Atleast with the tiffy, if he tries to run after a blown merge, there are more than a handful of planes that can catch it.

When  lala runs...forget about it.

Maybe because more experienced people fly the Typh and understand how to use it better.. I for one fly it alot, but I've been playing for quite a while..

Plus I dont see nearly the numbers of Typhs as I do those pesky LA7's

Yah...La7's can run....but, Tiffy's can kill. The only La7 that I'm bothered is the one that can shoot. If you hit some one with a Tiff.....they stay hit. :)

You know, now that I think of it, I don't think I've ever been dweebishly HOed by a Typh driver.. Quite the contrary regarding the people that fly the LA7

Like Tails says, good luck trying to catch a Lala. Pretty much impossible if you're not in a D-9, Typhoon, or a same Lala. At least Typhs can be caught if he runs dry of WEP during the next 5 mins.

 Also, like Flyboy says, the La-7 is so much easier to handle that more sucky pilots fly it - hence, more mistakes made, more opportunities to slap it silly.

 However, Typh pilots are usually the most  timid of the timid. Excellent SA.. very cautious and edgy.. not exactly the fun type to be around, and not easily caught, unless you plan an ambush, and jump him with a La-7 or a D-9 with alt advantage.

 Dangerous? Oh yes, the Typhs are more dangerous. But only because the average Typh pilot is so much more dangerous than the typical Lala pilot.

OK, one more time:

LA7s are hated because they DO NOT allow people to land their vulches.  Vulch vulch vulch in a Tiffy, F4U1-C, etc and once you try to RTB you will get away from anything but that one lala that escaped.  No WTFGs fo u :lol

The rest is BS.  The running plane of choice is the D9

>>You know, now that I think of it, I don't think I've ever been dweebishly HOed by a Typh driver.. <<

I have, and for many of them, the HO seems to be their move of choice. Makes sense though too, it's not nimble or manueverable enough to do much acm, and it's 4 cannons are a tough package to deal with. To avoid, just fear their frontal area.
Now the lala, all too many will do the HO as a matter of choice (before they run). But, when they run it is possible to catch them in a Yak on the deck.

The Typh is very nimble and capable of doing acm, you just gotta know how to use it.. You also gotta know when not to engage, just like any other plane.

I thought the La7 was faster accelerating and a better turner than the Typhoon?
