Larry skinning with bumpmap and spec mapping? This will be good
What is actually interesting that there are almost no Land lease planes. Most of them Yak1, Kay-7B, Some La-5 and LaGG-3, I-16 amd I-153 and only 2 entries for P-40 and 4 hurricanes.
Is that what's interesting, or the fact that the player base has continually excused the insane lack of Soviet aircraft, and that HTC has alienated what seems to be the second largest market in the world of combat flight sims, because 'they just used American planes'? Because the latter is what's interesting to me.
The later on in the book is a chart showing bombers, with 5 regiments of domestic bomber outfits (mainly Пе-2) (which Aces High still doesn't have) for every 1 regiment of lend-lease bombers (Bostons)(No B-25s).
The other thing about this list is that it shows, even with the inclusion of the И-16 and Як-7Б, just how overwhelmingly lacking and thin the Soviet planeset is. We can see here especially that the Як-1 (and its contemporaries) stayed in widespread service well into 1943. Even И-153s, at Stalingrad! These are aircraft (less the И-153) this game is just really inexcusably lacking.
(now that I think of it, before a couple of years ago, precisely none of the domestic fighters on this list were in game-- the closest that was there would be substituting the La-5FN for the La-5)
