Therin lies your problem--the MA ISN'T a simulation of WW2 and was never meant to be.J_A_B

It's Quake with a WW2 theme and the La7 is the BFG token hacker.

I understand Odd, but you stay in touch.... I get bored over here in Italy!! Not alot of chances to fly with the Squad. As far as the Lala goes....Perk it! All the stupid HO's people do with it is crazy and they are just cheap arse pilots! THe have no respect for anyone but themselves and no skill is involved in ramming some other plane.......cheap I tell ya!

I will have to get another game and try hooking up with some Rookies Raiders with yah.... keep your wings level and thy speed up! Ciao!

Oddball, now that I see and recall you handle (oddcaf) I looked up your stats in Tour 64. As I predicted you mostly fly heavy, faster B & Z planes (Fw 190D-9, P-47-D30, Bf 109G-10, P-47D-11 & Tempest). Of those, your K/D seems only to suffer in the Jugs and 109G-10. The problem, as you have pointed out, is that The El-Gay-Seven can out-accelerate, out-climb, out-run & out-turn most of these birds. Why not stick to the planes that you fly and do better in against the El-Gay and that have a turning advantage (Spit-V, LA-5, 109f-4)?

Hey Odd....
Don't stay away too long. I went through a short burnout period a few months ago myself...you'll get the bug again...at least I hope you do(your one of the few people that would give me a check six!) I know how you feel about the game play as of late. The LA should be perked.. The TA152...f4uc...and spit14 are, why not the LA? Put a small F4uc size perk on it....you want to up and HO with it...you'll pay a price.
Speaking of HO's, thats whats really been getting to me latley. They really need to try and do something about that. It's WAY to easy IMO. Helm and I were even talking about going to the TA and practicing them....lol. Just for the times when thats all the enmy wants to do( which seems to be alot )

Well.....enough rambling from me
Just take some time and I think (or hope )you'll get back in the saddle again and cover my prettythang.

See ya in the air

As CO of the Cactus Air Force, I am sad to see this. AH has lost a class act in the MA, one with as much wit as myself, and he will be missed.

I can outturn practically anything in an La7, I do agree they should be perked. However, as much as I enjoy turnfighting in it, I relish HO'ing other Lgay drivers and winning 95% of the time.

I concur with eskimo's post on the plane type's that Odd flies, to an extent. I've seen Odd pull of watermelon in a D-11 that is unbelieveable.

After 10 years Odd (going back to AW), you deserve a break. I'll miss you man!

ODM!

LA-7 and all Commie planes are way overmodeled here (Source MUST be "Official" Kremlin Documentation), hence one reason I play more Pacific Fighters these days than AH. Very frustrating to say the least. The 3-canon Lgay with its poor copy of the FW engine saw VERY little combat, almost none! How many 2-Canon LALAs are flown in the MA? Unless it is a mistake, probably NONE.

I dont see any problem with what he is doing, he is voting with his wallet and leaving a reason. If my squadron wasn't here, I would be gone myself for a myriad of reasons, I just happen to like hanging out with them more than I dislike various problems with the game.

So best of luck to ya Oddball!

Odd. I agree with the conensus. The LA-7 should be perked. I fly the LA-5 on occasion, but I always gravitate to the Yak 9U, and sometimes I get gravitated in it. I thoroughly enjoy shooting down LA's.

I completely understand the frustration, but really, lets becareful about what we say. Our Lavochkins and Yakoblevs uses fairly reasonable performance numbers.

If you wanna see overmodelled planes, just pick out the La-7, or the Ki-84 from your Pacific Fighters plane roster.

It must be time zone related................

I never see these hordes of La7's in euro time zones...........or is it only Bishops that fly La7's?

I enjoy the La7........ particularly when I'm one agin many.....I still get in too deep and still get hammered but its fun.

I agree the 3 cannon version could be perked..........

I use a Yak9U for mid alt stuff and the La7/5 for low level stuff and the Il2 for clearing out GV's.

Re Ho'ers etc I am just amazed that folk use the La7 for this when the Typhoon is available.

cya Oddball:)
