Author Topic: La7? (Read 6064 times)

I was just wondering why the la7 has 3 cannons.

I heard from a few people while playing that it was pretty rare. went and looked it up and it seems that it was extremely rare.
Now this is going by a quick google search.

3,000 - 5000 produced
400? with 3 cannons the rest with 2.

The la7 is a monster. Has incredible speed, great turn rate, and great ertical climb rate. Why give it an armament package that was extremely rair if you go by the numbers?

as well rounded of an aircraft that it is, i dont think it should be perked, but do think it should be more historically accurate.

I'm sure there are alot of aircraft in the planeset that were produced with some special weapons loadout, in as many or more numbers as the lala with the 3shvak cannons.

I don't fly the la7 very often, but don't want the guys that use it as there main ride to have to pay perk points for it either.

And honsetly i think the la5 with the 2shvak's does fine in the killing department.

How many F4U-1C were made? 200?

If the La7 was all that you would see every other person sucessfully landing kills in a la7. Thats not the case now is it?

bkbandit · « **Reply #6 on:** May 05, 2006, 09:22:23 PM »

there was like 500 f4uc's made, but it was mainly on air to ground duty. There was also a nite fighter verison of corsair, i think it was f4u2 or f4u2n.

La7 is on the same level of the spit16. I would like to see it more accurate aswell. The spit 16 i believe had a weapons set with 4 hispanos like the f4uc but im not sure how many where runing around with them. Perkin them both wont hurt nothin. People will just move to a different variant spit# etc or la5.

When spit 16 came out i flew it for alittle, i kept brokein it with hard turns, was it really that weak?(no im not tryin to hijack)

I say perk the dweeb16,La-7,and niki.

i agree perk both la7 and spit 16, but a noe theres a few more planes runin around that might be considered. The nik could be perked but a hardcore nik pilot might be lost without a plane but it packs 4 cannons and if that aint perked the f4u1c shouldnt be perked. Anything with 4 cannons should make the list. They make all the 6 .50 cal planes look weak by comparison. If not let me hav the f4u1c, then i wont care if other planes hav 4 cannons. I figured the perk list would be dictated by the number of planes produced but thats not true in Aces high. If it was true then the f4u4 wouldnt be a perked plane since there here only maybe 200 more f4u1ds then f4u4s. The perk list is dictated by the use of a certain plane, lets say a certain plane, lets say its the p40e for example is being flown by 35% of the main arena at one time(thats alot of p40s) aces high will look at the plane and then consider whether or not to perk it. This is the reason i heard they perked f4u1c, i dont noe if this is a fact or not but this is what i heard.

Alot of people want to perk la7 and spit16, i wonder if htc will do it or not. Like i said before its not like there being put in the cold because they still have other variants that deliver more then enuff performance to get the job down. Its not like its will be a huge performance down grade like if u would go from spit 16 to spit 1.

Nite fightin would bring a good handful of planes to life. Slayer start a new thread on that.(this is not a high jack)

i've read this thread before...oh no, summer reruns!

Speed55 · « **Reply #10 on:** May 06, 2006, 01:11:32 AM »

I don't think there would be any reason to perk a 2shvak la7, since it was a normal varient of the aircraft.

If they perk the la7 with the 3 gun package fine.... i guess.

I was just looking for the normal version of the la7 to be implemented.

bk.. try changing your convergance on the .50's.
As far as the spit16 and n1k, i don't think either should be perked either, since both have there weaknesses.. but that can be brought up in another post.
do you fly in the MA at all?
(this is not a hijack)

I said WEAK BY COMPARISON. When i fly a corsair with 4 hispanos and switch to 6 50s u FEEL a difference:lol

I fly a different name. Guys searched for my name in there but u wont find it. I dont want the message board to splash over into my flight time.

Perking the spit16 and la7 posts arent summer reruns, its last seasons episodes. I seen this thread come up alot of times.

(THIS IS NOT A HIGHJACK) i wrote that because i seen a thread go from having problems sleepin to a mini dating service. I figured i try to keep it on track. Ur second post on this thread mentioned perking la7 and from there we get spit 16 and the rest of the bunch. After that nobody mentioned the gun packages. I mentioned somethin about the gun packages but went straight back to perkin things.

I agree, i would like to see the weapon package on the la7 that is must accurate. But the diferent gun package might change the performance of the plane for better or worst. What was the other gun package, 2 cannons and machine gun or just 2 cannons?

XVI never had 4x20mms.

Some IX's did but were EXTREMELY uncommon, problems with heating.

Spit V's had the 4x20mm package, mostly in the Med / N.Africa region.

The original 'c' wing designation was 4x20mm.

La7 and the XVI on the same level? - a late 1944 plane v a mid 1943 plane (performance wise), I'll have a gallon of what your drinking lol.

Thats like saying a Spit II is on the same level as the early 190's.

Unperk everything.

bkbandit · « **Reply #14 on:** May 06, 2006, 03:04:44 AM »

i seen on a different web page that 16 had a 4 cannon option.

Nobody said anything about when wat was created. BUt the la7 and spit16 attract tons of newbies,this wouldnt put them in different leagues.
