No, it has no range to fly anywhere (without fuel management.) Also at altitudes of 22k and up the plane just (sorta) sucks.

fixed for ya.  :noid  :aok  :bolt:

Regarless, the LA7 is so fast that if in any plane it will chase you down and kill you,

I'll step up and say... yeah, it'll eventually run just about anything down, but you'd be surprised how long it actually takes vs it's contemporaries - often long enough for help to arrive or make it back to friendly AA.

He is young to the game as of yet and this is just a "Warm Up Whine". Wait untill he meets a stick who really can fly the La7 around about the time he feels his ACM is rockin hot and starts standing his ground.

The day an La7 can beat any of the 3 planes mentioned above in a 1vs1 let me know.
The La7 sucks...period.

I have noticed that too many peeps fly the LA7, and it is a great plane. However, should it not be perked? Its fast, manuverable and yet the Spit Mk14 and the F4UC and F4U-4 are perked, and they are nearly not as much of a plane as the over-modeled LA7.

PLEASE PERK THE LA7 to at least 15 points!

Yet, it sucks on a dive as i had a few chase me to met the ground.  They can not pull out of the dive as easy as i can in the Jug.

The hogs are easy mode but the Spit 14 isn't really an issue for the La.

No, it has no range to fly anywhere. Also at altitudes of 13k and up the plane just sucks.

Ever notice the La7's best altitude for speed is 20,000ft???  Suckage is not a word to use with the La7 until you reach 27k and up, it does not have the wings to keep it afloat up that high.  It is a bomber interceptor first and foremost, and I think it does that role very well in terms of speed, climb, and firepower.  What else can match it?

The fact that people use the La7 as a boom-n-zoom-n-run mobile is the issue.  The 8 ENY is not representative to its abilities. Oh, and the 50kg bombs are quite nice to have vs the lighter skins gv's.  Try it sometime.

Most pilots who fly la's fly it wide open no throttle work at all, burn all the fuel and makes them very easy to force an overshoot.

Only plane I will complain about is a brewster

You have not lived until a hoard of Brewsters hands you your shorts. It's like getting swarmed by a cloud of deer flys in July.

Only people who have a clue how to fly a plane in this game are going to be the only people who will make the LA leathal. New guys flying it make easy kills.
