THe LA-7 if flown with CEM does let the player get higher performance than flying the AutoCEM. In fact, I think it might be considered necessary in some combat.

I guess the answer to this is - just outmanuever your opponent. Now it's fixed. LOL

And the LA 7 is an incredibly dangerous opponent to dog-fight.
Its main flaw is poor dive performance. Engine management is all about listening to the engine and comes with experience. Playing with it’ fuel mixture and engaging and disengaging superchargers are all part of it’s charm.
Whenever one shoots me down, I feel that I have been truly outclassed because I know the pilot has had to work for his kill especially in a protracted engagement.
The first time I flew a Lagg I thought I had blown an engine before I learnt about fuel mixtures.
They take long to master do the Russian planes but once you do they are sweet and deadly.
So stick with the LA7, it is the best Red fighter mid to late war.
