-In 1947, two MiG-9s were taken by OKB Mikoyan and fitted with the new experimental RD-20F engine, which included a forced-reheat mode for its low bypass compressors. Essentially a very early form of afterburner/WEP, this new engine was supposed to increase the thrust of the MiG-9, but proved unreliable instead. The two aircraft with this engine recieved the special prototype designation "I-307". It must be noted that unlike War Thunder, there is no "early" or "late" variants of the MiG-9 in real life. There was only one main production variant called "MiG-9", project number I-301. The "MiG-9 Late" as depicted in war thunder is one of the two prototypes fitted with the RD-20F engine, called MiG-9 "I-307" (its prototype/project number).

-The '''{{Specs|name}}'''has been in the game since the start of the Open Beta Test prior to Update 1.27. The MiG-9 Late has two major differences over its predecessor, the first being the underwing fuel tank pods increasing fuel capacity, and the other important change, is the replacement of the RD-20A engines with RD-20F low-bypass engines with not only more power, but also a WEP mode. This rectifies one of the main issues of the older MiG-9, the sluggish acceleration. The new engines and their upgraded acceleration open many new doors for players of the MiG-9. Pilots must still exersize the same playstyle of Boom and Zoom as its predecessor, although the MiG-9 Late's upgraded engines and higher mass allows it to perform this job alot better. One must be wary of second generation fighter jets especially when uptiered, as those will often decimate the MiG-9 Late in engagements effortlessly.

-Much like many of the early jet fighters, they looked different, much different than their propeller-driven cousins. Now with jet engines driving the aircraft and the ability for them to go faster than before, aerodynamics needed to be reworked to accommodate leaving many of the first fighters ungainly looking. Not being left out of the mix, one of the USSR's first jet fighters to roll out into production was the straight-wing, tricycle landing gear, short engine MiG-9.

-The {{PAGENAME}} requires altitude to be most effective in either of its two main roles. While flying full afterburner into the middle of the map may seem like the noblest thing to do, it may end your piloting career faster than you care for, not allowing you to reach your full potential during the match. Best bet for this fighter is to start side climbing on the map or working on gaining altitude away from where the main group of aircraft are flying as this provides you with a relatively safe area to climb and allows you to see any enemy aircraft which may be gunning for you and give you enough time to respond or dive away. It is important to begin your side climb flying straight until the fighter reaches speeds of about 500-550 km/h when the climb angle can be increased to about 15°.

 When you reach an altitude of where the bombers are at, you can then begin to patrol and set up for any attack runs. Typically it is best to have some altitude over the bombers as this will allow you to gain more speed when driving and make it that much more difficult for the defensive gunners to hit you. Flying towards the rear of the bomber is the worst angle to come at, while it makes it easy for you to line up the target, you will actually be flying into bullets fired at you causing them a chance for deeper penetration into your jet than if you came from another angle. Due to the limited amount of ammunition, controlled bursts are best especially when aimed at engines, cockpits or fuel tanks. Carefully aim at these critical components and let the ammunition do the rest for you. It is best not to linger around a target, instead, add full power and zoom away until you are at least a kilometre or two away and outside of the range of any defensive turrets before manoeuvring for another run.

 It was clear by the end of World War II that the piston-engine-and-propeller combo had reached the limit of its potential. Soon it would be necessary to switch to new engine types.
-Jet aviation in the USSR changed for the better at the very end of the war when captured German turbojet engines, particularly the BMW-003, arrived in the Soviet Union. The aforementioned engine was studied in the shortest time possible, and a Soviet copy, the RD-20, was launched into mass production.

-In the end of 1945, the Mikoyan Design Bureau began the development of a jet fighter with two BMW-003 engines (producing 800 kg of thrust). On 24 April 1946, test pilot A.N. Grinchik first flew the prototype I-300 (F-1), the first Soviet fighter with a turbojet engine. The plane reached a speed of 920 km/h and had powerful armament: a 57mm N-57 cannon and two 23mm NS-23 cannons.

 In 1946, the I-300 began full-scale production and was accepted for service with the Air Force under the designation of MiG-9 (Product FS). Before producing it on a full-scale basis, the designers of the Mikoyan Design Bureau reworked the fighter's construction (particularly its fuselage) from scratch to adapt it to production in large quantities.

 The power unit of production MiG-9s consisted of two RD-20 turbojet engines producing 800 kg of thrust apiece. At first, planes of this model had RD-20A-1 engines, with a service life of 10 hours. Actually, these engines were captured BMW-003s, reassembled in the USSR. Subsequently, MiG-9s featured only Soviet-produced turbojet engines: the RD-20A-2, with a service life of 25 and 50 hours, and later the RD-20B, with a service life of 75 hours.
-The armament of the production planes differed from that of the prototypes. The MiG-9 (Product FS) had one 37mm Nudelman N-37 cannon with 40 rounds and two 23mm Nudelman-Suranov NS-23K cannons with 80 rounds each.

 In 1947, it was decided to equip the MiG-9 with RD-21 uprated engines producing 1,000 kg of thrust. The engine was uprated due to increased gas temperature and turbine revolutions.

 The last production aircraft were handed over to the Air Force in December 1948, and in factories they were supplanted by a new plane from the Mikoyan Design Bureau, the MiG-15. A total of 602 MiG-9 fighters were produced.
