I haven't found any indication, that the La-7 is more maneuverable than the Yak-3. It's faster no doubt about that, but the Yak-3 is all around smaller and not as big of a target like the La-7 is.

Think more La-7= Soviet variant of British Spitfire (not literally, just size comparison, sorta. La is still smaller all around.)

While Yak-3= Soviet varient of Yak-1M. You can't really compare any British, American, Italian, or German plane to the Yak-3. The closest you could come was the Japanese Zero.
