why is the MiG-3 superior to the 109?
The MIG-3 was nothing compared to the Bf-109.
The U.S. played offense, not defense. Offense requires you to field fighters with the ability to strike deep into the enemy. Defense requires you to field fighters over or near your own terrotory.
For the U.S., fielding Russian fighters would have hampered offensive operations due to the limited range the Russian planes had.
And this is how and where a majority of combat occured on the Russian Front... The website u posted is about the Mig, and as such, is biased towards it....The 109F proved to be more maneuverable at low to medium speeds, particularly at low to medium altitude.

The Mig3 was in no way shape or form equal to the Bf 109F....
Aestetically there is no match, The Mig-3 is a beauty. 8)Soren said:The MIG-3 was nothing compared to the Bf-109.
It just shows you Salim you should not believe everything you read on the net, rather get known books and go from there. The net is not always the truth and do not quote from them if you do not know anything about it.I know that, which is why I try to look at as many sources as possible and get as many opinions, too.
In fact, I've ordered a couple of books on sword-fighting about a year back and they completely altered my view on medieval combat and weaponry. More than anything that could ever have been done by reading the internet (with the exception of full-fledged E-books, but those are books that are in electronic format, anyway).
I'll be getting some more books on fighter tactics and commando warfare soon. I need it for the amature stories that I'll be writing shortly... in fact. I've already begun a few 'practice' stories.
And this is why I ask you guys about various aircraft, effects of possible tweaking and whatnot. You see, I want to create a completely fantasy world in which I'll be writing my novels in. It'll basically have a World War 2 type of setting and I'll be involving a lot of fighting and whatnot. Though the machines used won't be the center of my novels, I need to create a plausable timeline for my world and the effects that it would have on my characters. They'll start out flying obsolecent aircraft and then move up and up, saying how things are better with their new crates. Plus, I would need to describe believable battles, and that cannot be done without accurate knowledge of the hardware and tactics used.
I'll be writing more about this, if anyone is interested, of course.
