Don't get me started on the UFO LA5FN which is one of the best Midwar Planes if not the best in the entire game.

20mm in the game favor the Allied planes. The only reason why the 20 seems more effective on the German planes is FWs are shooting 4 of them at you.

Check out the P-38 which suffers from compression WAY too early and it suffers it at LOW Alt which it didn't have that problem.

The F6F is underpowered.

The P47 can run WEP the entire time at high Alt and never overheat.

The P51 suffers from wingshedding which was a problem in the early part of the war and was corrected.

The list goes on and on. It's not going to get fixed so I say get over it and move foward.
You've sort of made my point for me actually

The point is that some planes have problems and that means sometimes those problems are in the negative and sometimes they are in the positive. Completely irregardless of nationality of manufacture. We already know that the some of the Russians think Oleg sold them out by making their planes worse than they think they are supposed to be and the same seems to be true for pretty much everyone else.

I'm not disagreeing that the La-5FN/La-7 series has some modeling aspects that put them above and beyond what test data I've seen available. I've tested it. I know they are. But there are plenty of types throughout the game that have problems both positive and negative.

Now I will put the can of worms back in the cupboard.
