That's what the throttle is for. I can't tell you how funny the con's spasmodic reaction looks when he realises I've chopped throttle + full rudder and won't overshoot. PANIC! … Flip flop ... dead. ;)

I dont think the spit16 should be perked.


I’m guessing you experience that with every plane that’s faster and can’t turn with the Spit. Exception being the La has a better chance of getting away.

You can’t expect people to turn with your Spit. I learned that in the Spit V.

no but i dont expect to be hoed either lol it happens in everyplane i fly against a la all la-7 pilots seem to want to do is BnZ and Ho its a fact. They wouldnt HO if it was perked tho would they? Plus if it is a good la pilot they could easily have a good chance of winning against a spitty.

Care to put ur skills to a test?  It doesnt matter how u chop throttle, flap deployment and rudder size, along with other characteristics generally get the la7 pwned.  I very rarely get shot down by one while flying(I get killed plenty by them upping capped fields)  and almost never co-alt co-e merge!

Interesting viewpoint. I see it from the other side of the fence, and I really get annoyed with everybody trying to HO me when I'm in the La. I think the problem is that in any situation where you have a slow stall fighter vs a fast B&Z'er you end up with a series of HO's unless both pilots actively avoid it. This is simply a result of the asymmetric performance and fighting style of the opposing planes.

You hate La's because they always HO you. I avoid 1-on-1's with Spitfires because they always become HO jousts.

Sure! I’m always up for a good duel. What plane do you fly?

Now, I dont mind the La, I have never had problems with them. They only time they kill me is by cherry-picking in FT. I actually cannot remember a SINGAL significant kill by an La-7! They dont seem to go after me, though that could be because im the 'tard flying a 109E, or a P-40E. Either way. Ive killed more La-7s with 109Es, than La-7s have killed my 109E. I mean, I think I repel them! My big one are the Spit 16 Dweebs and Nikki Dweebs. Now, listen: JUST BECAUSE YOU FLY A SPIT OR A NIKKI, I DO NOT CONSIDER YOU A SPIT/NIKKI DWEEB. I ONLY CONSIDER YOU ONE IF YOU CANNOT ACTUALLY FLY AND ONLY RELY ON THE UBER-NESS OF YOUR PLANE. Anyone in a Spit other than a 16, knows his plane. I have had GREAT fights against Spit 8s, but the 16s that I have seen always cherry pick and gang-bang. I have always been killed by them when I am chasing someone, and two of them and a nikki pop up out of nowhere. As soon as I shake them and get co-everything, they sprint away. They only come near me when I am busy with someone else. THOSE are the problems, and unfortunately, that cannot be fixed.

I think you need a new repellent...you were killed by La7s 14 times this tour without a single La7 kill to show for it.

If I think the fight will be boring, yes. I don't know about you, but I'm playing this game to have fun.

on perking LA-7's, etc:
« Reply #89 on: September 10, 2006, 05:39:41 PM »
I would support perking these "dweeb" planes, but only after a new player to the game has had a chance to fly long enough to build up some points in them and get comfortable with tactics.  I've been on for a little over 3 months now and, while I'm trying to move on to other planes, I still get shot dow a lot!  So don't take my "runaway" airplane from me just yet. :cry
