Sorry Soviet, this guide is meant to be based on experience, so unless you can truthfully say you outturned an La-7 with a 5 multiple times, I won't take your statement into account.
I value your input, but I want this guide to be based on in-game experience, so new players know what to expect in-game, as opposed to what it was in RL. As you know the differences can be quite big .

Well in that case, then I can say with all confidence/truthfulness. Yes. I've out turned an La-7 multiple times flying the La-5FN. Me and my friend have chosen both planes many times, and have he and I have always had a fun time breaking into La-7s turns, and breaking into a tight turn it cannot.

EDIT: Now I'm off to a party. So don't ask me a question anymore. I won't be here to see it until either the day after tomorrow, or even the next day.

In this case I'll keep going on Soviet Ace's experience, since I can imagine he flies the La's quite a lot . The disadvantage of this guide being based on in-game experience is that experiences can differ.. like now I have to choose between Soviet's opinion and Benrizz'.. so, nothing personal Benrizz, I'm going with Soviet on this. If you still don't agree, I'll test it more in-depth.
