La-7 is somewhat overmodeled but depending on the test data used its not as much as some might think and there is certainly plenty of Russian types that have modeling problems that are in no way optimistic.

This is a can of worms... But I can't resist making some comments... Same can be said about the cement elevators on the 109 series. Generally speaking some worse than others the G2 being the least.

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.
