only if you win for january.

i fear you have gravely overlooked my intentions max.


everybody wanks on about la7 this, la7 that.



i'd like to see most of the 'vets' that do the moaning land a large ammount of kills in it.

max, i'd rank you above storch, but i doubt you wuld find it easy to breach the 5 kills mark before you get shot.

the 14 kills i landed was from a huge furball that was greatly unfair numerically to my team.

what ever you say, that hour of flying took alot of my virtual 'skill' to accomplish, and i too find it hard to breach the 5 kills mark on most sorties.



given that it is SUCH a dweeb ride, it cant be that hard to land 20 kills in one right.......?

I flew LAs "exclusively for a tour" -- and gave up after 1.5 weeks of "light" flying with 100 kills and 20 deaths. [edit: fixed number, LA7 only, tour 80]

That's not even trying. I'll leave this one to your Bat, maybe I'll try the next one. I'm just burnt out on the La after 1.5 weeks, and this was a couple of months ago as well. I still have no desire to go back :)

Point spread is 14, no vulches just good clean close kills. If i can do 16 in a spit 16 the i would think that you could duplicate it but the la7 but the cannons are weaker and you only need 7 hits with the 20mm in a spit.


I always run out of gas before i use all my ammo in the la7. Also its a base defence plane so your not going to be in a favorable fight that would allow you the amount of cons needed to do such a run in under 18mins.


14 is a good marker.....

All yall plane discriminator people need to take a pill and have some fun. Fly the la7 make others look bad if you can. Try something other than a "excuse plane" that's what i call them. I really think their are some people that fly the higher eny planes just because they dont really like the idea getting beat by i lower eny plane and in the back of their mind say "well i was flyn a p40b"   you got beat thats all (:

well said FX.



the point of this is not to decide what planes are cool or not.



its to see who is the biggest and best dweeb in the la7 for january '07



if you cant fly la7 for whatever reason, no one is forcing you to ;)


if you can, then lets see how dweeb you can be!


top dweeb choses the plane for febuary.

I'm assuming "top dweeb" can't pick a plane that was just used, i.e. can't pick la7 if you just finished la7?

The La-7 is incredibly good. It's range on internal is also much better than most people believe. If you throttle back to best cruise setting on MAP and RPM it will last a long time. And it is still faster on cruise than a Spit16 is on MIL. That big engine on MIL is just for climb outs, and WEP is just for quick exits and knife fighting.

Make no mistake; the La-7 is the supreme unperked dogfighter in AHII.

Edit: Just made an offline test. The La-7 will do 320 mph on the deck at max cruise settings. That's almost the exact same speed as the Spit16 at MIL. And the La-7 will do it for 41 minutes.

Thank you Bat for filling the skies with even more LALAs :D

They are fun to shoot down as they desperatly try to get away from the fight.

If you are afraid of them they will be all over you cause they really can smell fear (its when you turn your back on them), but if you fly aggressivly against them they will pack up and leave..
