I don’t see any reason to perk the La-7. I simply don’t find them to be a problem. Yeah, they are fast, reasonably maneuverable and absorb damage well. Sure, they are dangerous if you have poor SA. The fact remains that most of the guys flying it do so because its speed improves survival. There are a few who know how to use it and are very successful. However. Most don’t and aren’t especially successful. I have no problem dealing with them flying the Typhoon, P-47 or F6F, which have been my primary rides his tour.
