First, while it see's a lot of use, the La7's kill to death ratio is not that astounding.
La-7 25045 deaths to 31833 Kills.
F4u-1c, shows instantly why it was perked, indeed, it could be perked higher yet.
F4U-1C 4414 deaths and 10623 kills.
Thats pretty good odds for a perk plane.
There it is folks, the next time I see a la7 whine I'm starting a revolution to perk the dora. Its WAY worse than the poor la-7.
I do believe a important part of the equation is not seen on paper in black and white. How are these 2 planes used.
F4u-1c's are not seen used in base defence mode, because of perkies, and the possible loss of many perks quick.
La7's are the plane of choice on a base defence, they are used like a rented car. No perk loss no no big deal to get killed just reupp another. This would skew the kill to death ratio, making it look worse for the La7.
The f4u1c lives off field cap,(probably trying to vulch an la7) helping boost its score.
A stat like Avg. flight time for each plane, might help indicate whats really going on.
My problem is the amount of them in the air, you fly into a enemy base and out of first 10 planes ya see at least 5 will be La7.
and xnay on the perk increase for the 1c will ya.
