untill i lost so many i can't count.

i used to take the 110 up when i was PO'd at CV planes and ho them all LOL

i guess i really can't shoot when at D400 HO a spit popcorns me, and i dont land a hit with those 6 cannons in the 110

i gave that up a looooong time ago.

Lalas are often just fodder, and get chewed up nicely

Unless it's Shane, of course

Anyway, seriously, as almost any plane in AHII, the La is a dangerous opponent in the hands of a pro, and to top that, you can't run from it at low alt.
In the long run, yes, for it has short legs.
My favourite La killers is the P51B, the 109G2 and the Yak.
The death of the La would be a clipped and boosted Spit IX....

Uh JB, things are perfectly fine in my galaxy

I did not post that originally, I quoted it in my posted response to Nuke33

...
and no, you cannot move here;) there is only enough room for one...me

It's a great place, right next to the Big Rock Candy Mountain

let's not forget about the LA-5 for killing L-gay-7's. Has similar speed and acceleration and better manuvering. But only has two 20 mils that you need to get close with.

Also, a typhoon driver that knows the plane is not going to go for the HO because of the fragile raidiator it has, one ping and you are down unless a friendly base is REAL close by.

JB73 · « **Reply #27 on:** May 19, 2005, 01:02:57 PM »

oh my bad lol

nuke33, how's your star system then? ; )

didn't know AH had franchises on other planets ; )

Flyboy · « **Reply #28 on:** May 19, 2005, 01:08:53 PM »

any half decent pilot will not go for the HO on merge move.

its the most idiotic move you could possibly do.

it puts your chances of winning the fight at 50% no matter what the other guy flys OR whats his skill level.

the only reason i can think of to justify a HO move is if you are completely sure that your chances of winning the fight is below half.

frankly the current state of the MA is quite depressing. not because i get killed by HOs, i dont- i can manuver myself in such a way that not only i will avoid the HO i will allso shoot down the HO dweeb in less then 15 seconds after the merge.
what depresses me is that the averege MA pilot doesnt know any better

Its a very nice binary star system.. Lots of nebulae in the night sky, palm trees and white sand beaches.. you should come join me..

But really, I dont get into very many Dweebish merges with typhs like I do with LA7's.. Its VERY few and far between if a typh driver wants to HO, and then i always duck outta the way.. I know better..
