Poll: 109 G6/K4, LA5/7, SpitIX, Hurricaine

That's four guys picking the YAk. The LA 7 has one vote. Are you saying the Yak is better than the LA7 in a deathmatch? Even knowing the LA7 is more manuverable? Maybe I should replace the LA7 with you YAK guys and let you prove it!

I haven't found any indication, that the La-7 is more maneuverable than the Yak-3. It's faster no doubt about that, but the Yak-3 is all around smaller and not as big of a target like the La-7 is.

Think more La-7= Soviet variant of British Spitfire (not literally, just size comparison, sorta. La is still smaller all around.)

While Yak-3= Soviet varient of Yak-1M. You can't really compare any British, American, Italian, or German plane to the Yak-3. The closest you could come was the Japanese Zero.

The problem I have found with the Yak is what I call a "mini" stall. Trying to turn real tight or trying to do a skid turn (a yoyo qualifies) it will just kinda stop responding and hang there for a several seconds, and then start "flying" again. It causes bad things to happen! Apparently, ohter pilots agree as I don't run across anybody flying, and I play four or five times a week for hours and fly against a lot of the top guys. That's why I didn't include it. But I will with no problem if you guys are willing to pilot them in the deathmatch.
