Why not go the whole hog and have a rolling plane set for one day a week!!!

Sounds great! Take it over to the CT and try it out!

Ren i wasn't advocating the spit V for the la7, but rather the spit V for the spit IX. At MA alts the spit V out classess the spit IX, at sea level the spit V has +16 boost, the spit IX only +15. The spit V is only a couple of mph slower than the spit IX on the deck, increasing to 7mph slower at 10k. It wouldn't surprise me if the Spit V has better acceleration than the spit IX- I've no idea if that has been tested in AHII.

As i said before, i can't imagine la7 pilots switching to any spit. They would probably devide themselves up into the other late '44 fighters.

Rgr Thrilla. I don't agree with your assessment of the spits but we all have opinions.

Here's an idea. Use the CT but only allow one planeset per week. Like beginning Monday only LA7's can be flown for the whole week. The following Monday only Ponys. The following week only Jugs.

Not much running but lotsa folks using their skills to defeat each other.

Ren stop being so nice. We could have started a nice flame war or something if we tried.

We didn't even get to trade insults or challenge to the DA. Ohwell.

If HT decides for a jolly to make the La-7 unavailable from 6pm central to midnight (6 hours), there would be so many posts here about everyone quitting it would be like clubbing baby seals

Anyway, I find that when I do find them, jsut have to use my plane right and there isnt much problem. Break, let em come back, break -- and pounce on the low E dweebs trying to turnfight in a dragster!!

I guess I'm more vulnerable to the slow and turning Nik scourge with my flight style....

You underestimate the La7's turnfighting ability, as do 90% of the MA. I thank you, please, countinue harboring this.

Must be the skill level of the guys I run in to, then. Scary to think there are people less able than I am....

la7 is a tasty plane.

It's not so much fear of the LaLa, but the fact that they rarely finish what they start.

The La7's ability to disengage is extraordinary!

Or do what I do: Let 'em run.

Assuming they disengage and run crying because they cant kill you, they'll be out of the fight alot longer than if you just try to kill them.

Now, the ones that DON'T just go away after a messed up merge, those are the interesting ones...
