I-16

Yak-7A

LaGG-3

Yak-1B

La-5

Yak-9D

Yak-3

..

IMO the bare minimum for filling up the gaping hole in the VVS fighter set.

Although we already have a few of those planes that are listed I am all for the need of more soviet planes.

Though I'm a total Yak-man in game (well, WAS a total Yak-man anyhow) I don't think we'll really need any of the 7 series. I think I'd rather just have a contemporary -1. And, as has been mentioned swapping the 9M for the 9D makes everything easier for HTC.

We don't need a Yak1, Yak3, Yak7, and 3-5 types of a Yak9. I'm sorry, despite some differences, they are mostly the same.

I can definitely see an argument for a Yak1 or a 3, but not both. Then I can also see arguments for maybe a different 9, but if we already have 2 -9s already, why do we need the 7? Also why do we need the long-range D?

I agree we need some more soviet planes, but we don't need EVERY soviet plane. Just my logic.

I think the same applies to the LA series. We don't need an LA5, an LA5F, and LA5FN, and an LA7. I'd rather see the LA5FN re-engined to the LA5, or -5F. The FN is too close to the 7 as-is. (*opinion alert!*)

I would like to see an earlier LA, we just don't need every minor update.

Like I said, just my logic.

P.S. Pe2 for AH2!

What!? No Pe-2, or Pe-8, mentioned at all. Shame on you all.

After reading up on the Yak-3, IMHO I think it may be lightly perked. Faster than the Yak-9(witch isn't to far behind the LA-7 already), climb like a lost Angel(climb to 10000m-11 min.), better roll than the FW-190, a sustained turn rate of 21.2 degrees/sec, best performance under 13K. This thing will give the LA-7 a hard time in the MA, probably knock it out of contention for the top three UberPlanes.

The Yak-3 has excelent handeling characteristics, and was given to novice pilots who reported that it was very easy to fly.

I WANT IT Give it, give it, give it!!!!!

All those single engine fighters, and no MiG? I'm insulted!

mipoikel · « **Reply #12 on:** July 26, 2006, 04:27:55 AM »

I-16 and I-15 pls.

frank3 · « **Reply #13 on:** July 26, 2006, 04:31:49 AM »

One of those things is actually called a 'Lag'??

I wouldn't fly that!

...Hmmmm, the ruski contingent already has some pretty good ACM aircraft, But apart from the IL-2, NO real ground attack birds. I mean, all of the previously mentioned(Lagg-3, Yak 1, I-16, etc.) are great from the prospect, that they would'nt own the MA like a horde of LA-7's would.

Actually, If it is alot of time and effort to model a new plane, It would probably be wise to add a light bomber like a Pe-2, or IL-4, or Tu-2. I would guess that these would be the only Red airforce planes alotted for awhile, before the team would have to go back to more USAAF, RAF, or japanese planes(P-39, though, would just need a skin change to a red star, to fly in the VVS.)

So, depending on how many that HTC is willing to add, aim for what you need most, So that you might get one.
