I liked flying the MiG-3 in Il-2 and Fighter Ace 3.6. It was my favorite ride.
In the hands of an experienced pilot, it was hell for others, unless you were low and slow (just like any other plane, really).
I never saw any real problems with it. We need this plane, for historical accuracy and added depth. It's a great ride, and it's one of those that will "keep the noobs away", like the Corsairs.
And the various paint jobs would make some really nice skins.
