Or unperk all other planes but the 262.

Flying around in a Tempest, f4u or Ta152 an LA7 comes along and catches you (almost tempest atleast) you realize, "Dang! I pay for mine".

Apart from the cannons I've always found the La7 very similar to the Tempest. It's a tough little bugger and a fast one at that and I quite agree that it should be perked.

Basically agreed, but IMHO its not needed to be perked, should have lower ENV points, around 5.
Why n1k and spit9 have 10 env or so and 15 for la7?It's hard to see, at least for me.

I agree, perk the LA-7!

Lowering the ENY wouldn't do much difference I think, it's a perk plain without perks as it is, fly it and you have no need for perks except the 262.

If you keep perking those high end planes I will run out of targets for my hurricane I. Please do not.

Am I the only person here who likes their opponents to be in good planes?

I agree.

Yes!

La7

Pros:
-Can out run any non-perk plane
-Can catch up to most prop-perk planes on the Deck
-If the plane isnt know for turning (like the spit and niki is know for turning) the la7 will out turn it
-3 of the most deadlist 20mm's IMO
-Fast Accel
-Rolls decent
-Has the armor of a pazner

Cons:
-Compresses easy

Not too many cons that i can find for the la7

You can do better than that.

-Small ammo load
-Need to close under 300yds for ammo to be effective
-Can't run anything down over 10K

There are more, but then I won't spoil the fun. Better perk the Yak while your at it, I have problems killing them in an LA7

It does? Doesnt look like it to me.

Well, as long as the TA152 has got wep it climbs about 300-400 feet better at 20k, without wep it climbs slower.
