(This looks like an I-185 tbh)

The Lavochkin La-5 was a Soviet fighter aircraft of World War II. It was a development and refinement of the LaGG-3, replacing the earlier model's inline engine with the much more powerful Shvetsov ASh-82 radial engine. It was one of the Soviet Air Force's most capable types of warplane, able to fight German designs on an equal footing.

Unlike my other planes, the plane wouldn't tip over when you land it (nosedive or hit the ground with the nose)
