How I Became a La-7 Fighter Ace

The La-7 is barely used compared to the Yak-3 in War Thunder simulator battles which is a bit weird to me as it has many strong qualities such as a very good power to weight ratio, excellent roll rate, 2 nose mounted cannons with plenty of ammo. I have really enjoyed the La-7 when I actually got the hang of how to operate it and I look forward to flying it much more to have some variety to the Yaks.

Love the La-7, I first heard of it when it was announced for DCS and I couldn't wait so I reinstalled war thunder and grinded the russian tech tree until the La-7 and really enjoyed this plane, I also discovered the Yak-3 which is very fun to fly. Time to come back to this plane hehe
@involuntarycommander8804

Yeah, the massive engine gives so much acceleration and climb rate. It's just a shame it can't dive! Or I would boom n zoom all day.

Would love to see P51D variant. Absolutely beautiful and iconic plane and you have a lot of control over when you want to engage an enemy with your speed. High speed maneuverability is also great and you can dogfight even bf109k4s if you stay fast
@involuntarycommander8804
@involuntarycommander8804 Месяц назад
Yeah, the P-51 is iconic. I think the P-51 D variants are a bit unstable but It's manageable! Other than that it's a lovely aircraft I could boom n zoom in all day :)
@elliottmin4057
@elliottmin4057 15 дней назад
My suggestion to you is the Ki-44-II Hei. Absolutely MONSTROUS climb rate for its BR. Good turning and rolling ability. Decent speed (can outrun Spitfires at 606 kph as long as you doge their shots), and decent armament (4 x 50cals if you want to give them another shot ; >). Only problems it has is that it locks up in a dive at 550kph and has basically paper thin armour like the Zero. Still, if you love turning and rolling around your enemies, I think you'll enjoy the Ki-44 series.
@elliottmin4057
@elliottmin4057 14 дней назад
Update, I take some of what I said back. The speed, guns, and roll rate are still good, but the turning ability of the Ki-44 in sim battles is a bit hampered by the instability the fighter has. It REALLY likes to yaw to one side and the only trim you get is for the elevator. You can still get kills in it, but it is a bit annoying.
@involuntarycommander8804
@involuntarycommander8804 11 дней назад
It's one of the planes that I always feel a bit scared of going against. It's usually piloted by skilled players, and I don't know enough about it to make good decisions. I haven't made a video of a Japanese plane yet so its maybe this one or the zero! Thanks for the suggestion:)

Can you do a video on the P-51 Mustang, seems like it would fit your boom & zoom style. Also as a sim player, I'd like to keep a picture-in-picture of the cockpit view all the time, to learn from what you're doing in the moment. The 3rd person is useful for theatrical footage, but the in cockpit is more useful as a learning tool. thanks!
@involuntarycommander8804
@involuntarycommander8804 11 дней назад
Hey man! I could do the P-51, the D's are a bit more difficult to fly than the C, but they have that nice bubble canopy and iconic mustang look so I would like to do one of the P-51D's. Alright, thanks for the advice!:)

@@involuntarycommander8804 Definitely worth the effort. Until a couple years ago i've been helping to manage and flying a lot on the Skies of Valor server, which was based on the old IL2 1946. If you haven't already tried, i recommend winging up with others. We were mainly using BnZ tactics and got out alive way more often than being shot down.

whats your trim settings for the la7? and how do you not flatspin whenever you try defensive manuevers?
@involuntarycommander8804

I use a -5 elevator trim only. I try to use aileron and not too much elevator when I fly defensive in the La-7. Too much elevator and you'll flatspin.

Do you use VR head gear? My problem is controlling while trying to look around. In RB I do ok but in Sim, if its not a bomber then im dead meat.
@user-ij8ef2ck4u
@user-ij8ef2ck4u Месяц назад
It's trackIR by the looks of it. The best option for head tracking in sims. There are cheaper alternatives though - either you can use an air mouse for a mouse look, or face tracking with the simple webcam. Air mouse is an option available for consoles as well, and I think, it's the only option. Although both alternative solutions are kinda meh compared to trackIR, they are better than using hat switches for looking around.
@involuntarycommander8804
@involuntarycommander8804 Месяц назад

Thanks man! Yes, think about the pros and cons of VR vs TrackIR before buying. I got TrackIR 5 years ago because VR wasn't that good. Now that VR is better it could be nice. But you still have the issue of being blindfolded which can make it difficult to find buttons and so on.
