short and to the point. I like it.

A+ whine.
Efficient and effective. I like it.
La7's are easy to defeat. Just take away the HO option and be amused with the ensuing confusion.

At least you kept it short and sweet! A true whiner would have wrote a freaking novel.:aok

I hate the fact that the tard humpers in LALA's can climb 6k off the deck just after taking off. Makes it tough sometimes trying to keep a good vulch going.
-
Why do you hate them?
-
I'm not gonna dis the guy, because it is a valid "hate".
It wouldn't be a problem if every HOdweeb on the planet didnt take one up.
Saturday, we knights were driving rooks off our homeland and at one base I counted at least 12 LA7's, and no other types of planes.
It's EASY killing LA's if it;s a 1v1....
But get jumped by 8-10 of them and you can understand why the original poster hates them.
LA7 SCREAMS "I'm not here to fight...I'm here to try and HO you and then run away like a fruitcake."

So if he were to get jumped by 8-10 P-40Es or 8-10 Spit Is, would hate them too ?
If you get jumped by 8-10 of anything ... you will not survive.

Well maybe if you Are flying a LALA you might have a chance if you run like a school girl.

Seems perfectly logical to me. There is no better plane to defensively fight off the ensuing horde.
It's unmatched when it comes to base "defense" ... gets off the runway quick ... gets up to fighting speed quick ... and can run down most of the wussys that are there only for the vulch.

I think he meant the typical LALA pilot..
Maybe 90% of the LA pilots out there do nothing but head straight for you, and blast away, no lead turn, no ACM what so ever, just point the nose and go.. If you get the advantage on them, they run... I mean extend, turn around, rinse and repeat.

lala's are ez killin cause 99% of em are newbs:aok

I am pretty sure he said LA and not pilot :D
BTW, 90% of the MA does what you say and they are not all in LAs. I had P40s try to HO my 110 sometimes :rofl

Best statement that decribes average LA7 pilots in the MA... bravo sir :aok .

i like geting rid of there most likeily way of escape i an run them down in my temest

I love it when you saddle up on a lala in a pony/dora/tiffie/tempest, they remind me of that Nat Geo vidoe where the lions get p****d at the hyena's and decide to take one out. It runs but it knows it's already dead.
That and the low alt split-S make for great amusement (you know where the lala tries to take a shortcut to china).

I believe the best point made here is encounters with an LA7, generally speaking provide the least enjoyment to a large proportion of the playerbase. Rare is it when one has the opportunity to meet a LA7 1 on 1, co-e and have a good fight of it. There are plenty people who fly the LA7 who are capable of providing this, but they are largely in the minority.
Most of the time you're going to get a HO, a runner, a collision. or get picked while already engaged in a good fight.
Now that is not to say that you don't have these problems with other planes, but a pilot with the personality which fits the above categories is likely to employ the LA7 because its strengths provide excellent opportunities to do all the above. It certainly does those things better all round than any of the other 'dweeb' planes in the set. As such, LALA hate is understandable.
Excellent rant Red!

Hating a plane because it's a capable platform seems bizarre to me.
Threads like these are all the more reason to leave other aircraft in the hangar and take up the -7.

In some ways I agree, but the LA-7 is a niche plane. About the only time I use it is for base defense. Since it has such short legs, is short on effective ords, it's not the beat all end all plane.
It has it's place but 1v1/1v2 I can dispatch them with little effort...unless they run...and they often do.

I wouldnt bet anything on a fight against you in any plane. Everytime I have dueled you(2X)you have beat me like I owed you money. I dont owe you money do I, ill pay you back if I do. Just dont beat me no more .Plz.:cry

I am not sure if the Temp can run a lala down, but if it does, what exactly is it going to do to it? It better not miss the snap shot when the lala turns around to kill him :lol

Not really, just convince them that the engine was made in Detroit and every one will fall in love with the P7 :lol

I RARELY take up an LA7.
Plane SCREAMS thet you are there to HO and run like a fruitcake.
I WILL take one up to buff-hunt now and then, but rarely.
If you are using it to furball, IMHO...makes you look like a a HO & run fruitcake dweeb....but then again, it's your 15 bucks a month....
Camp the VH in a Tiger for all I care.

Sooo...if you show up to furball in a 190, p-51, tempest, typhoon, 262, or f4u-1c....what does that make you look like??? (I'm asking for the view thru your lens of course....)
Dude you are waaaaay to worked up over one plane. Makes me wonder what skill level pilot you are???

I think there is merit to this.
The best "overall" plane in terms of air to air capability, speed, range, ordinance carrying, etc, all combined is the P 51D in my opinion - it's also used more than any plane - and yet it's eny is 8 while there are a host of barely used planes that are far less capable/versatile with an Eny of 5 - that to me smacks of pure business pandering . "Well teh Mustang is the uber leett favorite of our subscribers,,,so we sure as well can't stop them from using it".

I thought we weren't allowed to ask for consistency in the assignment of ENY values.:confused:

Jeesh...someone lives just down the street from fantasyland. :rolleyes:
Hey, it's their $15 bucks a month. If they wanna show up in run-mobile---cherry pick, HO, and run away like a fruitcake, it's still their $15 bucks a month. I will personally look down on them as skillless, dweeb-twerps, who don't have the NADS to actually fight, but again, it's THEIR $15 A MONTH, let them do as they wish.
You simply didn't READ what I wrote:

(Show of hands please, how many "normal" people think I look "waaaaay to worked up"...in this post?.......hmmmm....thought so.)
It says what it says...in absolutely easy to understand ENGLISH. None of it is in a foreign language or coded and I didn't stutter.
If you wish to knock my skills based on a post (:rolleyes: ) (??) knock yourself out. I do not play the game or even post here to try and impress YOU.
It's amazing in a forum that depends on text, how many actually DO NOT READ....or read what they WANT to.
If anyone takes the planes you mentioned above to Turn & Burn furball, they are going to die pretty quick. They AREN'T taking them into the furball to "furball"...they are taking them to the furball to HO, Cherry-Pick and then run away like a school girl.
It takes ZERO skills to hop in an uber-ride and HO and cherry-pick (with alt advantage, of course) everything in sight, and then run away like a fruitcake.....and that, sadly is what the game has degenerated to.
Any eight year old can grab an LA7, grab alt-monkey altitude, go over to the big-fat enemy darbar and HO and Cherry-Pick everything in sight and then run away like a fruitcake...and THAT is what this game has become, PERIOD.

You can remove La 7 from that and add any plane with decent speed, firepower, and control authority in a dive. Most of them would be better at it too by having more fuel duration at Mil/Wep power than the Lavochkin.
Still don't see why the plane is the problem and not the pilot/style of gameplay
