How often do you see a really hot stick land any La7 kills? Not too regularly. When they do use them, it is mostly for desperate base defense, not in a dominating air-superiority role.
That monster performer is IMO the only non-perk airplane in the game in which a green pilot can stand a chance against a more experienced stick in certain other airplanes. Don't speak to me of Spit16s, the fact is that almost anything that cannot out-maneuver Spixteens can out-run them. The same cannot be said of Lalas.
A hot stick?
I think a bigger reason the hot sticks dont use 5 eny airplanes is cause its hard to land meaningful perks in them. Plus the LA doesnt have much legs which means they can only vulch for so long in them.
Anything, any other reason please other then "they worry about what others will think regarding what cartoon airplane they fly".
I just really dont want to believe any adult would give a rats arse about what anyone else would think if they upped an LA-7. I mean why would you care?
Ill tellya a funny story. I was defending at a base under attack, by Bish no doubt, where they had a prolonged vulch going on. I finally got up an LA-7 and either thru sheer luck, or desperation, was able to shoot down 5 vulchers, all with tons more alt and speed then I. The surviving vulchers, no doubt "hot sticks" all, landed their 15 kills, all helpless planes on the runway, to thunderous applause from their drones.
I landed my shotup LA-7, "bombrich landed 5 kills", and you know what someone said to me? They said, "we dont give WTGs to LA-7s".
At times, its even more apparent then other times, that this is a kids game.
I dont fly LA-7s much anymore cause I dont want to give these "hit sticks"
easy perks at a vulch. I'll upp an IL-2 instead and face shoot em, and then listen to them rant about how I HO'd them while they were shooting helpless planes on a runway.
