AI or human?

For 11 years the La's have been "hotly debated" creatures.

No I don't think it should either. If given time to accelerate it should be fine... even under the current conditions. Even before the max VNE, the La-7 begins to shed controls. The FW190D-9 can keep going... it's just the engine you need to worry about right now.
