The Yak9U out turns the LA7 easily.

Just turn to the right.

Spit XVI and LA have only 11.9 % combined.

All I see is "WAAAAA people won't fly what I like and keep killing me!" As for being "forced" to play on these maps... no one is forcing you to do anything. You choose to fly on them or you choose to leave.

I use to cry about people running away but it's how some people play. Same goes for the spits and lalas. Sure it sucks, but it's the way it is. Once again you're not being "forced" to fight them. You can choose to not play or(and stay with me on this) try mid or early war arenas.

Just a thought.

I will add I don't play this game to prove I have balls. I play it for fun, and if killing people in a lala is fun for me, I'm going to do it.

But no one complains about the P51D, there must be some rea...




What's that sound????



Oh no... Oh no ... OMG!!



It's the Pony Mafia!!!!!

[Ghastly]

P.S.  

Flew the mid-war arena while waiting for an old squadmate and few of his coworkers to come online - had good fights and a pretty good time.  

(Not that I mind LA7's - most aircraft are more competitive than my ride in most ways, so it's all in knowing how to avoid the fights you can't win.)

You might have better luck out there.

Fly the hurri 1, its a blast, takes a little more skill to get kills in.  There are those that fly the less ubber planesets.  I respect filth, he flys the p40 quite a bit.  To many people rely on cannon planes to compensate for gunnery.  I am not especially good a gunnery but 8 .303s at close range is where the fun is at for me at least.  Only problem is getting ganged when fighting.  Let the hurri fight, he surely cant run.

maybe it was just a bad night, but between the stench from the rotting corpse of these stale arse maps we are STILL forced to fly on, and the never ending sea of high la7s, often piloted by skilled sticks slumming in trainer rides stroking their pathetic egos-  I really didnt enjoy the game tonight. It seems to be an increasing trend, nothing but la7s-


It really is OK to not fly la7s & spit16 all the time, go ahead, have a lil confidence in yerself!  Try  somthing that doesnt have the pretty training wheels with spinners & the frilly tassels from the handlebars. Step outside the NORM! I remember when good pilots were ashamed to fly EZ mode planes. Some of us still are.

Perk rides are diff cause at least yer risking somthing, la7s are for noobs & simps. If you fly an la7, in my eyes yer either a noob or a simp-

La 7s?  

I ususally can,t see the La 7s because all of the 109s and F4s are in the way.



La 7 is a great plane by the way.




Simply Noobish,

You forgot to add P-51's.

[Avenger8]

Last tour # 1 was the N1K2 with 34,323 kills (In real life, less than 2,000 were produced )   ((And yes I know this has nothing to do with real life.))

[Bruv119]

Step away from the computer.

Take a break, go outside do something different.

Come back DO NOT get wrapped into capturing or defending bases.  

Steer clear of the HUGE red dar bars.  

Try and find yourself a couple of one vs ones in a plane you wouldnt usually fly.   Amaze your enemy with your uber flying ability in a Spit mk 1 or other equally ancient plane and laugh at them when they take a face full of 303's from point blank range and explode.

Works for me give it a go

I don't fly the yak9u much any more, but when I'm in one the last thing that bothers me is an la7, I love fighting la7's in it.

Now a spit 16? thats another story.

[Bruv119]

Spit 16's are only dangerous in a good spit pilots hands.  The average 16 driver just plain sucks.

The 16 has pretty poor low speed handling and many planes can outturn it low and slow.

Cant count how many times ive been in a f4u1d and made LA7's and SPIT 16's look like idiots.

[whiteman]

i must have been on the right part of the map, my short time before getting discoed i saw only one LA7 and two spit 16's. mainly spit 8, 38L and F6F. much more fun to fly against those when out numbered.
