You should know the La7 or spit16 will outturn the p38 buddy. Once again each plane has its advantages and disadvantages. "LEARN THEM" 
I wouldn't say the La7 can out turn a P38. Though in most cases it would come down to the pilot and E situation for sure.
It's quite a shame we've lost so many squads to such a stupid cheesy Russian game like War Thunder. Ugh.
I do agree that there are too many people in easy mode late war planes in the MA. That being said, many people just do not have the patience for a game like AH. Where gaining the advantage takes time and skill. The problem is that dying isn't the problem. But dieing a lot and taking the time to get alt and get to a base can seem like a waste, then when you get jumped by 3 yak3s and 2 spit16s, it makes the game even more harder and frustrating..
I could see that being tough for people. However. If you are a squad based player, and fly with your squad. You should have a pretty good advantage. Just not sure why switching to lame War Thunder would be better?
