It seems as though they had an operational squad serving during the last three months of the war that had at least one confirmed victory.

Most of them were post-war productions, don't know how many of the 48 built served with the 897th IAP during the last months of the war.

... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

+1. Almost as fast as the Tempest and with 3x20mm nose mounted, it deserves to be a perk ride.

LA7 isn't really good for any thing other than low altitude fighter sweeping and interception. I think the 109k4 190d9 and spit16 have a better case for being perked. Not that I think they should be perked.

I really don't care one way or the other if the LA is perked, but the bolded above is about 80% of the gameplay in the MA.  It is excellent in the main role people fly in the arena.  Just sayin.

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

K4 should be perked even higher than. Hell the G14 would probably get a perk price.

K4, holds the same performance index as the LA7 throughout its alt range.

Ehhhh, They are performance monsters, but they really can't even BnZ very well. Unreliable gunpackages (not so much the LA7) and mediocre diving characteristics make it so they have to commit to an opponent more than a P51 or a 190D/TA152 would have to.

Obviously there are guys who get good enough in those planes to be able to fight their way out of 3/4/5 v 1 situations, but I believe these guys are the exception, not the rule
