Doesn,t matter which arena you go to.

Every arena will have its "uber" planes.

90% of lala's in the MA are easy kills for my pony (and i suck). Falc and a few others will do it some justice but you have to admit though most are newbs...the ones that ask (squeak)"whats the fastest plane" (squeak)?

I haven't "flown" a LA for at least a year and a half so I couldn't tell you how it "handles" but I think I can tell you already that I would like the pony alot more.

Btw....I saw falc land kills in a pony last night (*sniff*).....sry brings a tear to my eyes. :(

It handles pretty good.  Anything you can say about the LALA you can say about the D9, P51, Typhi, K4 etc.  It does handle better than those but the people you are talking about dont use it to turn so it really makes no difference if they are in a lala or not.

My rule is, if base ack is firing, out comes the lala down go the D9s and 51s buzing the field

Perk rides are diff cause at least yer risking somthing, la7s are for noobs & simps. If you fly an la7, in my eyes yer either a noob or a simp-



Who are you to tell anyone what plane is okay to fly or not?  If you were to spend less time caring what others flew and just enjoyed the game, you'd whine and cry less on the BBS.  The problem isn't the game, it's  you.

Er, only?

That's a pretty large percentage considering the number of available rides.

That said, one isn't going to change that. As long as there's been online games of any sort you will have a percentage that need a crutch to compete, and a percentage that want to make the experience more challenging. The prior drive the juiced up rides and the latter putter around in the early war stuff.

"Only" considering all the claims "All you ever see are SpitXVI and La7's"

And there were and always will some planes getting top usage, and it has been MUCH worse in the past before perk system was introduced.

Edit: Fighters and bombers combined, we had last tour:

43 planes with a usage number of less than 1%
25 planes with a usage number between 1-2.9%
7 planes with a usage number between 3-6.6%

Wrong.  It's simple minded thinking like that, that causes people such as Atoon to post whining threads.

Good 51 pilots like bucky and skatsr and matrix have patience that i dont have...too fly it right you need some E and understand the flap system...and be a little balsy if you want to kill better turners...to kill a good 51 pilot you need to be okay with cutting your throttle so your speed wont work aginast you in a stall fight...

the LA7 turns better and has better guns then the 190s and 51s and is often faster in a given situation...i tried the la7 when i was "a newb" and didnt like it...any spit was a better furballer and more stable...but they couldnt catch 51s/190s and they didnt have the ammo to kill flights of buffs and keep going...so the la7 became a better choice for base defense...the funny thing is people dont whine about the la5 and it is only marginally slower and is a better turner then the la7...
