Well yeah, but I'm still wondering which allied fighter can match the MC202 ???

The Spit MkII will slaughter the MC202...
The Hurrican will slaughter the MC202....

I finally found it :rolleyes::rolleyes: :!::!: I don't know why I didn't think to that berfore

a P51 will just be a "no challenge" for the MC202 player ;) ;)

How about a me262 with a player who is turn-happy :rolleyes: (im surprised how many of those exist :P)

To bring it back on topic:
The P-51 and jets, are planes you should NEVER take in a decent dogfight.

Yak-3

+Fast
+Maneuverable
+Well Armed
+Better turning radius than a La-5FN or La7
+If it gets damaged to much, it is actually fairly easy to keep stable if your good at the controls.
-Does not have the Yak-3 canopy.

I like Yak3 for history, for its style, for its name but I think the LA5-Fn is somewhat superior to the Yak3 in the game.

PS: BOP players (at least in SIM) are very sensitive to a kind fashion's week .

when I start playing everybody was on 109's then a few days later it was russians VS russians on LA5-7 (thanks to Soviet Ace). and now I don't know why everybody seems to prefer the Spit mkXVI. (Which I'm still waiting to unblock because I'm more on that forum discussing the game due to work than actually playing the game lol.)

Next week will be Milan fashion's week. with MC202 for sure

That's crasy !!! or Am I crasy ?

I'm still waiting for the I-153/Po-2 Strike hype... that would be epic :grin:.

The La-7 is amazing. It's just tricky to actually shoot someone with it. You also don't have to set the sens. too much down, about 2-3 notches.

Remember to give full sensitivity to the LA5 (you will break its chains and release the Tiger).

Beleive me you will kick so many ass with that plane, that i feel indecent to speak more about it

Classic, you've brightened up my afternoon with that comment. I am going to release the tiger tonight! ;)

I agree, someone needs to set up a Biplane match sometime.

The La-5FN has a larger more powerful engine. And heavier guns, those are all the La-5FN or other La's have going against the Yak-3. But I still like them all the same, Yak-3 or La-5FN? I fly both quite frequently and have many kills with both.

EDIT: Also, when flying Soviet planes i.e. Yak-1, 9, 3, and La-5FN, 7. Have the Aileron and Elevator sensitivity all the way maxed to the top. Like it was said before, you unleash the planes full potential as a killer.
