Hmm... didn't you say anybody who flew a "simp" plane was a "simp"?  Are we qualifying that now?  Sucking up because you were out-argued?  Changing your mind?  Ready for a retraction?

The La-7 has a whopping K/D of 1.23 ... a real monster in my book ...

Yep. In K/D ranking, La is currently ranked #17, N1K #19 Spit 16 #28

Tell you what.  You take a lala with its training wheels, I'll take a P40 and we will see how easy the lala is.

I guess the Yak you fly is a slow plane that does not turn well?

All in all, this thread encourages me to start flying the LA7 more often again.

if the la7 was somehow modeled by HTC as a newbie training plane, then i missed that day and announcement...i dont think it is the easiest plane to fly..but i do think it is a tuff plane for vets to fly against....

It is a dogfighting/furballing game!

la7 is one of the easiest planes to kill, I find them to be no problem and a lot easier than yaks and spits and hurri's.   Dweebs that live in them, are just whiney little boys who don't want to learn the advantages of planes which they can't run from a fight in......!  That is my only complaint about la7 dweebs, they like to run, they run almost every time they can't sneak up and gang someone, and they run everytime they get scared, which is constantly!:aok

Just turn to the right.

I agree I've been flying the Yak this tour and I find it's a pretty good plane. I think it easily out turns the LA 7. Lack of ammo doesn't bug me too much because I've also been training myself in the 262 this tour. So I've been getting used to lack of ammo.

as for LA7's I don't like them, not for the planes, but for the guys that fly them. I use a LA7 from time to time  in two situations.  1) when a base has a raid coming in and I need alt fast. 2) If I need to get somewhere fast like trying to save a Vbase or something I'll up a LA7.

The issue I see with the  LA7's is, it's a plane that tends to make people want to HO and run away. It doesn't turn that good IMO so a weak pilot tends to try for the HO's then run away to extend so they can try another HO.

So do the vets that fly them!

I certainly do. It was my first ride in this game and I used it almost exclusively for the first months, so it's still #2 in my all time "kills in" list.

Wrong ... the La-7 turns very well ... it does alot of things well. In the hands of someone who knows what the La-7 can do ... it is an extremely deadly airplane.

But, as we all know, the majority of those that fly the La-7 don't fall into the category I described above ... hence it's an easy kill once they decide to stick around ... hence it's piss poor K/D ratio.

I flew it almost exclusively from Tour 32 thru Tour 40 ... it was a blast. I think it's still my #1 killer too ... don't fly it much since then tho, but still love it when I do fly it.

Alot of actually good and valid points in this thead from both sides of the topic. I have the opposite affection for German planes than Falc does and fly them exclusively in Late War everynight.  Everybody plays differently, and always will.

There's: warwinners,landgrabbers,milkrunners,furballers,scoremongers,historytypesand  just plain old aviation freaks.  We have all kinds.  Who cares what the other guy is flying and why.  I'm a student stick at best and this tour I am currently at 115K to 12d and NONE of my rides made THE LIST.

The man makes the machine...Fight the man.  .

yup I guess so but you spend your time 10k above the fight and are a runner and a ganger.  please don't get all chest puffy as you are a timid player at best.
