Agree 100%. I would further submit that if the only Tiffie pilots you are encountering are such timid ninnies as you describe (Flyboy and Kweassa), either:
A) They are just as new as the runaway La-7 drivers
B) They got word of who you are and are so scared of your uberness they pee themselves and have trouble with the controls.
Actually, the most usually encountered Typhs are pretty decent and good pilots. They'e the ones encountered when you are flying around your home base and try to fend off enemy "grunts"(low skill, low flying, Napoleonic infantry-ish, charge-and-drop-like-flies groups of fighter pilots...), score loads of enemy kills, and then suddenly comes smacking you from above with quad-Hizookas.
You see the system message and think,
"oh.. it's him and his Typh.. again.. ".
So you get up from the next field, and plan an ambush, thinking
"he's not gonna land those kills" and approach.
Except the moment they see your icon from 6.0k out, they turn around, and run to home full speed, and then land the kills. You may be able to run him down, but it's gonna take like 5~7 minutes to outpace a full speed Typh. You're never gonna catch him before he reaches the safety of his home base.
La-7 pilots are different. The good ones do fly in the above manner, but most of them just jump into enemy field full speed, make high-G turns and reversals, blow all the E they have, and then get caught by your own La-7s in the vicinity. (Ofcourse, when your team doesn't have a La-7 nearby, sometimes that La-7 can do all that stupid stuff, and still manage to get home in one piece...)
