2 things, not like in game...

and in real life FN pilots NOT open "stvorki" in fly, only if pilot wants to do this (no reasons in real fight and flight situations for stvorki FULL open, maybe for cooling engine sometimes), and was open only oil cooler, but only "по потоку", it means not full open, so - pilots and la-5 lose NOT 45-50 km/h...

i think, when oil cooler "по потоку" and stvorki open on 1/3 - this mean NO any problems with engine work (on forsazh too) - aircraft lose 20-25 km/h...

all this was reason why эталон 44 года= la-7 have new oil cooler - and stvorki...

and how i think, and read - 8. Влияние открытия заслонки маслорадиатора и боковых створок капота на максимальные скорости самолета, температуры масла и температуры головок цилиндров - la-7 lose with full open zaslonki and full open oil cooler only 9 km/h...

if this true, what we have in game?
