This probably wouldn't be such a big deal if those "good stick" people who claim to "enjoy the fight" didn't show up in one among the newbs when a big fight was going on...it's gotten to the point where anytime I see "good sticks" land multiple kills in a Spit XVI, XIV, C hog, Pony, or 262...or if a "good stick" shoots me down in one of those planes...I don't give them any acknowledgment whatsoever. The guys landing multiple kills in P-40s or 109Fs deserve the respect.
I don't think the LA-7 is good enough to need perking...it's not that great. Like the rest of the planes, someone who flies it a lot can be a handful in one...otherwise it's not on the same level with the Spit 14/16 or C hog. Very easy to get into trouble with.
