forgot to mention, lulu...both toon planes will fall out of the toon skies just like any other when you hit them with toon bullets.

P-51, it's can actually fly over 10K. I don't know the specific numberes for each planes so it's hard for me to compare, take a look at the following: http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/wiki/index.php/P-51D & http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/wiki/index.php/La-7

gyrene,

I think he's asking a valid question. Sure he posted it on the wrong section of the forum and his opening post did not have much info in it, but why make fun of someone who is trying to compare two planes? And what makes you think he is talking about cartoon planes? As far as I know P-51 and La-7 did exist.

Lets try to be a little nicer next time  :)

a P51 flow smartly is untouchable  in this game....might not ever get any kills though.......be brave, be bold, be beautiful and stay out of my P51.

Heads up the La7 eats the 51 for lunch, but the 51 is by far the more versatile of the two.

which 51 is that? because i claim a 51 also :aok


The La-5FN and La-7 are very amazing planes below 9k feet. Fast, extremely maneuverable in the right hands, a great punch (if ammo is conserved). But its short range affects its ability.

The 51Bs and 51Ds are also amazing aircraft, VS an La7 in a turn fight, the La can have the upper hand if you keep the fight slow. High speed turnfights (where the Las cant use flaps) the P51s can keep the upper hand. The 51s have much less torque than that of the Lalas but you can still feel it when slow. 51Bs are beautiful at altitudes and the 51Ds are beautiful lower alt although both can be flown in each others forte. 51Ds have a lower high alt peak than the 51Bs though so watch for that above 30k

....er...doesn't that apply to any plane?  Avoid combat and you're untouchable?

in a 1v1, I'd give the edge to the La7.  The acceleration, climb, and better mid and low speed turn give it an advantage.  The La7 is limited to a certain few roles (base defender, fighter, low alt interceptor), while the P51x is far more versatile.

I will take the P51D any day though.  I cant stand the short legs of the Lgay7.

 A decent p51 pilot could beet a La7 with the right defensive first move. If the LA7 didn't run for home after the initial merge. :old:

I think you got the wrong picture, that's a Spitfire.  :cry
