Yes, generally something that has laminar flow wings as opposed to a conventional wing of similar properties and dimensions (except the laminar flow property of course) will generate less lift at the same given speed at the same, higher AoA.

But not always. Sooo many other factors involved too. But I'm thinking here that either
1) people aren't using the Mustang as an energy fighter, as they should almost never turn in the plane or
2) It really just IS that bad, AND people fit in also to #1.
