Yak 3 would be quite the good plane.

Like a more capable Yak 9U - would not attract the masses though because it would retain a "light" armament before the 3P which we wouldn't get unless it was a "perked loadout".  This is early-mid 1944 aircraft in service and was substantially produced.

I'd like Yak 3, Yak 1B (late) and a redo of the current 9T and 9U interiors all done in one pass.

I still think we are missing gvs. But a new yak would be a nice plane, when i think of it, there arent many "Russian built" planes in the game, alot of planes with the red star are american.

GVs are just a sideshow. We just got the Sherman. No more bloody GVs until the planeset is padded out a bit more.

La-7 and Fw190D-9 would be no more threatened by a Yak-3 than they are by the Spitfire Mk VIII.  The fast Yak-3 with the VK-107 engine was post war.  Wartime Yak-3s had the VK-105 and subsequently much lower performance.

La7 and Dora's? Yak-9U eats them up as it is. Yak-3 would have to be a perk ride.  :D

Forget the Yak-3 just update the 9's to AH2 level, then look at the 3 after that. Of course if this can all be done at once like someone else mentioned then great!  :aok

Yes and who are the idiots that wanted the P39? An obvious candidate for hanger queen if ever I saw one. Did anyone actually think about what the aircraft would be like.. Perf,visibility etc before voting for it?

The P39 is a great fighter and a fun aircraft to fly. Not many people fly it though... I'm not sure why. Then again, a comparatively small amount of people fly the Yak compared to the La5/7, Spit, 51, 109 etc even though its close in performance. On the couple occasions I took it up in the DA I did really well with it. Not to mention it fills tons of scenario gaps, in both the American and Soviet sets.
