As it is, the P-39 doesn't really fill any empty hole that a new Russian fighter wouldn't fill.  All the non-Russian "holes" are already co-occupied by the P-40E.  The P-39 would just add depth to the P-40E's coverage.

And result in yet more of this:

B-25D
F4F-4
P-38G
P-39D
P-40B
P-40E
SBD-5
TBM-3

vs.

A6M2
B5N2
D3A1


Does the P-39 really fill a hole there?  No, it just adds depth to the US planeset.

 




Yes but russian fighter are also like that....We need another Yak...The reason AC pilots don't fly Yaks is becaus they had little ammo.A Yak model with more ammo would work great...

Represented being a key word. Step aside.

Still, not having a complete Yak series is like not having a complete Spitfire or wartime 109 series (not that I dont want a Dora!). The Yak9U and 9T need updated anyway, they could add a couple more while they're at it. And, a Yak 1 would finally give Russia a voice in EW.

An LaGG-3 and a MiG-3 would do nicely as well. Methinks beefing up the Russian set with a Pe-2, Tu-2, LaGG-3, Yak-1, and MiG-3 would do wonders.

The Russians certainly didn't seem to resent it.

Nah, not because it was produced over here, but simply because the American side has the most aircraft currently modeled by far. I just think that the other countries should receive more aircraft before the U.S. gets another... It only seems fair, really.

I would really like to see an axis alternative to the C47. Ju52 would be the most obvious choise, but the italians and japanese also have some. One with floats that could be made available from ports would be the most fun.

Nilsen, I think it would totally rock if there were a float plane that could take off from a port!  So the available vehicles in the VH at a port would be the normal GVs, plus this float plane, and when you upped it, it would appear right there at the end of the pier facing out to the sea.  That would rock!
