Then it is mis-modeled. The LaGG-3 was grossly underpowered. It's pilots refered to it as the "wooden coffin" because they felt helpless agains the German fighters.

Remember, "favorite," doesn't always mean, "best."



My favorite aircraft is arguably the I-16 or Spitfire MK.Vb, I prefer them over late-war German planes...

Sure was, but it wasn't the fastest, now was it?



I'm at a wee bit of a disadvantage when I take on Friedrichs, though Finnish P-36's are easy meat...

The landing gear collapsed and the engine started smoking but I survived
