meh.

marginal cannons (compared to other "cannon birds"), short range, average (at best) low speed handling, poor high altitude performance.

This is true, but on the other hand it def got nerfed a bit a few patches back compared to when I started in AH in terms of slow speed handling ( has a wierd wing drop stall now thats tough to get out of without alt )  Still a great fighter tho...8 Eny suits it well.

I don't think eny of 5 would be inappropriate, but perked? Then one must also perk the Spixteen, D pony, etc etc etc

Like I said.. poor range, marginal cannons (regardless of ammo capacity), poor high alt performance, etc..

It has lots of strengths, true, but it not without faults...... if it came with drop tanks and cannons with a little better ballistics the YEH it might deserve perks.

I am 100% ok with perking the spixteen the d I'm not entirely in agreement with

No, I wasn't intending it that way.

Enlighten me, sir, as to why my impressions are not accurate....

post script:  I said "impressions" - as in, based on my time flying this plane compared to others in this game. I do not claim to be an authority on all details LA-7 or any other plane for that matter.... just plain old "seat of the pant" opinions on my part.....

LA~7     great bird, should be in the 5 range or even a small perk,  I still think every plane should be perked:-) Oak I dont think many vets fly it, if they did you would see it differently LA7 will eat any 47, except over 10K were it just goes down hill......one of the best low altitude fighters of the intire war. ~if not the best, from what ive read.    great for comming into a hourd trying to take a base, and disrupting there day :-)      if ya up from the nearest base, drop your RPM's  and still can do 300mph get ya there fast,  have enough fuel to wreck havoc, kill all there goons.....lol     once you get the guns down that is, many dont realize how deadly it is they use it as a BnZer almost exclusivly, put it in the hands of someone who knows it......look out that thing is wicked

Most of the time i fight them is 15-20K.  When i am on the deck, i do make it hard for them to kill me.  I really do not know who the vets are in the La-7.
