The LaGG3 was a wooden plane held together with lacquer.  I'm fairly certain it wasn't a front line fighter as its nickname was "guaranteed varnish coffin"

Not to mention being a complete dog.  Underpowered is an understatement.

Vracui, how old are you?  That can't be a "classified" or "too personal" of a question.

I probably know more about it than you.  Don't buy the LockMart hype.  The airplane is over budget, hugely behind schedule, and cannot survive emerging threats.   The Super Hornet brings far more to the fight than the Joint Strike Failure.


The thing is garbage.Proof, besides being in your own world.

The avionics don't work. Avionics work just fine, and each new update we are expanding them

The helmet doesn't work.helmet works great. Got a good view in it, especially awesome with DAS on.

Compromises to cram the lift fan into the design for the Marines wrecked it.  Though I'm not a fan of the lift fan concept, I worked BF-17 for a while. Lift fan works like a champ.

Bulkhead failures.none out here at edwards, and our planes have some of the highest hours on them.

Hundreds of hours in depot post-delivery to fix screw ups.no planes in depot, as we do all our own mods/upgrades, most are easy fixes.

Massive electrical problems due to insufficient cooling.no problem here with our planes, or from what I have seen through the many reports I have access too.

Not enough ordnance to fight its way into a target. this plane is not designed to go in guns blazing. It carries a decent load to get the job done.

Can't go high enough to get any range.can't comment as that's classified, but it's higher than you think.

Awful kinematics.

Creates persistent vortex trails that  can be detected from hundreds of miles.so does the F-15, but don't see you complaining about that

I could go on for a week.I'm waiting

Without someone to pave the way this thing is dead meat.

Being a crew chief, I have access to more things than you think. I know the numbers, and seen on video what this is capable of. Again what you know, is only speculation, as your clearly not even close.

"You're" not "your".  "Have seen" not "seen".   Too many commas, as well.  But yes, you are credible.   "Seen" video.  Video.   Lol. *wink*

The mx techs I work with are the best in the business, but they're not pilots.  It is a factor to consider.

Any way...

Call me when your mistake jet can fly in IMC.   :aok

Who are you and why should I care?

The mob.  The crowd.  Not "The Mob".   Sheesh.

Let's stick to the topic and keep the personal stuff out of it, mmmmkay?

I already corrected you.  See, you can do research after all.  

You didn't correct anything. You looked wikipedia as you really don't know anything about the subject to begin with. I corrected myself. Your initial claim which said Brewster was removed from combat tells everybody that you're entirely clueless regarding topic at hand.


Now go find the overclaims.

You keep claiming Finns overclaimed with out a source. Again, it is up to you to prove your own arguments. Basic rules of argumentation. Btw, the same authors that have researched Soviet losses from their archives have said that there are clear caps to be found from their record keeping (source: Keskinen & Stenman). So you are basically saying Finns overclaimed without any proper verification because it happens to fit your argument and are therefore full of it.


Only four of the victories in your list can be considered against first line airplanes.   That's hardly a resounding success for four losses.

Heh, severely out numbered while flying completely war weary planes. Yep, I call it success. You earlier called it "getting one's butt kicked" earlier which simply shows how clueless you are regarding the subject.

...and that was only the summer with LLv26 flying Brewsters. They had shot plenty of later Soviet types down with LLv24 before the Brewsters were handed to LLv26. There's 4xLa5s there and 2xYak-9s in those LLv26 kills. Yak-9 were 1st line fighters at the time just like La-5s.

Unless you used dice to select kills off of the total list those aren't random.  They have the look of being cherry picked to make your point.

I'm so very sorry for my poor choice of words. I'm sure we'd be better off having this discussion in Finnish.

The kills are in chronological order save for one poor liason Po-2 that happened to be at the wrong place in the wrong time on 27th of June.
