The La-7 Still Has An Answer To Everything 

Helps him more than it helps you. He gets paid for what little GE you make in that app.

@@RedTail1-1 The type of guy to complain about food when homeless

Dang bro its not that deep. First of all it was a joke if u didn't notice and secondly pet him have I think he earned it with his content, which helped many players including myself to get better at the game. Still no fight under warthunder vids!

Lovely American experience

@@RedTail1-1 the 4 people that i gifted 5k GE to through the app in question:

The wt cycle is real

very relatable actually

No, it's the same as every other plane, but when you don't have wep you lack of acceleration, that's what people are notice. You gotta go fast at higher altitude in order to get manifold pressure back.

I guess what makes it weird is that flying at higher speed increases supercharger gear switch altitude. So you can climb in the 2nd gear, but once you level out and pick up speed, you'll go back to first gear. This is true for all aircraft in War Thunder, but it is noticeable on the La-5FN and La-7 because WEP is only available on the first gear.

It's call ram air effect, the faster you go the supercharger have to work less and this make them more efficient but tbh if you reach max speed at 6km in La-7, game either end or 109 g6 will kill you first. So conclusion.... La-7 is fast at altitude in theory... But not so fast in actual gameplay. Supercharger will always rob some engine power regardless of type it is, because it's driven directly by crankshaft so parasitic lost is unavoidable.

I'd advice you to be more aggressive. At that br, matches are hectic and people are inexperienced so you can use the knowledge you have about energy and all that stuff to your advantage. If you try to climb and wait you'll probably won't get any consistent result with the plane, but if you throw yourself against them, you'll refine what you know and make adjustments to improve. Just don't be afraid to lose (or die, in that matter) and focus on testing your limits and, ofc, having fun! (it's a game, after all).

@@byance97 thx

I tried to play the La-5FN a lot of times because it was used in the middle of WW2 and I wanted to be historically accurate and nerdy stuff like that. But the La-7 is just better in every way and you get the same enemies as the La-5FN because the La-7 often gets downtiered. So it's just unfair. I grinded the La-7 with the normal La-5 beacuse it was less painful that way. That BR range with the FN just sucks (u always get uptiered to 4 - 4.7 where the La-7 is anyway) So use the La-5 That's the only tip I can give you because I struggled like you are.

LA-5FN Is great, I love it. Just play ad mid altitude and be aggressive ASF. The mentality "first in, last out" should apply when going for furballs. (At least that's what has worked for me and I get 3 kills per game routinely)

Climb at a lower angle and higher speed once you start to close in to where the airspawn planes are going to run into you. I personally try to stay around 280~kmh IAS because I can still climb relatively well and still have enough time to pick up energy to maneuver in case of an interceptor or something.

amazing top down in ground rb with the gunpods

he'll have them by tomorrow hopefully

Easily

usual cycle ingame, circa 10 Years ago i made a report in Tech Forum about a Bf109E-3 WEP bug, was confirmed as a bug by Gajin short time later, then they fixed the Bug, one or two years later the Bug came back again and they fixed it 2nd time. About Gunperformance, Overheat ect , i think they have two settings only "not enough/useless" and "too much" and from time to time someone in Gajins "Staff" turn this settings on and off!

Yeah, cannons are sh*t again. hit and sparks all day long.

Depends on altitude but since most dogfights either happen at low alt or end up there after a higher merge, it's safe to say that without extending La-7 beats D-30. La-7 still outrates it, if not a by a lot, and this (together with stall which is better on D-30 because La-7 stall lol) are the only two things D-30 competes with La-7 in. Everything else it's not really close, so unless you merge, like, really high or La-7 guy is just bad I'm afraid D-30 has to extend.

ur gonna overshoot if u dont

if you talk about top tier jets, its props but if its about Sabers and stuff, i dont know lol

Props

If people dont camp their base every chance they get the second they are in 1% of danger then props I like early jets too if the matchmaker isnt shit

AND HAPPY 100K

La-7B has 130 rounds per gun La-7 has 170 Its not about the total ammo its about the trigger time and the la-7 has more of it

​@@DEFYNDid they change the amount? I remember B version having 540 rounds (180 per gun)

@@DEFYN yeah they did, or I have very bad memory, it's 390 rounds, sorry for bothering you

Thats the I-185, la7b has been like this since i play the game lol

@@DEFYN thanks

The J21s always got outturned by the XP-50. They always got outturned by nearly everything once they dropped below 270-280mph. The J21s really are 3.0-3.3 planes at best performance wise. They couldn't ever fight anything 4.0+ 1v1 and win if both planes have skilled pilots that know what they are doing.

@@rainsilent recently the performance has been poor across the board It doesn't like to climb and It doesn't like to turn

@@g1expert102 It always was "poor". When first introduced it's best climb was barely 16m/s and that has never changed since the plane has been introduced. It never was a "good" turning plane unless it was at a very narrow speed range of 300-360mph and even then it was never better than average, even at the 3.0 BR that it was introduced at. It was literally worse in every performance metric to the F4U-1a that sat at 2.7. The only thing it had over the F4U-1a was that it's 13.2s were the hardest hitting guns in the game for over a year. Combined with the fact that they otherwise behaved like US.50s and getting kills with those guns was laughably easy if you could get guns on a target. This factor alone caused it's BR to go up, by popular vote from the player base, from 3.0 to 4.3 where it currently is and was never capable of being competitive at performance wise.

Wat lol Or you mean the ad? Yeah lmao. Perhaps the big bang even

@@DEFYN my bad, I meant the ad. I still miss that map 😥

Are you running stock belts? 151 are quite good right now.

@@bradenhagen7977 i am

I have 2 LF 9 videos The matchmaker just sucks at 5.7-6.0

Yak-3, Yak-3U (or the equivalent premium), La-7, I-125 and I-225. Russian 4.0 to 7.0 is pretty good

Yak-3, Yak-3U, Yak-3 Vk107, yak-9u, la-7 La-9 if you want to get blasted in a head-on. Yak-15 is a 6.3 jet so watch out. I-225 is a rare Russian plane that works well at altitude.

Same as those comments above me said. Although as a russian main i can somehow elaborate: Yak-3U has a ludicrous

That planes is broken 😅

@@carlosadonayguardadogaleas6150 it just has a lot of engine power and a very low stall speed 🙂

Everything struggles against the VL , maybe except the j2m2

A passive La-7 player is hard to kill in PM-1 because La-7 is just much faster (so it's hard to do anything vs him just extending) but on the other hand PM-1 is insanely annoying to face in La-7 in the same way a Spitfire is because you can't do anything besides extend. One such plane being in the match and keeping his altitude forces you to play very passive and that basically nullifies your game impact. In the other hand, if PM-1 player fully commits to just climbing on La-7's six and forcing it to extend forever he also sacrifices his own game impact and it's a stalemate

Same engine I believe but the La-5 has a worse airframe

FN suffers from compression badly, La-7 is very controllable on high speeds. La-7 is one of the planes that benefit from ace crew bc you can do crazy 500-650 km/h loops.

Almost same power to weight (same engine, La-7 is some ~120 kg lighter which is a small but notable difference), La-5FN is way draggier (50 kph top speed difference with similar power is pretty huge) and has slightly worse flaps. But most importantly, 5FN is among the most compressing planes in the game. Basically doesn't pull past like 600. La-7 has one of the best prop FM's at high speed (with the caveat of having fairly low rip speed so you can't go very fast, but until that 735 kph the FM is very good)
