4. turn radius - crazy turner
5. you can run engine on WEP forever

Not sure how it compares to yak-3 in turn - no one seems to be flying yak3 much.

You should unlock the k-4, I'm swearing off the la-7 until I get the K-4, gotta have this plane for tearing fighters and bombers to shreds.

Also, sim mode needs to have the map modified - should go to large grid system to show general location of enemies - not exact location, kinda screws up BnZ for planes like 109 and p51

The Yak-3 can out turn the La-5FN and La-7. It is smaller, and have a shorter wingspan, so less resistance.

You forgot the La-5FN. Really, once you get the trim and such right, it's not a bad plane to fly. I've had several successful online dogfights with it, and have scored a lot of kills
