You see a country mate low, with an La7 on his 6, close and firing. You can get a reasonably quick guns solution but you have an A6M2 and a 190 on your 6, however, you're closer to the La7 than they (the zeke and 190) are to you.
What do you do? Help or are you hurting him worse adding 2 more cons?
My "on the spot" decision was to take out the La7, reverse the 190, kill it, then run from the zeke and drag him to a squad mate. Worked too. :)

My ideal solution is to kill everything.

Well, theoretically, you run to him and take out the LA-7. Now the numbers are even at 2vs2, and your buddy has enough distance to reverse, gain alt, and make a pass on the guys closing in on you. It also depends on plane types. Are you in an aircraft that is fightable? Is your buddy in a plane that is fightable?
I'd probably roll the dice and go for it. I could always use the perk points of an LA-7 kill.
-
You dont say what your flying. But I would probably go for a head on.
-
Iwould kill them all, then do an inverted hangar fly-through, land, then wave to my cheering countrymen.
-
I would surrender, then collaborate with my captors.

that's when I usualy auger, not purposedly ...
-
I would attack the LA7, meanwhile pushing the on off button on my modem to create major warpage, therefore giving the leather panty wearing 190 driver and the zeke driver a hard time trying to shoot me.
-
I would dive down and fly past the teammate, so that the LA-7, 190 and zeke all go after him, then fly back to base and hide in the tower
-
I would bail out immediately.
-
I will desperately look around for friendly goons or perk planes.
If one is found, I will fly in his direction in an attempt to make all my enemies go after him, in wich case I will either run away or hover like a vulture at a safe altittude in case some enemies bail out.
-
I'd blast the la7 (Boom) TnB get the angle kill on the 190.... (pingy pingy thawump) Line up the A6m in my sites ... ~
- ~ ... and the Lock-up bug would get me !
-
If Lame-7 is firing, the guy obviosuly needs help now. I'd dive and make a pass, but not slow down. If Lame-7 is not in position to fire yet and our guy is not flying Niki or Spit, he will need help soon. I'd make a pass again.
As for 190 and zeke behind me, they are not problem if I stay fast and dive. If they are slower, they are left behind. If they are faster, I even our speeds by diving.
-
I`d make a pass at the LA-7, then HO the zeke, then outturn the 190. And open another beer i guess.
-
I'd kill both the 190 and the A6M with my "Quad-Hispano-Tail-Turret" (I have installed this on everything that I fly). Then I'd send each pilot a personal message insulting their skill, sexual identity, self-worth, etc. Next I'd engage my "LA-7 Engine-Power-Equalizer" which boosts power by 400%, (I have installed this everything that I fly as well). I'd then wait for the LA-7 to kill the friendly, before spraying him with my "Forward-Firing-Four-Score-Shotgun-Pattern-Hispanos". My next trick would be to turn off the killshooter code (I hacked Pyro's password, he he) and then shoot down my squad-mate. Then I'd send the El-Gay-Seven driver and my squad-mate personal messages insulting their skill, sexual identity, self-worth, etc. Lastly, I would crack-up my landing, because in spite of being a great cheat, I still can't fly.

LOL on the replies, now I know why I prefer to "lone wolf" fly myself. If I die I only have me to complain to.
For the guys that drag cons to me head-on... I just keep flying and blow past them and keep goin on my merry way WFO (Wide Feggin Open).
-
No question, I'd go after the LA7 and help the team mate, of course I'd expend all my ammo as my futile effort's only reduced the LA7's deflector shield by 10% (I don't fly Niki's) but it might be enough to make him consider breaking off my team mate as he recharges his deflectors and adjust's his death star lazer :)

If you have altitude over the both of them, dragging the con to you head on is the "right" thing to do and the fastest way you can get help to your teammate.

alt f4 and let him get ganged.

Alt-tab, whine on BBS about La-7 gangbangs, then alt-tab back to AH and auger.
-
Kill the La7 with a textbook perfect pass, then laugh as the 190 compresses into the terrain and the A6M HO's your bud.
-
Hit the "smart bomb" button.
-
Well first I don't have all the information to make a correct decision. The one piece that's missing is, what is my countryman flying?? If he was in a respectable plane I of course would go after the LA-7 for all it's worth. If on the other hand he was in an LA-7, Niki or Spit I would watch him die with all the joy and contentment that can come out of watching Dweebs feed on their own kind. :D :D :D

Lock-on to the La-7 with two Sidewinders 3 if the shields are glowing launch a 4 at the A6m thengo really fast in a dive let teh 190 compress and auger. Then turn back on the la7 and let loose a full load from the cannon in to the la7 shields. Then kick the afterburners ram him and let the teamate attemt to while you eat pizzas and drink beers as you watch the La7 kill your buddy.

Always kill Rocket 7 dweebery where ever it may hide.
All rocket 7's must DIE!!!!

If at all possible I would steal Lazs' kill.

I'd inform my country man that unless he turns there's no way in hell I'm catching the La-7 to help him. Then I'd avoid the 190 who's probably saying to himself "I'm so superior flying my 190 that I have to make up silly names for every other plane that outperforms my ultra-beautiful 190 in the least little bit." Then I'd reverse and HO the Zeke and savor the HO whine. ;) After that I'd die to the P-51D, F6F, and P-38L that joined the fray from seemingly nowhere. :D Probably would be a N1K2 and a Spit IX in there as well, tho there a little slower and might only get to shoot at my plane after it's missing a few pieces.

lol, some interesting responses. Some of ya be glad of your day job.
...and the La7 is one of the easiest planes in the game to kill.
BTW, who's Drex?
-
Catch a La-7 in my Hurri-2C?? whatever... No sense in calling 6 either, so let him die like a dog if he can't avoid a simple thinh like an LA-7. Dodge the 190, HO the zeke with quad hispanos (TM), then realize a simple 5 minute flight used up the entire fuel tank in my plane, curse HT for their fuel mod settings, and go man a field gun.

How do you figure that a plane which can outrun practically every other plane in the game except the 262, can outturn most planes and has lazer guided heatseeking uber cannons is one of the easiest planes in the game to kill?? Damn things just run away when they blow it. Thing that really upset me the other night, I'm in a tempest, things are a bit too hot so i put the nose down and head for home. As I come outta the dive almost at compression I see this la7 comin in behind me and catching me?? Makes me wonder what I'm risking 70 perk points for, when theres a faster more manoeverable plane out there for free.

Nuh uh. I just out fly 'em, get on their 6 and shoot 'em.

Just lookin at your scores bro, impressive
. Lemme ask you a question. Flyin in the F6F or 9U, what do you do when you outfly the la7 and just as soon as you are getting ready for the shot, the guy breaks and just heads for the hills? Cause sure as hell as soon as I get on ones 6 thats what he does.
Mebbe I keep comin up against the 'runners' just annoys me that I have to pay 70 perkies for a plane thats outperformed in almost every aspect by a freebie.

Gremlin:
Basically you sucker them into turning a little bit too much so they get slow, or you force an overshoot and kill them quickly. Either way you can't be liesurely about getting your guns on target because if you give them enough time they can run. And the La7 gun package ain't that great. It hits hard but ballistics and sight visibility leave something to be desired.
