About this aircraft
- The La-5FN got its name from the more powerful M-82FN engine installed in this modification of the aircraft. The La-5FN is slightly slower than the German Fw 190 A and Bf 109 G, but demonstrates great flight characteristics at low altitudes. For weaponry, this aircraft features two 20 mm ShVAK cannons with 340 rounds, great for taking out enemy aircraft.
