Check attached NII VVS test chart. The prototype is named La-5 M-82FN SN39210102 It is almost 200kg lighter than a serial production version. It is even better than an early La-7! Ingame, the performance is between this, and the best performing serial plane, but usually closer to the prototype (SN39210495).

200kg lighter would definitely be giving a different performance level. Certainly.

Here's the latest: Mustangs (all of them) at 100M. There's a clear difference between the razorback and the bubbletops at this alt; also, if you take another look at the FW 190A series chart, you'll see that between around 400-540kph, the Butcherbird is a bit quicker than the Mustang, although the D model Ponies (eventually) have a higher top speed.

In the works: Jugs & Lightnings, mid & early war Spitfires and 109s at 100m.

Now if you will all excuse me, I'm going to ice the thumb I use for trimming.

cheers
