Today, on March 21, 2021, marks the 79th anniversary of the first flight of the La-5FN. The Soviet fighter was designed by Semyon Lavochkin and quickly became a strong competitor to the German Bf 109. To celebrate this anniversary, game developer Gaijin Entertainment has decided to integrate the La-5FN into the game "War Thunder" today. From March 21 (2:00 PM GMT) to March 24 (12:00 PM GMT), the fighter is available in the German research tree for Golden Eagles.
The La-5: A Strong Competitor on the Battlefield
The La-5 was a successor to the LaGG-3 and was designed to replace the inline engine with a more powerful Shvetsov ASh-82 radial engine, which was widely used in the Soviet Union. This allowed the USSR to quickly produce a large number of new fighters. The La-5 proved to be as strong as the German Bf 109 in combat, and its modifications were used until the end of the war.
La-5FN: A Must-Have for War Thunder Fans
The La-5FN is likely to become one of the most sought-after fighters in the game, especially for those who like to fight on the Soviet side. With its high speed and armament, the La-5FN is capable of effectively combating both enemy aircraft and ground targets.
Golden Eagles: The Decision to Buy
To be able to use the La-5FN immediately, players must purchase Golden Eagles, which are available in the War Thunder shop. However, the decision whether to invest money in the game should be carefully considered. Although buying Golden Eagles speeds up the purchase of vehicles that take a long time to unlock, the game will still be fun without additional investments.
Conclusion: A Significant Day for War Thunder
Today is a significant day for War Thunder players, especially for those who like to fly as Soviet pilots. The La-5FN is a strong fighter capable of effectively combating both enemy aircraft and ground targets. Although the decision to buy Golden Eagles should be carefully considered, the La-5FN will undoubtedly become a sought-after vehicle in the game.
