Yak 9 M

A Yak9T with a 20mm ShVAK instead of the NS-37.  Slower than the Yak9T.

Are we just throwing letters out there?

in that case wrongway, why do we need the G14 when we have the K4, or the P51b when we have the P51D or the A6M2 when we have the A6M5?

and wernt you one of the people that wanted a Yak-3? do you know how much different it is then the 9U?

Yes.  Was my hunch on what the model was that needed only very minor changes to the U, for a slightly earlier war model.  IIRC just cockpit moved, and... one or two other minor things.

I think remodeled U, added M, Yak 3, and maybe one more Yak or Mig that fills the biggest gap would make a great addition for the ruskie fans.  Seems well within HTC's usual release size.
