War Thunder Premium Review: Soviet Dolgushin's La 7.
War Thunder patch 1.71, featuring Dolgushin's La 7.
Dolgushin's La 7, patch 1.71, New Era.
Today we take a look at Dolgushin's La 7, and we'll try to find out wether this plane is worth your money. We'll fly it out and see if it can perform in RB and AB, and after that i'll give you my opinion on the La-7.

Hey guys, while unlocking the new Su-6, i was flying out Dolgushin's La-7, and i decided it was time to renew my review on it :) Hope you enjoy! :) And dont forget to like, comment and subscribe. It helps ;)
Amazing dogfights, Jengar! Not to mention that planes are flying like a Extra 300, in AB!
Cheers alessandro, and yeah kevin, you're probably right ;)
Just another video selected for "War Thunder's video highlights of the week ".
Yeah :) was nice to be on there again :)
a tip: watch movies on InstaFlixxer. Been using them for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.
Great matches and great review. "It transitions seemlessly" is the best description I've heard to describe this plane. Its good at everything below 5000m, and since 5000m is rarely exceeded in AB where I dwell, that pretty much means the entire battle space. The dogfights you had in the AB match reflect just how versatile this plane can be.
I know I have commented on this before, but I also appreciate how gracious you are in commenting to other players. For those outside the NmY squadron, Jengar sets an emphasis on gentlemanly gamesmanship. We cannot be nasty to other players. Shooting obnoxious players to pieces, however, is highly encouraged.
The La-7 is probably my favorite plane in game. I think my KDR is 62-1 in the non-premium. Its just outstanding. The weakness is the laser-like cannon fire and the light cannon shells. In reality the ShVaks had great internal & external ballistics (high velocity, high rate of fire, and accurate), but poor terminal ballistics due to the shells being very light compared to American and British shells for the M-1/Hispano cannons. I see that in game. You sometimes have to get a long burst in to get a kill or you get a hit where a Hispano would have gotten you a kill.
Great comment mate, completely agreed! :)
I enjoy watching your reviews but there is one big problem. Every time I watch you fly, it reminds me how bad I am! Great review as always, keep up the good work.
i would hope that could inspire you to working towards getting better ;)
Same here magpie mate
great english. love the dutch in your voice xD
makes me laugh when we dutchies talk english everytime
we try ;)
Hey Jengar, love that plane in AB. That dogfight with the MkXVI was terrific. I found it took a bit to get used to, the Yaks are easier to transition to from other plane styles. Once dialled in, that is a good performer under 5K Alt.
Love these premium reviews and seeing you fly AB (like your RB content too :-).
more to come mate :) and definitely a great plane in both modes :)
i dont usually like watching AB, but that turnfight you had with the spit was lovely to watch! nice job once again!
Cheers mate :)
One of my favorite premiums. Almost as good as the German La-5FN
German Yak-1b is stronk as well ;)
indeed pola, indeed :)
Very impressive. The Spitfire is more of a specialist turn fighter whereas the La 7 is more of a jack of all trades yet you still got the better of him.
the la-7 is very dangerous below 4000m.
Love watching you in arcade! Those skills = those kills.
glad you enjoyed mate :)
Updated since this review and considering it's on sale, it has 184 more horsepower than it's tree clone.
i absolutely adore this plane. with it i was able to grind out the la-15 and la-174 in 1 night.
she's quite good indeed :)
Good review, Really appreciate the time and effort u put in making every video, always enjoyed the arcade part :)
Thanks mate, glad you enjoy the content :)
Great plane. One that slipped through Rap's fingers coz I love the La7, always have. Great plane, great gunsounds as well. They really make it sound like you're gonna do some damage with em!!
definitely true that :)
I see you are still WEPing like a maniac :D.
Very nice AB dight. I could hear the Spitfore pilot swearing: "Bloody hell,soviet UFOs outturning a Spitfire!?" :).
indeed mate, indeed ;)
I remember buying this in the Xmas sale and regretting it. Went back to it and gave it a chance. Glad I did as it's awesome once you get used to it. Good at everything. Hard to shoot down with an experienced player in the cockpit.
absolutely :)
Nice review Jengar, i like it, sad cuz this plane is not on the market anymore :(
absolutely, and ty :)
Very good video Jengar if you could make more of those ab informative videos i would appreciate it . Thanks for awesome video like always mate 👌
AB is and will always be in the premium reviews mate :)
did he randomly kill orange doom?
probably
Non Elite nope i don't think so. His name is: theOrangeDoom not OrangeDoom
Non Elite just a wannabe
that wasnt orange ;) his name writes like theOrangeDoom
Assume flying in that LA-7 might have to get one.
it'll serve you well as one of your grinding machines :)
I have no experience with the LA series, but the way you describe it, it sounds a bit similar to spits. Is that fair to say? Not the classical fast energy fighter but more manouverable than most of the opposition.
in a general sense sure :)
Jengar, will you do a video demonstrating how and when the rudder is used in AB, please?
Great vid btw, again!
Ty sir, i'll consider that tutorial ;)
I saw this plane in my game.
I play the normal la7
and i couldnt find this la7 in the tech tree anywhere.
its in the soviet tree rank IV. Probably a rare vehicle by now, that you can only get with events sometimes.
Yeah I have not had much luck with this and other russian acft due to my very bad trigger control to put at the top of my bad play list. I am getting better, but I find that when I play an acft with multiple types of caliber guns with many more rounds I do not maintain trigger control when I switch to russian tier acft. Something I need to work on for sure.
its all just practice mate, it makes perfect in the end.
stop looking at the target and concentrate on the lead indicator and just tap when it lines up .. once you've gotten a sense of lead, go RB
Thanks for the advice, but I stopped playing AB over a year ago.
I don't understand how is the La-7 at BR 4.7 along with the P-38L. To me, the La-7 seems to be better in every way apart from high altitude performance, which, however, doesn't matter most of the time because dogfights tend to gravitate towards lower altitudes.
P-38L is also very good, different cookie though.
Then I just can't figure out how to use its strengths.
Watch my vids on it ;)
Great video! May you review the seafire fr 47 please ?
i may ;) its on the to do list :)
“It’s not the fastest plane in the world” I feel like it’s important to distinguish between top speed and max speed. It’s top speed in level flight at sea level is actually incredibly fast, one of the best in the game. The P-51D-5 beats it but not by much. However, it’s airframe is pretty weak and it had a very low max speed in a dive. Also, because it’s a pretty light aircraft, it won’t hold its speed above its top speed very well, thus, like Jengar said, it doesn’t have the best energy retention.
dogeness Awesome in a scissor/energy fight though, only Japanese planes and very good Bf /Fw pilot can match its performance at low attitude.
top speed and max speed, i'll try to take that along :)
supp, thx for the vid, i thought i was going to die of boredom. can you do a La9 vid next?
np mate, got a jabber today, and the a6m2 sub's choice episode tomorrow ;) la9 is on the to do list.
This looks like an amazing plain. I see its not in the gift shot or in game. Where / how do you get it?
events and special events now. you'll have to wait till it comes by again ;)
You still know where to find the rudder😊
yes sir!
Casually shooting down TheOrangeDoom in his P51 lol
The only thing I hate about La and Rus team overall is when the enemy decides to go to space, especially bombers, B-17 just laughs at your pathetic peashooters.
depends on your attack angle wether he's be laughing or not ;)
I used to be down on La-7 because I never did well with it in Air RB.
But I tried it as air in Ground RB and it really shines there imo, since alot of engagements happen at low alt, and practicing with MiG-9/L 37mm has made me better at ShVAK.
Thanks for inspiring me to give this plane another chance, had an air ace game today XD
my game score imgur.com/5wfrhv4
good stuff mate :) glad to hear it !
can't get used to soviet shvaks
try practicing with other low velocity cannons, like MG151 (german) or USSR N-37D (MiG-9)
also get closer to your target than you would with other guns.
Put a large sustained burst I to the enemy even though you have small ammo. This is usually more effective than short bursts with those cannons. Also getting close is a bit easier. Use ground target ammo aswell because it has more HE shell concentration.
practice makes perfect, spend a few nights with them and you'll be fine with them.
Thank you guys for good advises. I will try too :)
way to go!
Hey Jengar, its mike again, I sent you a request to join your squadron, can you accept me in? miklu39, with f4u, p51, b17
you'll be accepted as soon as your turn comes up. we accept new applicants based on the date they applied.
Arcade mode = time to click away
So dirty
good for your reflexes and aiming. Every RB pilot should fly ab now and then.
Face Reveal on the next vid REEEEEEE
hehe
You are able to spawnkill in arcade just like I'm able to jump in a biplane and farm new players for points, but both are dishonorable and unbecoming of a skilled pilot. You clearly know how to dogfight, so why not back up and let the other team get into the game before you engage? That way you'd have more dogfights and fewer uncontested kills. If you want to shoot players who can't fight back, go in single missions and shoot bots.
i respect your opinion, but i dont agree with it.
Russians
Real life : flying bricks they were wining only beacause there was a thousands of them
War thunder : deadly, fast , can take a lot of damage (they're made of wood but still can take more damage than P47, Typhons ,Fw 190 , 109 and other fighters made of metal)
Good job Gayjin 100% realistic and legit historical game
Starting with the La-5, many parts of the internal structure were made of aluminum alloys. The amount increased with the La-7 so that almost the entire internal structure was lightweight alloys. Suggestion: a little research and knowledge before ranting.
in reality german pilots had the orders not to fight the later soviet planes between 1000- and 4000 meters. So the mid-low alt perfomance of them must be based off reality i think ;)
Only some of them were flying bricks, and then mostly due to poor built quality at some of the factories. The La-5s and -7s were very fast at lower altitudes and the Soviets often used them to intercept the faster German attackers (particularly Fw190 fighter bombers). The flight models, for the most part, are accurate. And I've rarely had any problems with the damage models. I've seen Yaks come apart from a few .30 cal hits.
