Does HTC ever post the data that they used to model these aircraft?
It seems to me the Russians have never told the truth when releasing data on military equipment. The west has always had to get our hands on a real piece of equipment and test it ourselves to get real data.
That brings us to the La-7, I mean, as long as we're talking about how planes fly whether good or bad, I figured I'd rub more salt in the wound.
I'd love to see what data HTC used to model this plane. IMO, it's way way overmodeled and any half baked dweeb flying one can rack up kills. The plane has virtually no weaknesses. I don't believe this plane was ever this good...ever. I was watching Discovery Wings the other night and they profiled this plane, the Russian pilot even said his squad feared the 109 even up until the end of the war because it was a superior aircraft than the La-7. I just smiled.
I understand the fact that HTC is in the business of making money and they need to have a complete dweeb plane so newbees can fly it and get kills, thus not canceling their account. Warbirds did this with the mighty P-38L that could outturn a friggin Zeke. I just think it's a shame that data has to be fudged.
Give us the real La-7 or perc the current La-7, right now it's an overmodeled Russian propaganda dream machine.
