The plane missing is the Pe 2 (and its variants)it would be useful through out the GPW untill the end and is a glass nosed dive bomber for Ma use. (you can see what your diving at)
The Tu 2 was not seen in great numbers (about a 1000) compared to the Pe 2 and was useless at dive bombing. pretty tho.
The Mig 3 is sexy but of limited scenario (defence of Moscow only) use and zero MA use
The lagg 3 is not sexy, has no MA use but would be good for a few scenarios.(Moscow, Kuban, Kerch, Leningrad, Stalingrad, Kursk[which would also us e the early La 5)
The Yak 1 would have no MA use, be applicable in several scenario's(see lagg3 except the 9D is more applicable to Kursk) and is an easy graphic option.
The Yak 3 would have MA use but would be only little better than the 9U which was actually a rare bird by comparison. (Yak 3 scenario's Bagration, Niemen, Balkans, Berlin??)
Of course after the Pe 2 the next most required "Russian" plane is the P39 Aircobra.
Yes and before we have T34's we should have Katyusha rocket launchers........... IMHO
