You forgot the La-5FN. Really, once you get the trim and such right, it's not a bad plane to fly. I've had several successful online dogfights with it, and have scored a lot of kills  |
Are you sure the Yak-3 can out turn the LA-7??? I haven't been able to get the Yak-3 to turn too well. Even with elevator sensitivity on the edge of a stall. Most of the time I'm at extremely low altitude. I would use the Yak-3 more often because it is such a beautiful bird if it's turn rate was just a tad better.
You're right about the La-5. I just HATE the recoil of the guns on that thing. The La-7 just shoots so much better. It is a great plane though.
