Mig-3

My vote for worst cockpit in game is the PZL P11c. What a visual nightmare.

Now, back on topic, I have always loved the look of the Mig 3. It has serious "stationary velocity", if you know what I mean.

It was also the very first bird I flew when I installed IL2 way back in December of 2001.

True... P.11 a nightmare for sure!

Stationary velocity... I like it. Yeah it's a fast mover when it gets going but it doesn't want to change directions very easily. It's very much an interceptor and not a very good fighter. You can see why it was consigned to early war engagements only and was phased out later.

Basically the PZL P11c was Il2's first ever officially approved user mod

If I remember correctly it was developed by an enthusiast and included as a bonus with the original IL2.

As far as i know the cockpit, damage model and FM have remained pretty much intact since the original version. The damage model is very strong you can ram with a PZL Pllc and rip wings off other planes and fly away intact. The main issue with the FM is that Vmax is substantially below what the real aircraft could achieve.

AM-38?

Not the AM-35?
What is behind that decision?

Prabably because there must not be many AM-35s lying around. Remember, AM-38 powered the Il-2, plane made in huge numbers (36000+). The AM-35 on the other hand was mainly used in MiG-3s (3100 made) and early Pe-8s (very few made), and most likely very few survived the war.
