Because the most dangerous plane in the MA is the typhoon . And nobody ever whines about it .
strange.

:rolleyes: :)
Atleast with the tiffy, if he tries to run after a blown merge, there are more than a handful of planes that can catch it.
When lala runs...forget about it.
-
Maybe because more experienced people fly the Typh and understand how to use it better.. I for one fly it alot, but I've been playing for quite a while..
Plus I dont see nearly the numbers of Typhs as I do those pesky LA7's
-
Yah...La7's can run....but, Tiffy's can kill. The only La7 that I'm bothered is the one that can shoot. If you hit some one with a Tiff.....they stay hit. :)
-
because the la7 is better then the typhoon in every aspect except guns...
-
You know, now that I think of it, I don't think I've ever been dweebishly HOed by a Typh driver.. Quite the contrary regarding the people that fly the LA7
-
Like Tails says, good luck trying to catch a Lala. Pretty much impossible if you're not in a D-9, Typhoon, or a same Lala. At least Typhs can be caught if he runs dry of WEP during the next 5 mins.
Also, like Flyboy says, the La-7 is so much easier to handle that more sucky pilots fly it - hence, more mistakes made, more opportunities to slap it silly.
However, Typh pilots are usually the most timid of the timid. Excellent SA.. very cautious and edgy.. not exactly the fun type to be around, and not easily caught, unless you plan an ambush, and jump him with a La-7 or a D-9 with alt advantage.
Dangerous? Oh yes, the Typhs are more dangerous. But only because the average Typh pilot is so much more dangerous than the typical Lala pilot.
-
OK, one more time:
LA7s are hated because they DO NOT allow people to land their vulches. Vulch vulch vulch in a Tiffy, F4U1-C, etc and once you try to RTB you will get away from anything but that one lala that escaped. No WTFGs fo u :lol
The rest is BS. The running plane of choice is the D9
-
>>You know, now that I think of it, I don't think I've ever been dweebishly HOed by a Typh driver.. <<
I have, and for many of them, the HO seems to be their move of choice. Makes sense though too, it's not nimble or manueverable enough to do much acm, and it's 4 cannons are a tough package to deal with. To avoid, just fear their frontal area.
Now the lala, all too many will do the HO as a matter of choice (before they run). But, when they run it is possible to catch them in a Yak on the deck.

The Typh is very nimble and capable of doing acm, you just gotta know how to use it.. You also gotta know when not to engage, just like any other plane.

Nothing wrong with the lala some people run some don't u all hate it because it has speed and has 20mm lol
Loves tiffy too:eek:

Do you have money growing on trees in your backyard?

I thought the La7 was faster accelerating and a better turner than the Typhoon?

You think well.

i'm curious, how's the gameplay in other galaxies?
should i think about moving there?
-
How do i get on your ignore list JB?..
-
Found the answer to a running Lala if your in a Tiffy.
Do a 180 climb showing him your ass, he'll turn and inevitably will attempt a ho.
As for a Tiffy being being the most dangerous aircraft in the game - NO WAY
Only thing it has goin for it is its guns:
Turns/rolls like a dump truck.
Dumps e faster than Martha Stewart dumping stocks.
Moderate acceleration.
Was supposed to have an excellent zoom climb, not in AH2 though.
-
A typie cant go from 0k to 9k straight up. I fly typie %70 of the time and i fear no lala driver its just the fact that i can be looking down at many cons choosing my next target and a lala come up from the deck and blast me from my blind side. Its not the factor that a lala driver is bad its that the lala driver thats good make me mad. Run you turn and he turns for your six you turn repeat. Their is one know squad that fly's the lala like this and you can tell that they all use the same teacher. Tempest is god for a lala! But only by 5mph and wep.
-
Its not the plane, its the dweeb :rolleyes:
I had Spit Is comming HO with my 110. You can imagine 200 a few seconds latter :lol
-
Properly flown, the Tyffie is as dangerous as anything in the game. Anything you can do in a La-7 can be done in a Tyffie if you know how, and then some. Every plane has its tricks, and the Tyffie has its own.
Even a dump truck is dangerous with 4x20mm Hispanos and a driver than knows how to drive.

you know... i used to think "that guy is stupid to HO my 110 in his spit"
untill i lost so many i can't count.
i used to take the 110 up when i was PO'd at CV planes and ho them all LOL
i guess i really can't shoot when at D400 HO a spit popcorns me, and i dont land a hit with those 6 cannons in the 110
i gave that up a looooong time ago.
-
Lalas are often just fodder, and get chewed up nicely ;)
Unless it's Shane, of course :D
Anyway, seriously, as almost any plane in AHII, the La is a dangerous opponent in the hands of a pro, and to top that, you can't run from it at low alt.
In the long run, yes, for it has short legs.
My favourite La killers is the P51B, the 109G2 and the Yak.
The death of the La would be a clipped and boosted Spit IX....

Uh JB, things are perfectly fine in my galaxy :) I did not post that originally, I quoted it in my posted response to Nuke33 :)...
and no, you cannot move here;) there is only enough room for one...me :D It's a great place, right next to the Big Rock Candy Mountain :aok
-
let's not forget about the LA-5 for killing L-gay-7's. Has similar speed and acceleration and better manuvering. But only has two 20 mils that you need to get close with.
Also, a typhoon driver that knows the plane is not going to go for the HO because of the fragile raidiator it has, one ping and you are down unless a friendly base is REAL close by.
-
oh my bad lol
nuke33, how's your star system then? ; )
didn't know AH had franchises on other planets ; )
-
any half decent pilot will not go for the HO on merge move.
its the most idiotic move you could possibly do.
it puts your chances of winning the fight at 50% no matter what the other guy flys OR whats his skill level.
the only reason i can think of to justify a HO move is if you are completely sure that your chances of winning the fight is below half.
frankly the current state of the MA is quite depressing. not because i get killed by HOs, i dont- i can manuver myself in such a way that not only i will avoid the HO i will allso shoot down the HO dweeb in less then 15 seconds after the merge.
what depresses me is that the averege MA pilot doesnt know any better

Its a very nice binary star system.. Lots of nebulae in the night sky, palm trees and white sand beaches.. you should come join me..
But really, I dont get into very many Dweebish merges with typhs like I do with LA7's.. Its VERY few and far between if a typh driver wants to HO, and then i always duck outta the way.. I know better.. :aok

Sorry -
1) Tiffy accelerates no way near as fast as a Lala.
2) Lala outurns a Tiffy.
3) Equal e Lala out climbs a Tiff because of its acceleration and the fact a Tiffs e retention is horrible.
So I disagree you can't do everything in a Tiff you can do in a Lala. Maybe I should qualify, yes you can, but usually the everything is not as good.

Flyboy this is tru if that person does fight. If he ho and keeps on going out for 2k and turns i dont care he can keep on doing that forever. Its funny when people say that they can shoot down a hoing lala but the real fact is if that lala pilot runs for 2k their is not a reversal in the world that you can do to give you a shot. BTW a tpie can turn with a lala if you know what your doing and if its a tru lala pilot.
-
yup, if the other guy just extend after the HO theres nothing i can do.
except taunt him on chan 200 :p

straffo, it depends on the speed. Typh is problably the best turner at hi speeds (> 300mph), La7 is only averagely good. At low speed (> 200 mph) I would still bet for the typh. At stall speeds La7 will probably end winning. Point is that most La7 you'll find are really light on fuel and they outturn almost anything.

But he could do that in a F4U, Spit, 51, 190, 109, 205, NIK, etc.
This thread is following the same patern. Half the people complaining about the lala being so good that really your only option is to bail, while the other half is braging how easy it is to kill.
I have killed many Tiffies in a lala and have been shot down by them as many or more times. What does that mean you ask? hmmm, that unknown variable called a pilit maybe :D

So your a lala driver thats not a problem, what we are saying that a typie takes skill to drive. Because of this factor you see better sticks in the typie than you see in the lala. This could make the typie look like a more powerfull aircraft but in the end it isnt its the driver.
-
ya, i was being general, alot of players do what i described regardless to the plane they fly.
as for tiffi\ La7
i think Kweassa described it very good.
tiffi pilots are the worst, not in terms of skill, but in terms of flying style, i just despise the way some of them play this game. all they care about is landing kills, they will never engage unless they have an advantage, they will avoid a 1 vrs. 1 like a plague, they couldnt care less about the fight itself. or to sun it, they just fly the complete opposite style then my own.
i must confess that if it was real life and i had a big ugly thug holding a gun to my head and telling me he will kill me if ill get shot down. that is the exact way i would play the game.
but i guess everyone gets his fun in his own way, and i cant force anyone to play the way i want.
and now for the La7.
this plane IS the best plane in the game, period. its just ridiculously good over any other plane. a close second is the P51d.
i myself desided i will not fly that plane at all in the MA, and you can check me on it
:)
so to sum things up: the La7 is way batter then the tiffi, but the tiffi pilots are the most annoying :D
Flame away
-
Well Flyboy, I thought long and hard before replying to that -
Considering the Tiffies can be caught by at least 4 planes in this game on the deck the option for running is usually limited if in a big furball.
Theres always someone else arriving higher and faster than you are.
Given the choice the majority of pilots prefer to engage with an advantage, even if only slight.
Can't remember the last time I found a 1 v 1 in the MA unless it was a lone porker inbound to a field.
Despise - If you look around the MA you'll see a lot more of what you 'despise' in the P51s/190D9/La7/109G10 aircraft types, MORE than any other. Coincidently prob the fastest (free) 4 in the game.
Get even close to most of them they hit the deck and run.
Only in AH2 could people consider the Tiffy a good dogfighter, when actually in WW2 it was considered a failure and relegated to ground attack.

Agree 100%. I would further submit that if the only Tiffie pilots you are encountering are such timid ninnies as you describe (Flyboy and Kweassa), either:
A) They are just as new as the runaway La-7 drivers
B) They got word of who you are and are so scared of your uberness they pee themselves and have trouble with the controls.

Well, yes that may be true Kev, but we fly em as they model em. Or perhaps its just that we are willing to take more risks with them here, where "death" is something we can experience hundreds of times a day if necessary. Quotes from pilots who flew the Typhoon loved it. And it was used with great effectiveness chasing down Focke Wulfs, not just attacking ground targets (even if that is where it got its greatest fame).

True StarOf Africa -
Plus they weren't likely to run into an enemy Lala or P51.
Also by the time they were used extensively in ground attack allies had virtual air superiority.
Unfortuneately with the RAF unbalanced planeset (i.e only 1942 and earlier are free) its the best one for 'trying' to catch the late war stuff.

Actually, the most usually encountered Typhs are pretty decent and good pilots. They'e the ones encountered when you are flying around your home base and try to fend off enemy "grunts"(low skill, low flying, Napoleonic infantry-ish, charge-and-drop-like-flies groups of fighter pilots...), score loads of enemy kills, and then suddenly comes smacking you from above with quad-Hizookas.
You see the system message and think, "oh.. it's him and his Typh.. again.. ".
So you get up from the next field, and plan an ambush, thinking "he's not gonna land those kills" and approach.
Except the moment they see your icon from 6.0k out, they turn around, and run to home full speed, and then land the kills. You may be able to run him down, but it's gonna take like 5~7 minutes to outpace a full speed Typh. You're never gonna catch him before he reaches the safety of his home base.
La-7 pilots are different. The good ones do fly in the above manner, but most of them just jump into enemy field full speed, make high-G turns and reversals, blow all the E they have, and then get caught by your own La-7s in the vicinity. (Ofcourse, when your team doesn't have a La-7 nearby, sometimes that La-7 can do all that stupid stuff, and still manage to get home in one piece...)

What SA2 described happenend between 1942 and D-Day.
And during this period there was not a lot of P51D and La7 flying over the english coast.
Especially to do low level Jabo for the luftwaffe.
The typhoon was the scourge of the german Jabos during this period.
If AH was more realist the typhoon and the mossie would be more deadly than they are.
I've demonstred the impact of the [expletive] fuel mutiplier [expletive again] on the typhoon.

La7 is more effective than just about any of the perked planes yet remains unperked?
Put a 2pt perk on it and you'd never see it.
As far as timid Tiff's goes...well the 500 odd people I killed last tour were too surprised to think I was timid.

I think all mid and late war planes should be perked just to even the balance in the way planes are used. Or how about this idea, planes can be used by rank. certain rank will allow u to use late war planes. mid war be at another rank. and so on. At least after every month reset on scores and rank everyone has to fly 1941-42 era planes until the ranks are set.
Late war planes: 300 or less rank.
mid war planes: 1000 to 300.
early war planes: no rank required.
-
The thing is there will ALWAYS be whinage about "the best plane" because there will always be one. There will always be a plane that is fastest or has biggest gun.
Perk the LaLa and the whinage will move down one step in the food chain.

BS. A tiffy may take more skill to drive than a lala (not sure about that) but that DOES NOT mean that the better sticks fly it. Most of the time it's used by HO, run, and vulch tards. Some of the most timid pilots I have ever met in the MA were in Tiffys. And no, I am not saying that all the tiffy pilots are bad.
Its like saing that becaue someone flies a SpitV he sucks and since I have flown the p40 for a couple of tours, I must be really good (not true).
Edit:
Never mind, just checked your stats. I see why you think what you think, lol
-
I hate fighting la7's in my typhoon, they have an advantage in every aspect of ah11 game play except the guns, and this is nulified by my unwilingness to HO.
Plus not all typhoon pilots are timid its just knowing what situation you should or should not be in, like being below an la7 is almost suicide if he knows your there and no-one is there to clear your six.
I fly the typhoon because i find that gunnery is my best attribute on the game and the typhoon suites my abilities. Since flying the typhoon as my main ride my k/d, k/s have all increased it also improves your situational awarness.
If only p51d had 4x20mm's:eek: i would not fly anything else. I find its basically a typhoon with better speed, climb rate, and turning abilities and range i just dont kill enough in them :(

I can outturn Spits at times with the La7. IMO, if you CAN'T outturn a typhie in a La7, you shouldn't be flying the La7.
Folks, I'll say this ONE MORE TIME "The La7 is one the BEST TURNFIGHTERS IN THE GAME". " :lol, :aok, :rolleyes: & :rofl " all you want, it is.

Maybe if this was turned around it might work....then the better a guy gets in his LA7....the less he gets to fly it ;)

So the score potatos get to ride the uber late war monsters while the noobs are stuck in the inferior early war planes.
Do you see how this logic is flawed and not a money maker for HTC ?
-
most of your good pilots don't fly la7's, they don't need to. I am 1 of them. I fly the tiff 90% of the time. I flew the la7 1 time in my whole AH career. I thought the lala was to easy to kill people with. Takes hardly any skill. Try turn fightin a tiffy with lala's and spitty's and even 109's like I do. That a challenge. la7 is not.
-

You do realize that you just refuted your own idea, right? If the good pilots don't need to fly La7s, then who needs to fly them? That's right... the average and poorer pilots need to fly them. Why should the "good" pilots then be the only ones allowed to use them? Why would HTC limit the use of a plane like the La7 to people who neither need nor desire to use them?
I'm sorry, but this is a stillborn idea.

I like the La7. I fly it alot. I also am not that good.
-
i totally suck in the la7, but i can't resist flying it... i hate it when tiffy's try to TNB with me.
tiffy's also run very fast, very hard to catch before they make it back to safety of base acks.
-
this thread does me good, i didnt realize people who flew typhys and la7 actually fought. :(
-
la7 pilots are normaly newbies however they still know that they have the fastest plane in the world and there best way to "fight" is to hit X and autolevel.
THATS why i hate it
but...
because of that fact i myself have started to fly it, so i can chase the *******s down.
however, landing 6 kills in a 190a5 or a 109f4 is must more fun than landing 6 in a la7....because you had to work for it.
PERK IT. 2 perks would do. same with all the top used planes.... just 1 or 2 perks. most vets have 10000s anyway

Would never happen Overlag.
HT will never perk the 190D9, La7 and Pony - Imagine all the whines.
May as well face the facts, we're stuck with them, like it or not.
Interesting tonight, once the ENV kicked in the Knits forced into the earlier war stuff, it was funny to see them floundering around.
Wouldn't really mind any of the top 4 free, IF the RAF had a post 1942 FREE plane to compete, but no.

i really dont know why 2 perks would be a problem. But then if these people are ONLY flying La7's they probably only get 1 perk per sortie anyway. and thats where the problem starts i guess. However me flying early war planes i get 10-30 perks per sortie.....
the only good thing i really use the la7 for is for base defence, with a "semi" vulch on. Once up, stay low, get that speed up then come back to the base and proper annoy those vulchers ;)

Hey, wana show me how to turn fight a Tiffy with a SpitV?
Now, how exactly is a Tiffy different than a LALA? Hmmm, lets see.
:confused:
I got it, the lala is faster than the Tiffy. Wait a minute, that means the Tiffy that the uber pilits are flying will not be able to make it back to ack teritory on time. CHITTT, perk the lala perk the lala :rolleyes:

Could argue that one of HT's reasons for perking planes is to prevent overusage.
Kinda think the Lala fits in nicely in that category, it's overused and generally abused lol.

Lets say that that is true. Once perked, we would have a new plane being overused. Then we would perk that and a new plane would become over used. tHen we will perk that . . . . . Where is it going to stop?
Pluss, lalas and KI84s are the best base diffence. They can get off the runway in a few seconds but the lala can run away and look for the goons. Who is going to try and deffend with a perked ride?
I really don't understand what the problem is. There is always going to be a plane that is the best in something. And I don't buy that the lala is one of the best turners in the game. I think when someone dies to a lala they always attribute that to the plane and not the pilot. If you were in SpitV and died in a turnfight to a lala, it was not because the lala was a good turner :aok
