Its time to perk the Yak3 and La7

[FBDragon]

I don't care what ya perk, I fly and die in my A8 all the time anyway. Been that way for 10 yrs now lol!!!! 

[save]

I have not killed any Yak3 after the patch, but a solid 1.5sec in an A8 killed all fighters except the Yak3 and all bombers except the B26 at convergence, in the previous patch if you hit the wings on the bombers.

[JunkyII]

There are no bombers in AH anymore?

The conversation is about the Yak3s use which I mean is probably what...90% in furballs...more???

And again...if you are at more then 10K...

Most of my fights started at 30k and I always found a fight.

Don't lie to yourself. Just because you are at 30K doesn't mean the fight was at 30K.

All this yapping. I personally believe the one that truly needs to have  eny changed on is the C47. It is an overused monster in the game. No other plane can do what it does.

Agreed.  First, people want others to get out of halftracks, 88s, manned guns, and into aeroplanes.  Those people get into Yak3s.  Then they want them to get out of Yak3s and into more difficult planes.

It's like being married....

Now imagine your wife in a Yak-3.

Now imagine your wife in a Yak-3.   

Or your ex-wife.

not true. It is based on plane performance ranking 

where is the link for all the airplanes performance ranking?

Funny thing, last night I lurked in the MA to try and observe Yak3 use, combat, VOX and text comments about the Yak3. Everyone was in everything but Yak3 other than a single one I saw actually fighting and he was killed shortly after that. I saw a few taking part in a bish all hands country raid on a field but, all they did was de-ack while late war monsters swamped the local defense fighters. I think Oceania with all the water ways causes players to think range and speed and alt even though I made most of the water ways 19 miles wide.

Because I spent the time focusing on rides it was obvious most players are concerned with cannons(fire power) and speed. Speed is probably what makes the P51D such a good general package and is used so much. After that I saw Dora, spit16, N1K2, G14, F4u-4, Typhoon, P47 and a few FM2\Wildcat. Ki84 were as rare as Yak3 last night. As for La it looked like the 56th traded in their Jugs for La's.

So it may take a different map to really observe the Yak3 in light of my recent testing.

They start at 30k but you need to be showing a bomber icon to get attention.

It's fun watching a p47m dive away 30,000 feet to HQ or City and circle the ack towers as they absorb 20mms from a tu2.

Noobs will have a much worse time fighting groups of La7s, yak3s and spit16s, than they would if those planes were limited by a small ENY perk and they themselves couldn't fly them. I don't see why a small perk cost is even that big of a deal.

This confuses me.  If a small perk cost is not that big of a deal...then why impose a small perk cost...?  And shouldn't it be easier to fight a group of Yak3s if you're in a Yak3 yourself?

Since you didn't read you kind of argued FOR the point you are trying to belittle....since the yak3 is popular and easy...it should have a lower ENY.(Nobody said they wanted them out of Yak3s, just not as rewarded for flying a trainer wheel plane.)

[guncrasher]

i just refused to fight any yak3. damn thing takes more damage than buffs.  if it gets behind me I just bail.
