The La-7 is not a dweeb ride, anymore than any other plane in the game. You guys are flat silly. The ones screaming they are dweeb rides are the ones thinking that everyone else needs to subscribe to what they consider the "reasons" are to fly what they fly. What I mean is, not everyone flies something because they are looking for a particular "challenge" in a dogfight via the plane type.
The "challenge" is different for everybody. The challenge for me is to win the war while being consistently out numbered on a regular basis (in the evenings...and especially on sundays, right rooks?).
To you "plane type" people, your self proclaimed status based on what one flies means nothing to me. I fly the la-7, the spit and even the niki on occasion because I intend to go into a fight with any and all advantages I can garner....kinda makes sense to me. Why would I want to willingly place myself in a disadvantageous position just to become a notch on someone's brag sheet? That's stupid.
Then again, not everyone has the desire or the ambition to "master" every aircraft in the game either. I particularly loathe flying any of the 109's, although I will use the G-10 to chase buffs since its climb rate and guns make it fairly decent at that, but for dogfighting, I absolutely hate the 109. The 190's aren't much better, but the D-9 is ok sometimes to fight high alt, fast fighters.
So does this make me a dweeb? In some of your elitist eyes it might, but ya know what? It's my $16 a month, I don't really care
