opinions on this aircraft.

[Imowface]

tbh if i had a wish that would be to make the US buffs more like the real ones used in WW2. very very hard to bring down. i have seen photos of B-17s landing with half a rudder a few feet of wing gone. they could take huge amounts of punishment and still bring its crew back home.

and i see the Pe-8 wouldnt be popular huh? nah the TU-2 i wouldnt fly at all.

Yes the Pe-8 would be popular, it is gaigantic, it has cannon for defence and it carries a big bomb load.

would it fill gaps, absoloutly not, after the few missions it flew where it actually dropped bombs, it was moved to transport duties and chartering officials
List of Gap filler VVS planes in AH that we need for it to be "complete"

1. Yak 1/1m/1b
2. Pe-2 or Tu-2
3. MiG-3
4. LaGG-3 + La-5

1. Yak 1/1m/1b

isn't yak 1m basically a (pre-production) yak-3?

[Imowface]

no that would be a Yak-9U which is what we already have in game

For every B-17/B-24/B-29/B-25/B-26 you saw land with damage so severe that it boggles the mind how it even landed, remember that 1000's more like it never did. 

ack-ack

Yak 3 above all those fighters. NMaby those fighters would be useful in some FSO, but they would almost never be used in MA - which is where the usefulness of a plane is measured imo.  I know you consider yourself a good russian pilot and such, but honestly , can we please get the yak-3 so I can get my NN plane (and get something new that is competative).

But yes, russian bombers would be nice (but if we are gonna hyjack threads to push for fighters. . .)

please?

[Imowface]

those were my gap filler planes, If we wanted to go with planes I want the most in AH it would go like:

La-5+ La-5F
Yak-3
Pe-8
1-15  

also, one plane I forgot to put on the gap fillers would be the Il-4

and NN used Yak-9T's too so play with that for now

wow thats interesting. lol

[Ruah]

yak-9T. . . ew

I love the yak-9U, but I honestly find myself behind a LA7 more often just because I has a lot more killing power and there is someething so very very nic about at big red nose.

lol..u should fly with me sometime.

i got some amazing screenshots of me returning in b17s/25s/26s with tails missing, whole stabilizers gone, wingtips sheared off, im honestly suprised i landed them. there tough birds for sure.
