No 190s ?

No 190s ?

From what I gathered, the fw190 did not see action at Stalingrad. It was involved in the northern and central fronts at the time.

Ok then.

If the Yak-7 is the Allies' primary fighter, you'll need to give them a decent sized advantage. The Yak-7 is utter crap compared to the G-2.

i'm sure it's years ago but I remember mixing with early yaks (1 and 7s) while flying a 109G-2 in IL2 game.
the 109G-2 in that game had no 1.42 ata wep.

I think a telling measure of the Yak-7's performance is that the 109F-4 is inarguably the superior of the two. Its faster at all altitudes, climbs better, has more ammunition, and has more flight time. Its also pretty maneuverable.



IMO, the only chance the Allies have is vulching the He-111's on landing and takeoff. I haven't read the specifics for the He-111, but if they can fly at any reasonable altitude, any escort will be highly effective.
