I don't like flying the La-7.   Everyone HO's me when I fly it. I don't know why.

I agree. There's little to choose between the L and the J, other than the J has better skins.... ;)

Murdr and I have dueled in P-38s, with Murdr in a J model and me in the L model. There was virtually no difference in the aircraft and the fight was a literally a draw. Ultimately, fuel weight will make a difference more than any other aircraft related factor.

I beg to challange that statement.  Its all about the bare metal L skins. :D

The L does have its dive flaps but I still think the J is a bit faster.

The F4U-4 out turns the La7 with ease and is only a tick slower. Unless the La7 pilot is considerably better than the F4U-4 pilot, the La7 has no options other than to run, and even then he better already be out of gun range because the gap will grow very slowly.

The only minor faults of the F4U-4 are short internal fuel range and average gun lethality, other than that its hard to beat.

It matters if you use flaps or not. :D

are you sure you don't mean impossible?

im stuck between the -4 hog the tempest, the spit16 for best in game

my personals faves are the :spitv-/ -1a /-1 /-4 hogs/ p51D/

the reasons for the -4 hog are mentiond. the tempest- incredible speed and acceleration, massive firepower and great views for snapshots.
The spit16 seems to roll like a 190, turn like a spit8, catch mustangs, and hold in the vert like a k4. Its deadlly in the right hands.

F4U-4 is the best prop in the game
