Enough Is Enough

I detect the pungent aroma of spoiled grapes.

Don't perk the La7, perk the 3 gun B20 loadout option.

As to the F4u "Crisis" well I was here.

4 out of 5 planes you saw were Chawgs, 75% of em had altitude, and they all HO'd like you wouldn't believe.

They had a kill rate that was extremely high as a result.

When you see THAT many la7s, and when the la7 kill rate gets even close to that high.  THEN I'll agree to perk it.

Until then, you can have my la7 when you pry my cold dead fingers off the stick!

Perk the son-of-a gun i say
I make it a point to chase not run,ok maybe a little,but just enough to seperate and guaranteed,I do turn fight with it even
with 38's.
Heck,even my CO will call me out to pull one out of the hangar and
fly ahead  


So you have my vote,perk it! and hopefully,it will put a stop to all this freakin' whinning about it.

[killnu]

its numbers not performance...once again.  not hard to kill la7, with anything, once you catch it.   this post was about its rediculous usage.

thanks for the Chog recap btw...glad i did miss it, but it seems the la7 use has been escalating, why not nip in butt now?


as far as perks, and then next nonperk ride to take its place...im all for perking everything to some extent except early war stuff...give everyone 1000 or so to start off as a newb, maybe less...once again, different topic tho.

[nsty1]

Killnu,The number of LA-7's aren't any different than say,A horde of Ponies or 38's.Who knows,next tour,everyone maybe in
Zekes and someone out there may bring it up to perk it.
I'm with you on one,perk them all then.

i remember the chog glory days  , looks like the la7 of today , time to give the 3 gun lala the same treatment,if not both models  ........38

[jetb123]

I want to know why it isnt. Its fast has great guns, rolls good. Turns okay. To me it sounds like a perk plane. To me it really doesnt have a disadvantage. No matter what alt your at you can dive to the deck and haul arse back to base. Unless you've got a perk plane chasing you. Or a typh, and it will take a typh a preety long time trying to catch.

[JaniK]

I agree, perk the LA7 to 30p, 50p sounds a bit too much.

[RTO]

the chog is perked???  what a joke  it's  only chump change to fly one of those,  13 perks or less at times  what's the point of perking the thing.  lol

out of all the 109's and 190's  what is perked??  nothing!!  out of U.S. planes what is perked?  F4U-4,   big deal what advantage does it really give anyway?  okay maybe if u want to be able to run away it CAN do that for the most part.

  The LA7 as well as other planes IMO should be perked,  like 190D9, 109G6/10, P51D, P47D40,  for example

Come on what else do we have to spend perks on?   Get rif of the silly eny factor and perk more birds.  Just don't perk them like some people putt,  you know  when you "Sally a putt",  the ball falls short of the hole on a gim'me putt!

[TalonX]

There are just too many of them.

I checked my stats....

Tour 65 - Killed 45 LA-7's, killed by LA-7's 1 time.
Tour 64 - Killed 17 LA-7's, killed by LA-7's 3 times.
Tour 63 - Killed 31 LA-7's, killed by LA-7's 2 times.

Let's see....  93 kills of LA-7 to 6 deaths by LA-7.   15.5 K/D.

Please make all Knits and Bish fly LA-7's at all times!

You obviously weren't here for the Chog crisis.

Ghosth and I were and although the LA7 numbers in the MA sometimes poses a problem it is nowhere near what the Chog did. Read what Ghosth wrote above.

I could agree to perking the LALA, atleast the 3 gun LALA, however, as stated above, that would only bring a new free bird in to mass usage, most likely the P51-D and it would probarly also in crease the already high numbers of spits.

I dislike LALA's, they are usually (not always) flown by no skilled dweebs whos only job is to hunt you down and make you turn to get killed by his 15 friends. In a close combat they pretty much own all 190's but the 109 G10 and specially the P51 can kill em.

Try a P51 D and learn how to use its flaps in combat, you'll quite quickly see that this plane is much more potent then the LA7, difference is the time it takes to learn to fly the two planes.

[38ruk]

I wouldnt be against perking Late War aircraft, as long as it has an earlier variant ........ 38





EDIT:



"I dislike LALA's, they are usually (not always) flown by no skilled dweebs whos only job is to hunt you down and make you turn to get killed by his 15 friends."

Exactly.

i do have to agree that the LA7 should be porked.  Besides the 262 and 163, it has the speed manuveralbility and firepower that most planes do not have.  P-51 was the best pistion fighter of the war, yet the LA 7 can kick the liven *hit out of a ponie in the MA.  Kind of wierd i think.  Just my 2 cents.

[Wilbus]

P-51 was the best pistion fighter of the war

That's an opinion, not a fact

Second, equaly good pilots the P51 will spank the living s*** out of the LA7 (unless the LA7 runs away).
