out ?

I admit, I was guilty of doing once or twice. I was going back to read some of the old topics and replied so it brought those ones back IN so i'll take that blame as well

I've recently only had troubles when i'm fighting 2 planes or more and one is a good turner and the other has plenty of E.  Avoiding the high E plane puts me square in the sights of the slow turner, its frustrating.

When that happens, I prefer to concentrate on the turner. Usually, the plane with most E will try to pick you and will extend 2/3 kilo (if not more) before repeating... that gives you time to try to finish the other one. Of course, you'll have to keep an eye on the E plane and be ready to start evasive action as soon as he's within 1k from you.

That's how I handle that kind of situation. Any other ideas? (provided that you don't want/can't run away, of course )

i fly the la7 alot...but it is not a plane i fear when i run into one no matter what im in....it is not the best turner by far and its speed can be a huge detriment once "it catches you" if you know how to fly...

what is funny (if you read the "i hate the la7" posts carefully) is that the reason many guys dont like it is because they cant outrun it...there ya have it...THEY want to be in the fastest plane and they cant stand other fast planes that can outturn theirs.  

THIS is exactly why i fly the LA7..i LOVE running into a group of uber pilots who run as soon as a coalt/e plane shows up and chasing them down and nailing them to the wall....there is no better plane for it...FWs, P51s, f4u1-Cs etc just cant get away...i.e. YOU HAVE TO KNOW YOUR CAPABILITIES AND HAVE SOME SA.

all this being said...some good SA and tactics (discipline) will allow any decent stick to stay away from faster planes...i flew the 190-a8 last night and landed 12 kills between two consecutive runs...but when faster planes showed up i had to egress if their E was better then mine...and i had to let some kills go bcause turning with them would have bled my E too much...

so everytime i hear/see someone whining about ANY plane...then i know there is an undisciplined pilot and i hope i run into them in the MA...

     It's not the La-7, it's your herd of pals just behind it.  Plus I seem to
remember alot of whining coming from you when a fast guy pops your
cherry, even in a crowd.

The plane I fear the most is the one that runs away. I don't really much care if I get my bellybutton handed to me in a basket, but I LOVE the opportunity to TRY.

Which is why I fly the LA7 alot. Its not because its an 'insta-kill' machine. Its because I can catch dang near anything with it. And one I catch them, the fight is on.

Win or lose, thats what its all about. The fight.

i would like to see what kinda planes do u fear when in a fight.  Lets see im ina fight and see a high la7/ nik, im like uh oh just because its so grr even if flown by a moderate pilot.. Another plane for me is probably the tempest because in the right hands its deadly

you.....

 non, but when I see a high D9 or Temp I know my time will be wasted since they will wait for me to get in to a fight before they come in for the pick

[gpwurzel]

The one I fear most is the one with me in it...lol...not cos i'm going to go on a rampage and shoot loads of people down, but because I'm waiting for the next sod to come shoot me down, or a bush to reach up and grab me, or a mountain to suddenly move and muller me, they do that you know...lol......errrr, maybe...

It cracks me up seeing L.A.P-League of Airacobra pilots in signatures, just as funny as seeing "Flying since Tour XX".  Talk about your lemmings...

I go with the person it in rather then the plane no matter what it is. You can normally tell after first merge whether you have a fight on your hands or not.

As for the C-Hog not being that good. You have to be kidding? It's one of the very best rides in the game. Why do you think it's perked? As for "if Shawk is in it your already dead", nice little self promo for your Co but really if he's flying around in a 4 gun perk ride 1v1 other then Temps he really doesn't have anything else to worry about.

Cracks me up as well, will be interesting to see just how many L.A.P pilots fly it as a sole ride three months out from release. As for "Flying since Tour xx" explains a great deal.

Gixer, we never said we would be flying it "sole Ride" ever talk to a member of the SAPP? isnt the SAPP supposed to be about the passion of flying the 38? that wat the LAP will be, just w/ the 39
