Soviet Aircraft
« on: July 26, 2013, 01:51:24 AM »
I thinking adding the Tu-2, and the Yak3p would enchance game play a bit. The Tu-2 was a Soviet "medium" bomber capable of a 8000lb bomb load and a top speed of around 330mph. The Yak3p was a late war variant that sported 3 20mm cannon instead of the two 12.7 mg's and the single 20mm

You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

I agree %100 that the Soviets need a level bomber.  That is without question the biggest gap in the AH plane set.  The SB-2 or Tu-2 would make the sense.  Then, bring on the Pe-2.   :aok

No more Yak planes!  If AH is looking to add anything for a Soviet fighter I hope they consider one of the early war MiG's.

Well, the SB-2 certainly wouldn't make a whole a lot sense at this point. The method of delivery is irrelevant, Pe-2 was by far the most important bomber for Soviets.

Yak-1 is still needed.

Yep, Soviet bomber aircraft which the VVS bomber units flew is the biggest gap in the AH planeset currently. Italian bomber is so much smaller gap, a quick, clansing and casual look to WWII history tells it right away.

 :huh

A casual look at WWII history as compared to AH would reflect that the AH plane set actually has tons of Soviet lend lease aircraft, including bombers - all with accurate skins.  :aok

What it also has is 2 whole Italian planes, neither of which is a bomber.  :D
