It rather hard to fight against, especially with my usual plane in Il2 1946 which is a late model Bf109G or K, because while these can match the La7 in speed they cannot turn with it, which means I have a very hard time in a sustained fight. That means I have to rely on using BnZ tactics only, and on making ambush kills and then getting out of the area fast.

I haven't tried the La-7, but I flew the La-5 in 1946 and the control column obscures your view of the slip ball when in the neutral poition - how am I intended to trim my rudder? Any ideas? Not being able to see the variometer on the MiG-9 is a pain for landing, too, although as it's the gunsight housing in the way I'm sure there's not much to be done about that. Bring on SoW and 6DoF, I guess.
