Frenchy, nah.

yer a P-47 pilot. P-47 pilots are of the same breed as 190A8 pilots.

We're used to being the slowest accelerating, slowest turning, worst climbing fat pigs in the air.

Of course, we rely on pilot skill and teamowrk, instead of fancy gadgets. Eat yer hearts out, dweebs  

Just another target

 Outstanding! And the front end geometry looks much more round! Big high five!

I can't see this as a perk at all.

A summer of 1944 prop plane perked? Give me a break.

It will be quite popular in the arena, of course, but not any more than the CHog or Niki, I believe.

[funked]

Torgo they are also talking about perking a January 1944 plane (Spitfire 14) and a Fall 1944 plane (Fw 190D-9)...

[Gorf]

KICKASS!!!!!

ENOUGH SAID!

[TheWobble]

I ALMOST agree with Torgo, aside from being fast and having most the other things the LA-5 had its just got some more gunnage.

[Westy]

I don't recall anyone from HTC saying the LA7 is a perkplane.

 Didn't they say there were two perk planes coming along with four variations of existing aircraft?

 Well the Tempest we know will be a perk and so wil the Blitz.

 Please refer to your source(s) when making accusations, such as the LA7 being a perk plane.

(and I'm not saying it won't be. I am saying that I've seen no indication from HTC that it will be)

Gabby never flew the M.  His last ride was a D-25.  I sure hope we get an M in 1.06, but it should have the right camo: all black for 61st FS, grey disruptive camo for 62nd, or (my pref) 2 tone blue camo for 63rd FS.

You said it Frenchy, yet another faster plane that turns better.    How was the La7 above 20k?

Westy,

I was referring to people in the AH community calling it a perk plane...(including some higher in this thread)

I'm fully aware HTC hasn't said word one about the La-7 being perked.

This illustrates what a crude too perks ALONE are. No matter how cheap a perk is, there's still a wide gulf between a perk and a non-perk.

It just illustrates how much better an RPS is, in combination with the use of perk points.

Well, if it's four variants..I could easily see the La-7, Dora, Spit XIV (I don't believe HTC has said anything specific mentioning IT as a possible perk either) and something else as the variants...

Wonder what that could be?

[Zigrat]

la7,190d9,spit XIV,p-51d,f4u-4, f4u-1c, p-47m, 109g10, n1k2 all should be low cost (under 50 perk points) perks imo

the spit IX/190a/109g6/p47d/p38j/ki-61/ etcera should be the non perks imo  


but as so often stated my openion is not the only opinion

[leonid]

Guys, don't worry, the La-7 is only marginally better than the La-5FN.  The only reason the Soviets made it was in response to the gunsight being limited by the intake on top of the nose...

Haha, I will stick with my La-5FN thank you very much!

Just to be different  

PS: how did the changes from La-5 to La-7 change the manouverability?
