New Variants

[Sikboy]

If the conversation is expanded to include variants beyond those planes which have recieved AH2 standard models, I would most like to see the Yak-9UT. This is soley for personal reasons, and has absolutely nothing to do with what the planeset needs, or what ToD needs, or even Special Events (which is funny coming from me, as I'm usually approaching it from that angle).

Using Tony William's gun effectiveness article, the Yak-9UT should have over twice the weight of fire as the Yak-9U that we have. As this is the most glaring weakness of the Yak-9U (in my opinion) I think that the addition of this monster would prove rather popular in the MA. Depending on what performance loss there may be, this would give the Yak greater firepower than the La-7, which may make it a more attractive option to some. Granted the La-7 with WEP still owns the Yak, but at least one thing would close up the gap.

I would really love to try out the combo of 1xNS-37 and 2xB20 cannons. It's just scary how fun that would be.

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not.  Spits are hardly "extremely under represented".  However, lacking a Merlin 66 Spitfire is like lacking the P-51D and having the P-51B as the P-51.


The Mosquito we have is not an early war Mosquito as it entered service in July, 1943.  Frankly no Mosquito is really an early war aircraft as they only saw very light service in 1941 with 1942 seeing the first significant service by the Mosquito B.Mk IV and Mosquito F.Mk II.

I do wish the Mossie in AH didn't have those dang flame dampers.

No Im not sarcastic but I might be overexhadurating (sp?) a bit. We do need more spit versions, it is under represented in terms of how many versions of the spits there where and how many we have.

As to the mossie. Sorry for saying early war when I ment early mossie version.
