1) when was THIS tour started, and when ended?

2) Does it count a kill if you get discoed shortly after? As I seen to remember two or three La-7s go burning into the sea, only to get the "White Screen of Death" seconds after getting the kill. (I was at my dads, I get discoed there all the time)

It is a plane that needs no skill to fly.  I flew a sortie on Sat. Night as a joke, to instruct a new squaddie how it's an easymode plane.   I landed 5 kills with 250 rounds remaining with only one vulch (I have rarely flown this in the span of a year).  

I cannot COUNT how many La7's I have shot down with a Hurricane IIC, Spitmk1, mk5, Ki-61 or 109F4.    

IT ISN'T A CHALLENGE to fly it.

Started at the beginning of this month.  But looking at your previous tour, you're set to break your record of getting shot down by the La7.  You should at least break the 30 mark by the end of this tour.

You checking the right name? I aint been shot down by more than one La-7 this tour that I can think of, and ive nailed two or three as far as I can remember in a 109E. But really, are you SURE?!? I do not remember any La-La-Dweebs this month, or anytime recently. Ive only been killed by spits and nikkis recently. Also, where do you get these statistics?

Last tour pilots flying the following planes shot down more LA7's than pilots flying La7's shot down those planes.

BF109K-4
C205
F4U-1
F4U-1C
F4U-4
FM2
FW 190 A5
FW190D-9
Hurri mk IIC
Ki-61
Ki-84-Ia
???***
Me-262
N1K2**
P38J
SpitIX
Tempest*
Typhoon


* In terms of ratio the Tempest was by far the best La7 killer. (the best unperked La7 killer in terms of ratio remains the Typhoon)

** In terms of sheer numbers the 2nd highest number of kills on La7's were by N1K2's

*** In terms of sheer numbers the 1st highest number of kills on La7's were by La7's(honours of course were even)

Of course from this list we see examples where its the "typical" pilot plane combination rather than the plane alone which has produced a level of superiority.

However it is pilot/plane combinations that we fight against.

I do not see masses of La7's these days. They are common but the ac of choice seems to significantly favour one of the Spit variants.

Compared to many other ac.........

Its easier to stay safe in an La7.

Its easier to "spoil" in an La7. (it will force an engagement which others may finish)

Its easier to disengage in an La7.

Hence it can be quite annoying................... however it is also quite satisfying to kill one if the fight was good...........but then the quality of the fight is intrinsic to what the game is about

Anybody got that animated .gif that DoK uses, that looks like a old english print of a guy beating the dead horse with a cane?

I'd love to pick that up for occasional use....
