Why?  They were minor players and mediocre at best.  The Mikoyan Gurevich design bureau was not particularly successful until the post war MiG-15.

Mind you, it isn't that I don't think the MiG-3 should be added, just that there should be higher priorities.

No thank you, we have too many jets as it is.  carry on.

In the spring of 1941, the Mig3 was good for 398mph at 25000 feet.

Erm, the MiG-3 was not a jet.

In the spring of 1941, the Mig3 was good for 398mph at 25000 feet.

And wasn't very maneuverable while being armed only with a single 12.7mm machine gun and two 7.7mm machine guns.

Still had 3,000 built, which is quite a large number, from what I gather it did not out turn a 109F/G2

oops, sorry. I see Migs and think of sabers and phantoms.

+1 Migs ARE a priority in a WWII combat sim... known as fastest rides in the early war, could be noce nice intercepting plane in the other 2 arenas AND would be great for AvA and scenarios, so why not a priority?

[Slash27]

Why? 

It's a wishlist. Not a demand list. Why is that so hard to figure out?

[SmokinLoon]

The MiG-3 is certainly on the priority list in terms of the "more Soviet planes needed" list.

The Pe-2, Tu-4, and MiG-3 are all more of a priority than the Yak-3.  YMMV.

Usually a wish has a reason.

Maybe it's his favorite plane?

So was the P-47M yet we have it.

I agree that the Mig is not urgent but I'd like to have it.

Between the LaGG-3, Mig-3 and Yak-1, all were instrumental to the defense of Moscow and Early War, right now if we had a barbarossa scenario what planes are we going to have? I-16 only?

Sure nothing is special about them - weak guns and none out perform a 109F - however its relevant to History so they should be added to Aces High eventually, just like the Yak-3 and He-111.


On a side note, if we ever added the laGG-3, the leningrad front would be quite fun - Finnish Buffalos against LaGG-3's vs 109F's.

I think if you do a 1942 scenario you can throw in P40s and Mig-3's.
