Why anyone may think of perking la7, when 262 is not perked? I do not undestand it.

95% of the people who fly them would just move onto something else like a pony or dora and still do the same thing... suck and run.

it's the pilot, not the plane.


Hey, I resemble that remark. I fly the pee51. I may suck, but I never run! (i just extend very far):D

I don’t see any reason to perk the La-7. I simply don’t find them to be a problem. Yeah, they are fast, reasonably maneuverable and absorb damage well. Sure, they are dangerous if you have poor SA. The fact remains that most of the guys flying it do so because its speed improves survival. There are a few who know how to use it and are very successful. However. Most don’t and aren’t especially successful. I have no problem dealing with them flying the Typhoon, P-47 or F6F, which have been my primary rides his tour.

Hijack.

10 perks is fine... you can earn that back in one sortie if ya lose one.  The F4U-1C has been neutered enough with the perking, it's the ENY that bugs me.  That needs to be raised a bit.

No need to perk it or any of the other rides.  Perk system working just fine.  Would like to see 152 unperked though.

Hmmm…  If a remark about the wholesome goodness that is cheese is reason for not posting I would think this would be even too thin skinned for the new politically correct BBS.

However, my remark on liking or disliking cheese has about as much weight as asking the community to vote on a subject that has been whined about to some length.    And after it is all said and done we have no voice in the matter anyway.  

Most perk discussions come from not wanting someone else to fly an aircraft you don’t like or "see" too much of.  Fly what you want and don’t worry about the other guy.

No need to perk it, really.  It attracts noobs and people who are never going to develop any skills.  Only LA7 I've ever run into that wasn't an easy kill is kbman.. the rest or just fodder.
