LA-7 this thing rocks!!!

[poppysead]

LA-7 the roll rate only gets better at hi speed, climbs like a rocket, ok turning radius, and the thing has 3 cannon,,,, it can boom and zoom and twist it up with later war american,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ever wonder why everyone and his brother is in one,? nuff said.

Perk It

Forgot to mention one thing- Its guns cant hit anything because they have such poor trajectory.  Also, LA7 has only 28 minutes endurance!

[poppysead]

trajectory sprajectory how many times have you been shot down by one??? and as for the 25 minute thing, the thing climbs so fast and is so bad that i rarely have any ammo left by the time my fuel is out.

My tonka toy is bigger an badder then your tonka toy!

Strange, but I can't find any score at all for a poppysead.

Leave the trolls under the bridge.

Almost never shot down by La-7..... I fly it some, score well against the distracted, napping, typing or otherwise oblivious enemies. However, if they see you coming, avoiding you is easy. You can turnfight well at 250- 300 mph, but get it slower than that and you are flying an average aircraft. Keep it fast, work it up and down and you will lose very few. However, you won't get many kills unless you fly in real close. Guns are powerful, but woefully inaccurate. Poor elevator authority at high speed. I see La-7s auger in quite frequently, and have suffered his myself.

La-7 is the best plane in the set, in my opinion.  If you are an above average pilot with a brain, the La-7 is as close to invincible as you can get.  Plus, it is the only plane to fly if you feel the need to defend one of your bases against a 'mission'.

Been flying it lately because I'm sick of getting gang-raped in 190A's and 109E and F- I can generally get 5-6 kills on 3/4 tank of gas.  Ammo is not a limiting factor here, I typically RTB with 150 rounds or so left.

Excuse me, is there a user in here that gets his rocks off by checking the scores of the people that write in and then exposing them for knowing nothing??? I guess there is. look here party boy Im running a 56k modem so until about 12:00 am, im target practice for other fighters so I run bombers mostly, but I bet in my short life of 23 years i've become pretty knowledgable when it comes to ww2 aircraft so dont be so damn rude. if your so intrested in my score my name online is paladintank and my score is abismal.   Oh and about getting but raped in 190's i feel your pain seems like everytime I think im high enough to be emune some U.S. drives me down to the deck and im stuck trying to do scissor,s is there anyway to shake chasing aircraft in 190? i've tried and failed a wholeee bunch.

poppy, all a 190 has to do is dive away, do a zoom climb and dive again. Nothing can follow such a manouver, not even a pony.

Think "sine wave" when you trying to evade in a 190.

P51D outzooms a 190D and has better maneuverability in high speeds. "Outzooms" maybe I should say, guess they're pretty much the same when it comes to that, just the freaking sissyfires that outzooms F16's.

As for 56k modem poppy, doesn't matter really, you can get as good, if not better connection using a 56k modem, I've been there and stayed there for about 6 years before finally getting ADSL less then a year ago.

Do this, make a new connection, go into setup for the modem for that connection, turn down the speed to 19.2 baud rate, then remove "error control" and "Compression" (just un-check the boxes).

Then connect with that connection and go online in AH. Don't use it to surf the internet though.

Thanx man thats probably the second most helpful thing i've read in here.

[MANDOBLE]

About zooming or being outzoomed, keep in mind than while in a 190, you'll see P51s outzooming you over'n over, but not cause the plane itself, but cause they will be probably with 50% or less fuel while you have 75 or 100%. In the other hand, La7 will outzoom you even with 100% with ease.

[Wilbus]

Rgr Mando, but 50% in a P51 is more or less equal to 75% or more in 190.
