I hate the La7

[waystin2]

The Perk cry was a joke fellas.  It comes down to knowing how to treat an LA-7 when in your ride of choice.  Your strengths against it's weaknesses and you'll have a winning outcome.

...Just kind of being a smartass, but in a P-47D-11, what are these strengths I can exploit again?

I hate every plane that shoots me down. 

Pilots too!

Performance at altitude.

The strengths that come to mind are:

-More firepower than LA-7 with the 8 gun package
-Takes more damage than an LA-7 will accept
-Maneuvers better than an LA-7 at higher altitudes
-Faster than LA-7 at very high altitudes


Can the D-11 outdive the LA-7?

-range
-firepower
-ballistics
-dive
-high altitude performance
-400mph flaps
Otherwise the light Jug isnt that bad of a turnfighter at all.

Too bad that 90% of the fights happen right on the deck in AH

[--)SF----]

They can't turn well at all, just dont run away from them and theres no problem.

Really....

Too true.  Got to fly the D-25 in the last scenario and she is a different animal at 30K.

It's most often my main ride, I've got a bit of touch turnfighting it.

Realistically though, turnfighting an LA7 for me has to end quickly or he's going to gain more E and schwack me.  IMO that matchup co-E pretty much necessitates beating the pilot, not the plane.

Yep.  Get high, and the jugs are a real menace.  There's fights up high in the MA, the guys down in the weeds TnBing just never see them.

I hate it too! It's the damned smog! and all that traffic. Not to mention the fact that everyone's a nutter who would vote for Kim Kardashian as mayor..




Oh La7



...Nevermind.

[Tilt]

Nothing else is as annoyingly dangerous to me as the La7! I hate it!

A very capable  fighter able to make up for (some of) the inadequacies of many a pilit........................ ......... including this one

However it is not the paper, stone and scissors many profess it to be....................

[ink]

Really....   

 

that's what I was thinking...

LA7 is a great turner.....obviously it is no Zero...but it turns great non the less.

Honestly the La7 hasn't been that great of a turner since it was updated. It still turns well, but it's not doing lufberrys with Spitfires anymore. I think a lot of its uber reputation is left over from 'back then'. Now it's just a nicely maneuvering aircraft with three cannons that's fast. I'd put it with the 109K as opposed to the Spitfire Mk 16 anymore.
