My Yak never engages WEP when I ask it to, then again my dog doesn't sit when I tell him to either.

Funny thing.... I always train my dogs. People are amazed when he takes commands. I am amazed at how many do not train their dogs.

I train mine too... We used to breed Blueticks, for coon hunting and would train most of them for the people who bought them...

There is a difference between sit and heel....

Like training bird hunting dogs, also...mainly for flushing out quail and retrieving dove and quail

We definitely need a YAK-3 with it's 3 guns , they are both faster than the LA-7 and turns better, and can't be killed  :bolt:
My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.

Why do yall think the LA7 has become less prevalent in the MA compared to a year ago? It seems that the Yak3 has taken its place. I'd still argue that the LA7 is a more dangerous opponent.

Interestingly it appears the C205 has become more popular... looks like a few players are primarily responsible. Unlocking achievements?

Or perhaps bored with it?

LA7 is much more dangerous because of that 3 cannon snapshot.

I think it is because the yak is easier to control, and takes a ton of damage.

I tend to shoot my way out of bad situations, so with the twos close performance, its a no brainer to go with the better armed la7.

Yes, the La7 is more dangerous from a snapshot perspective. The quicker you can shoot down planes from further away, the better off you will be. The La7 just gets picked off easier. The Yak does handle extremely well, I was in scissors in a F4u1d with a Yak3 trying to get him to overshoot and he was floating that thing with me at about 75 knots. Was suprised it didn't roll right over into the sea. He then poured the coal to it and turned out right, I would have hopped the 6 then but his 190D buddy came back in. The Yak3 more than likely would have started flopping while excelling away from me at D800. It's a very tough plane to shoot down, Size/Color and I'd say it has quicker movements than the La7. Then you do hit it hard and gets a minor oil leak or something but soars away so you will never catch it. Tough planes overall and I wish they had a small perk TBH.

I would probably want to be in the -1,  instead of the -1D, because it can out turn all other F4U models... and if one knows how to really dig in and fly it, the LA-7 nor Yak-3 can handle it....just saying

I'd take you up on that.. I'm fairly confident I could win against 90% of f4u drivers 1v1 in a yak3 or la7 at low alt as long as you dont get into a slow speed flying contest.

That isn't against the likes of rud3boi violator Simon or Humboldt. Haha
