No hurry, I'll be busy too.

I'm all for the 410 as long as we get a Beaufighter for me to get shot at in by those 410s

Just stretching out after a day at work.

How long has it been since we had a new German A/C? Forever?

Definitely need another non American twin engine ftr to attempt to keep pace with the 38'S.

Yak-3 is slower than Yak-9U on the deck.

tru, but not by a whole lot.  It does however accelerate a lot faster, climbs like an angel, an should be more agile.  I would argue that it was the best plane the russians made during the war an comprable to other late war varaieties of the spit (16/14), 15 (D), 109 (K4) and 190 (D), KI-84 (ia) and so on. . .

I have been waiting for this one for awhile now, but lately the 109 have proven to be just as if not more pleasurable and i may stick with the G2 till i really make it my own.

The speed difference depends on the data used. It is true that according to one dataset the difference is only 6mph (351mph vs 357mph). A serial production Yak-3 was taken from the production line for testing and it did 345mph on the deck.

What comes to acceleration, climbrate and maneuverability I just can't see how it could be substantially different from Yak-9U:


Both wingloadings and powerloadings are very close to each other. Both use similar props, and identical airfoils (Clark YH 14% at the root and 10% at the tip which was already quite old technology when Yak-3 entered service.) and very similar wing planforms. It definately would be a fun MA ride but I can't see it being any better than Yak-9U.

Regarding the best Soviet fighter, I think that title will remain with the La-7 because of its speed and heavier armament alone.

Unfortunately, the P38 will feast on the Me410 any day of the week. It simply won't keep up with it. The only other non-American twin engine fighter that can compete with the P38 in game is the Mosquito Mk6.

I think if we got the 410 I'd fly it almost exclusively... Sorry Macchi... So long Ki84... if I want to bomb, attack, fight, hunt, it's got it all....

Question is, in the hangar is there enough room for 3 buttons: Fighter, Attack, and Bomber ?

I think it really should have that bomber designation (same as A20, same as IL2) as an option because of the nice bomb load and internal bomb bay.
