I would appreciate a horde much more.........if they flew something this sexy.

I think you've had your defenition of "sexy" skewed. The Re2005 is clearly the sexiest aircraft that even has a shot of being added.


But for next addition, I vote the IAR 80 and 81. IMO, something that saw combat throughout a minor combatant's entire role in the war is more worthy than a high-preformance fighter (with preformance similar to that of the Yak-9U) used by a major combatant for the last 8 months of the war.

After that, G.55 please   !!!!

If only for this reason

and it seems the yak 3 will sustain a tighter radius turn and accelerate better (than the 9U) from slow to medium speeds.

According to the French pilots of the Normandie-Niémen Group, the Yak 3 was superior to both the Mustang and Spitfire when it came to dogfighting.

So was the zero.

I understand that many would like the yak3 to perform like this plane in the arenas.

Yak-3 and Tu-2

Russian Bombers we need those only 3 Russian planes in game

From historical point of view the variants needed are:

Yak-1/3 family:

Yak-1
Yak-1b

Yak-3 would be a nice bonus but not a necessity. The later war Soviet fighters are well covered already.

Yak-7/9 family:

Yak-7
Yak-7b (later low back version)
Yak-9
Yak-9D


Yak-1/3 line of fighter is still totally missing from AH. Soviets had three first line fighter families: Lavotchkins, Yak-1/3 and Yak-7/9 -series. All were massively produced. I think it's hard for anyone to imagine a situation where lets say USAAF would totally be one of its three first line fighter familes (P-38, P-47, P-51). That's the state where VVS planeset is currently in.

A Yak-3, TU-2, addition would have been far better then this recent thing.
