    Where is the LA5-FN and the LA7 ? How long do we have to go without them? Its not very fair is it ? How about we take away the late 109 and 190 to compensate..... IMHO its about time it was fixed....

    Ive seen the La flying in the Arena recently, albeit much less than what it used to be.

    Has it been reintroduced?? :dunno:

    hehe, typical... comparing apples 'n banana's here... the 109 and 190 weren't bugged, they were even downtuned, the La's you're requesting so humbly are the far contrary, not that I mean they were modeled like that on purpose [the flight model is a difficult thing to understand (in terms of editing it I mean)] so something went wrong in the beginning, it was way too well at maintaining its energy and it seemingly could pull of all kinds of moves when you'd expect it to be so low on energy that it could only go down as a brick, and now with the flight model being better understood, they have chosen to reedit it to work away the glitches....

    Re: Re: Its time to give them back


    I understand why they took the LA5-FN (not the LA7) but at this point in the game any gold that is in a difficult position just turns tail and runs and there is nothing in the red side that can catch them and they know it....So i say again it is not FAIR that the reds lose two of their best late war planes....and yes i know they will be back in 1:52 but when will that be???...


    :cheers:

    You're forgetting you have the P51D.

    Yak-3 gets the shakes if it dives too fast. P-15B just as fast as bubble top Mustang, catches 190A easy, but tough to bring it down with weak guns, small ammo load and warprolling, usually ~50 0.50 cal hits to do the job. Nobody has the patience to climb a P-47 to 25000' to make use of it. Too bad for them. IMO 190 retains energy tremendously well for a plane with such high wing loading

    P51-D better and the rate of fire of those 12.7mm is pretty awesome.

    Havn't flown one but fought a few and the later models seem pretty dangerous to me at low alts because of the speed and armor. (not to mention the 8MG's)


    Except when you try a turn it in the horizontal or find yourself at low alt with a Spit or Yak or P51 or P47 or P38 above you.

    P47 is an awsome plane for a good shot pilot...

    I remember scoring many killz with it on my time spent serving in the enemy (red) lines.

    The 8x0.5 battery is devastating......! :turret:
