The spit16 is "dweeby" because it allows you to blunder your way thru the hardest parts of dogfighting, against someone who's doing everything right in almost anything in the rest of the planeset. You can make all sorts of mistakes and pay no meaningful penalty. The "problem" with vets who fly spits is that the plane does all the hard angles/timing work. It's a big crutch.
Before someone says it.. I want spits in the game. They remove any hesitation from second guessing whether I'm winning a fight without giving the opponent a good fair chance of winning, instead of just killing him on his first mistake. Killing spitfires never gets old. Nothing says "PNWT" like losing a fight in a spitfire... Nothing.
The historical argument? Totally off topic.. All but a handful of us are just cartoon pilots yanking joysticks in front of computer monitors (and VR goggles for the real freaks).
The Spitfire is better in all respects from the La7 except for speed. Really, since HTC changed it's low speed handling characteristics, the La's have become much more interesting aircraft.
Didn't Pyro say it was slats or flaps that had a minor adjustment, not the FM as a whole?
