I'll wait till 3rd quarter comes (the debut of AH2) and i will be in MA with at least P4 and a radeon 9500 to get better FPS in 1024x768 32 bit LOL:)

I will rule MA once im in Lavochkin La-7 and kill those spit dweeb-ers and runstang-ers:rolleyes:

Do statements like that really bother you?

You actually care what some computer geek playing a bloody game over the internet thinks about what simulated aircraft you pick to fly in an imaginary pixelated world?

Is so, I truly feel sorry for you. But not about La-7's or anything to do with the game.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

All the whining about La7s made me want to take one up for a spin on the weekend.  I did so, and committed the ultimate dweeb act:   "Curval has landed TWO kills in a La7".;)

It's been many months that I've seen an La7 that was willing to fight, in fact it was the last time I fought you.

LA-7 pilots are generally more willing to fight than anyone else in a fast plane. You just have to give them your 6 to start off and they stick around til they blow up :D

Shane, it isn't that you stick around to fight in the La7, it's  that you actually know how to fly it, so people say "holy crap!  that's Shane in that La7!  Kill him now or we're all dead!"

Hell, you wanna talk about perking planes, I'd perk the 109G-10 before the La7.  That thing is a beast of a plane.

I respect the real La7, I just don't respect the way it is modelled in AH
