One question, I dont care if the LA7 is perked or not but why perk the F4U-4?  The LA 7 and a handfull of other planes beat it in most categories.

Because at least 1 US plane has to be perked (for other reasons except uber guns).

Oh, and according to innominates alltime-stats I never died in one, for me it has the best k/d except gunner and chute.

Though I didn't fly it often enough to make it statistically significant.

Perks costs aren't based on rarity or availability of the plane in real life but rather on game balance.  A plane that has been deemed to have a negative effect on game balance it wasn't perked are the ones that have been perked.

La7 is really not that big of a deal. Want to avoid em? stay high, or put a fast mover together with a turner.Spit 9  and p51 team tatics are DEADLY to la7's.

It does not have the guns, the duration, ord carrying ablity, or performance at altitude to be worth perking.

Plus it has a NASTY slow speed snap stall.

On top of all of these, its NOT the plane, its the pilot.

Get a grip people.

Cool up here in North Dakota this week, flame on dweebs. I can use some heat.

Leave the Lala alone, it's not that bad. Perk the Runstang and run90 for being so fast, and perk the Spit for beeing a UFO.
