what fighter do you say is the best?

I love these post.

It is without a doubt the LA-7.  There is so much complaining that gos on about it that it is not even funny but when a post like this gets started there are very few people that will mention it, that is also funny.

Because the La7 isn't the best prop fighter in the game.  It's a good plane no doubt but the best?  Hardly.

Ack-Ack, I know you like the P-38 and I witnessed you doing a great job of evading 2 Spits a couple of weeks ago but if the LA-7 is not the most feared plane then why is it the most complained about.  I like the LA, either version 5 or 7.  It is what a fighter should be as far as I am concerned.

Because all La-7s do is HO, run away for a sector, turn back, HO, run away for a sector, turn back, HO, run away for a sector....

Or my personal favorite: attempt to HO, lose angles, start to run away, turn around when your opponent breaks off to not get suckered in hoping for a cheap shot at the back or another HO if they're onto that trick, lather rinse repeat.

Plus there were all of 200 of the three-cannon birds built, yet while as rare as the PERKED C-hog IRL, the three-cannon La isn't.

The complaint isn't that they're uber, it's that the dweebs flying them never learn how to do more than HO, lawn-dart and ram.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Does the 110 count as a fighter?  After all it does have two engines...


It is a monster in the attack role, but I actually have fun using it as a fighter.  Even though you are 95% of the time the slower plane and the poorer turning plane.  But if you can ever get them in your gunsight  :P

So flying a B-24 in the middle of Germany in 1944 would be less manly than flying a P-51?
Not so sure heheh.

Those that complain about the La7 usually do so out of ignorance.  It's complained about for numerous reasons but the main complaint about them is too many fly them.  Hardly a reason to complain about a plane if you ask me.

I'm not saying the La7 is a bad plane, it's not.  It's a good plane with its strength and weaknesses, just like any other plane.  In the right hands it is a very potent killer but then the same can be said for just about any other fighter in this game.  There are other planes that are more well rounded, like the Tempest and F4U that in my opinion make those the better fighters.

Is the La7 amongst the top fighters?  Yes, definitely.  Is the La7 the top fighter?  No.

Best plane is the one that you can fly the best.  I suck in a P-51, but can kill almost anyone when in a C.205, go figure.

So reality for me is pick a plane you fly well, and learn to fly it, learn its cababilities and its limitations.  Learn the same about the other planes and tack advantage of their weakness.

The main reason they complain about lalas is that when they are done vulch picking, they cannot out run the lala and get their WTFGs :rofl

I would like to see some evidence that you even fly this plane in game.  Or do you just like the plane and never fly it??

Sorry Saxman but this statement is as ignorent as it is broad.  First off LAs do not have the fuel to run that many sectors.   Second off there is the two cannon version.  The only time I will run in a LA is when out of ammo, gas, or to reset the fight against an enemy in a better turning plane that I am losing ground against.

Spits wings get dislocated from their sockets far to easily. I'd pick a Hurri 1 over a Spit 1 any day.

There is little fear from a LA7, they are more of an annoyance, mainly because of the typical people whom fly them.
