-Shortly after the end of WWII in Europe, following the advancements from first generation jet-fighter projects such as the Sukhoi [[Su-9|Aircraft K]] prototype and the [[Yak-15]] family, the Soviet Union layed down a new set of requirements for a second generaition jet fighter project. The main candidates were Mikoyan's [[MiG-15|I-310]] prototype, Yakovlev's [[Yak-30D|Yak-30]] prototype, and Lavochkin's '''Project 52'''. Project 52 differed from the competitors, as the project was for not one, but two aircraft. These two aircraft were designated '''La-174''' and '''La-174D''', the only difference being that the normal 174 used the reverse engineered Rolls-Royce Derwent engine, while the latter 174D used the Rolls-Royce Nene engine. In the end, only the Derwent powered prototype (reverse engineered as the Klimov RD-500 engine) was chosen to enter production as the '''[[La-15]]'''. However, due to the exponential advancements in technology in the early '50s, the La-15's service would be short lived, as more advanced aircraft with supersonic capability entered service and quickly replaced it, such as the new [[MiG-19 (Family)|MiG-19]] and [[MiG-21 (Family)|MiG-21]].

-The '''{{Specs|name}}''', introduced in [[Update 1.39]], is one of the rarest jets in the game, as it was only made available in limited time periods on 2 occasions: during the 2014 [[wt:en/news/833--en|Lavochkin's 114th birthday]] and 2017 [[wt:en/news/4961-special-the-la-174-is-back-en|Lavochkin's 117th birthday]] events. The two conditions to obtain the La-174 were that the La-15 had to be researched first, and the La-174 had to be researched ''and'' purchased during the event. Outside of these two short and exclusive events, the La-174 is otherwise unavailable. The La-174 is a very early prototype of the [[La-15]] found in the tech tree, and as such, the La-174 possesses very minor differences in performance and a different colour scheme. Due to being an almost identical early prototype to the tech tree La-15, the aircraft plays almost exactly the same: Relying on its very powerful engine and high thrust output to best its opponenets in energy based engagements, while staying cautious of its own speed, as the aircraft can easily rip its wings in a straight line with the absurd engine power. Players flying this aircraft should also be wary of the early air-to-air missiles they can face when uptiered, as these weapons negate the speed advantages of the La-173

-The La-174 shares many of the same attributes as the La-15, and thus shares the same general strengths and weaknesses as its brother. The La-174 is an incredibly fast aircraft for its tier but suffers from various issues. The La-174 is unable to carry any secondary armaments, such as bombs or rockets. It is equipped with three very powerful 23 mm cannons. These carry 100 rounds of ammunition per gun, which works out a total of 300 rounds of ammunition.

 Due to its incredible top speed for its battle rating, competing with the fastest at its battle rating, the La-174 should be employed in boom and zoom tactics. Gain altitude (and thus energy), and use this energy to execute hit-and-runs on opposing aircraft. Your powerful 23 mm NR-23 cannons will help you kill targets in minimal time.

 As a prototype of the [[La-15]], the La-174 saw no combat experience. Only one was ever built, and it crashed during flight testing. Compared to the production version of the La-15, it was powered by a British Rolls-Royce engine, rather than the Soviet-made Klimov RD-500k which was derived from the aforementioned British turbojet engine.

 Due to its incredible top speed for its battle rating, competing with the fastest at its battle rating, the La-174 should be employed in boom and zoom tactics. Gain altitude (and thus energy), and use this energy to execute hit-and-runs on opposing aircraft. Your powerful 23 mm NR-23 cannons will help you kill targets in minimal time. Despite the fact it is very manoeuvrable, it suffers from the issue of having incredibly weak wings, and they will likely snap if you attempt to turn fight other jets at high speed. However, if it needs to turn, it can hold its energy for an extended period and come out of a turn at a higher speed than most opponents.

 The Meteor is another main rival of the La-174 as the La-174 can meet the Meteor at any time from being down-tiered to up-tiered. While the La-174 can outrun and out-climb early variants of the Meteors, the later variants are far harder to outrun and out climb as they can easily catch the La-174. The best way to deal with Meteors is to apply boom and zoom tactics, but do remember a skilled Meteor pilot will have no issue avoiding a La-174 that is attacking with boom and zoom tactics. Avoid any manoeuvring fights with any variant of the Meteor as they will outmanoeuvre you with no issues at all.
