Indeed, well that does tell us one thing. The Spitfire IX we have in-game is a Merlin 61-equipped Spitfire F.Mk.IX. Any LF.Mk.IX, equipped with a Merlin 66, should easily outclimb the La-7 at all altitudes.
In addition, the Spitfire XVI, essentially an LF.Mk.IX will also out climb the La-7. But based on the uber nature of the Russian planes in this game, I assume this is not the case. After all, the XVI rolls worse than the IX, which makes no sense either.
