Bard Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 After last night's training to me it looks like the La-5 is the aircraft to use in the counter-fighter role.The 9T- or the p-39's - would make excellent stuka and bomber killers (i'd sway to the p-39 due to their supplementary firepower).The only issue I can think of with the la-5 is the ammunition load. We are going to have to be very sparing with our gunnery, using single shots where possible rather than bursts, and due to our speed and manoeuvrability should use a close convergence of up to 300 metres. For the 39 or 9T - practicing long range shots against AI to get your 'sight picture' fixed in your mind would be a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWCephas Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 What I had in mind. La-5's providing CAP/patrol vectoring in either 9T's or P-39's to intercept with their big cannons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
