c205 compared to la7

[vorticon]

heres some comparisons of the c205 to the more used la7...the differences dont seem to be very signifigant now do they...here see for yourself and decide










conclusion...you decide (but this does conclusivly prove that your wasting your gas if you use WEP on the la7 above 10k alt)

[Regurge]

Yep, if you disregard the 50mph/500fpm speed/climb advantage theres hardly any difference at all.

Here is a plain and simple conclusion......

Lavochkin La-7 can climb faster, turn harder and go faster than the Macci C.205

allright im insane...gotta get some new glasses

You have officially been branded an idiot.

Thats alot faster then I would have thought the 205 would climb..
But think what a car looks like going by you at 50mph when your standing still. Thats how much deck speed the La7 has on a 205. And it generates that speed advantage increadably quickly.

the P-51D would be a better match-up for Lavochkin La-7

And even then the LA7 owns it at low altitudes, being about 12-15 MPH faster than the 51 and having about a 1000 FPM climbrate advantage while having parity or better in maneuverability.

IMO the LA7 sort of resembles a stripped-down hot-rod...it has incredible performance, but that's ALL it has--it has no range, no A2G capacity, somewhat poor weapons, and can only reach that great performance at a somewhat limited altitude range.

That lack of versatility and combat duration is IMO what keeps the LA7 from being "too good", and probably is why it doesn't see more use than it does.

wetrat your about 10 months to late for that...

and actually when i saw those charts and compared them i was suprised at how much better the 205 is than most people think...notice that the la7's top performance is infact less than 25 mph faster than the 205...wich is very suprising...

i chose the la7 because it is basicly one of the best climbers in the game...its speed is nothing to sniff at either sooo by comparing other planes to it we can get a relativly good on paper testing point for other planes speed and climb rate...

and J_A_B the la7 is the 3rd most widely used plane after the spitfire and the p51 (both of wich get a lot of use right of the bat because they are the most recognized planes from ww2)

Key to the 205 is to approach high, stay high, stay fast.

Any slow la7's or ones with poor SA are not that hard to get.

205 has MUCH better endurance, ammo load, better guns.

So its 50 mph slower on the deck.

I bet at 12k its a tossup, with the d205 able to turn & retain E better at high alts.

The 205 is just a crappy 109-G2 with even worse visibility...

The 205 has a lot better handling at higher speeds than a G-2 and also retains E better in Zooms. The 205 is a good E fighter capable of by-the-book BnZ style. The 109G-2 is not. You need to lose E in dives to maintain maneuverability. The 205 also outguns the G-2 (unless you take Gondolas of course), has a better range and generally a lot more pleasant flight characteristic.
In a 1on1, however, i'd take a G-2 because of it's ability to generate E much quicker.

dover...your the only person i know off the boards that hates me...i talk to much and fly a dweeb plane dont i...thats what causes it...isnt that right
