In-game, you'll find these little wasps to be incredibly useful - field a swarm of low-cost, agile fighters with a low minimum move which will allow you to out turn faster-moving aircraft and set up the perfect attack! A small squadron of these could support a group Yak-1s or Mig-3s, acting as a second line to swoop down on anything that should slip through after the first engagement.
