Wait... what?

Are you saying A6M2 should be faster than La-5?

Leaving that aside, trust me in saying that there must be something seriously wrong on your end if La-5 catches you in a P-51 (you are not flying it with a topped off fuel tank, attempting to dogfight a Lavochkin at extremely low altitude and then when situation gets spicy trying to run away, are you?). Why don't you upload tracks of it happening if you can't resolve the issue and I'm pretty sure some good fellas around here will be happy to help you out. Or, better, hop online, pick a La-5 and try to catch some P-51 jockeys. You might change your mind pretty quickly.
