:lol  Actually, you beat me to the punch.  But, considering I agree with you strongly on this issue, I thought I would throw in my 2 cents.  ;)

The La-7 is Uber no matter how hard ack-ack tries to argue differently.

The Lala should be uber in a dogfight ... it's the only thing it was designed to do, and the only thing it can do. It can't carry ord or extra fuel. Its range is minimalistic at best. It's a short range dragster with a single purpose: To kill other fighters.

Given equality in E and pilot skill I'll bet on the Lala every time. Which is why I don't fly it, it's hardly a challenge.

Nope, only fly the P-38L as a fighter.  That's not saying I haven't flown the La7 though.

cc.  I'd rather limp home in an old 'n busted P-38 with one engine, leaking fuel and oil and broken landing gear than fly a brand-new LaLa.  :D

Here is why the La7 is uber.  It accelerates so fast that a La7 pilot that is completely careless with E can trump good E managment in most of the planeset.  In many instances it can merge, pull a 180, and run down the other plane going straight with wep.  Actually out of the big4 whine planes, that is the only one I feel is a problem.  
I could care less if all I see is spits, niks, and ponies most of the time.

akak has a career total of 2 kills and 2 deaths in la7 ;)

Well, it should be said that those figures probably need to be updated now that we rolled over to AH2.  I don't think the comparison will change all that much, though.  

The http://www.netaces.org webmaster, HaMmeR, is in active duty overseas.  Who knows when the data will be updated.

Thanks, Murdr. You've cheered me up! I looked at your link and I see that my F4U is a piss-poor plane in terms of acceleration. I already knew it was PP in terms of turning ability and climb rate. So now I need not feel so bad.

I am proud to say I have never, ever, ever in my entire life, flown an La7. I just kill them with extreme prejudice. ;)

Oh, thats hardly fair at all to the LGay-7... given a slightly below average pilot and a marked disadvantage in E I'd still say the Lga7 has about an 80/20 shot at winning, no matter how good the other guy is.  

By the way Karnak, I took you up on your challenge and filmed a "typical sortie".  I upped a 190A5, flew over towards where a red bar was before the HQ got hit.  Arrived at the field, saw one con circling in his ack, left, Morph got there, I decided to come back, it was an L-Gay (personally speaking, I was just shocked).  Speaking before I review the film, I'd say at least 90% of the planes that will be on film are, well, you guess.  Me and Morph are in 190s.

I'll edit this to let you know the results.

Film was 21 minutes long.  Two friendly niks, 4 enemy Lgay's, 1 enemy spit, and 1 enemy yak were the only fighters I saw.  So 90% is slightly off, 7/8 isn't bad though.  

There was 1 enemy B-17, 1 enemy 190, 1 friendly 109 that never entered icon range, and 1 enemy C-47 coming into the base that I decided to go strafe (bad decision on my part, as getting within 10,000 feet of an el gay pretty much nuetralizes any chance of getting away.  

If you'd like to see a real heart-pounding "fight" of some sissy in an El-gay hovering around waiting for his friends to show up I'll mail you the film.

Hmmm...let me get this straight...are you trying to tell us that the La-7 is better than the 152, F4U-4 & Spit XIV?   ;)
