In our Main Arena, we have Lachovkins as wingmen to Spitfires and FW's, attacking P-40s and Niks.
"Accurate" isnt the right word for Aces High gameplay.
Now, the FLIGHT MODEL strives to be as accurate as fun and processors allow. However, the arena is designed for fun. That means variety, balance, and loosely structured "gamey" activities like base capture are the rule of the day.
The production runs are essentially irrevelant, since the guiding rule for inclusion (as I understand it) is just that the airframe needs to have reached squadron deployment during WW2. Subtypes are included based on variety, difficulty coding, and balance in the MA. The C-Hog makes perfect sense in the MA even though only 200 reached deployment.
By the way, the 2gun La-7 IS ALREADY IN THE GAME. Select your weapons loadout in the hangar, and you can pick the 2cannon bird no problem. If you want to see how differently it performs, do some old fashioned test flying -- time to altitude, how many 360 rolls in 10 seconds, how long to turn 360 circles at stall, etc....and you'll find that HTC includes weight's impact on performance already. Even in flight, you get loighter and more maneuverable as you use fuel and ammo.
