In turn, the LaGG-3's also helluva lot more produced than the Mig-3.
When was performance ever a standard in picking AH fighters?
He doesn't need to. Your rooting for Mig-3's already pwned by our rooting for LaGG-3s.
Why not just add
both of them? My concern was the fact that somebody was asking for a LaGG-3
instead of a MiG-3, when we could easily (well, as easily as new aircraft come in AH) have the two of them added to the set. Both were significant Russian fighters, although the LaGG-3 was infamous for being a deathtrap, and the MiG-3 was infamous for not matching up so well against the Messerschmitts on the deck.
And I'll be honest... As much as I love the MiG-3, I'd rather see the LaGG-3 added before it, even if my only reasons are because it came first, and more were produced.
