What's the difference between the La-7 and La-5N?
I think I read a thread it's perhaps lighter and has different MGs but that's about it. Maybe a bigger engine too? I think the cannon has more rounds too but I could be wrong.
Also, with 3 new Focke Wulf airplanes (FW190F-8, Dora D9 and Ta152) what are the differences between them as far as top speed, armament, turning capability, hi-alt performance etc. I know the Dora has 2-20mmm and 1 30mm cannon. Anybody done a comparison study of these aircraft?

Fw-190 F8: 2x 13mm MG, 2x 20mm
Fw-190 D9: 2x 13mm MG, 2x 20mm
Ta-152H: 2x 20mm, 1x 30mm
F8: Best for blowing stuff up, once more armament options get here it'll be the ultimate Jabo.
D9: Medium-high alt interceptor. In general don't tangle with one if you're flying a Yak at 21k.
Ta-152: Ultimate Alt-Monkey killer. Buff at 30k? No problem just make a 450+ mph pass. She's evil, if 15-20 mph too slow at alt.
La7: Two or three cannon load out, better turning and speed. Still like the La-5 she's not intended for hi-alt engagements. Keep her low and you'll have a load of fun!
