moot,
I have asked this before, and I will ask it again. Please bring forth your analytical data that proves that the AH La-7 is "uber". Please show us how this La-7 outperforms, above and beyond its real-life counterpart.
My whole "pilot" point is that we should aspire, at all times, to become better pilots, and not whine and ask HT to put limiting factors on planes that cause us trouble.
That is the reason why I bring up guys like Lev, Mathman, iceMAW, and there are more. I have never seen these guys cry and whine about any plane and call for it to be perked. I am surprised to see Manx call for it to be perked.
If Lev can fly around in a Spit V, Mathman in an F6F, iceMAW in an FM2/F6F, and be as successful as they are against ANY plane, then there is no reason why you and I can get to that point either. As we move forward to that point, we will die alot, but each encounter adds something to the memory bank and used for education.
I have been at this game for about a year and a-half, and at this stage of the game, I consider myself a good pilot and feel comfortable flying any fighter/attack plane in the stable. I am no where near the level of "great" pilot, but that is what I aspire to, and that is what I work on everytime I play this game.
Everytime we die, it isn't anybody elses or the planes fault that we died. It is all on us, the pilot.
If you are getting killed by La-7s then you have entered into the "kill zone" of the La-7, and its your own fault for being there. This also holds true for any other plane. Fly out of your "zone" and into their "zone" and you will die .. simple as that.
