About this aircraft

• The La-5FN improves upon the original variant of this aircraft. One of its main improvements was the more powerful M-82FN engine, giving it significantly increased speed and maneuverability. It’s best at low altitudes, handles well and is armed with a good pair of 20 mm ShVAK cannons.
