Author Topic: A least 1 new Soviet plane coming in 1.11 (Read 454 times)

HT was in the MA this morning and someone asked about future planes for the VVS and Japan. HT said that so far there is 1 new Soviet aircraft coming in 1.11.

Soooooo...

Which do you think it is? I wonder if it's a fighter or bomber. LaGG-3 possibly? The later model LaGG-3s would fair pretty well in the MA I think. Sort of like a VVS Spitfire.

If it's a fighter, I'd like something with some punch or at least moderate amounts of gas to get it around. Those are the only two things keeping me out of the Soviet planes we have already.

Mig-3? Yak-3?

Hmmm.

Yak-3 is cool. Sorta looks like a Spitfire to me though.

Pe-2, LaGG-3 or Yak-3, one of those for sure.

Unless of course, its a P-39 carefully disguised as a Soviet fighter...

My regards,

I-153 I-153 I-153 Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee HTC

And I-153 carries decent amount of fuel, I think somewhere = to the spit fire but not sure on that will have to check

(I know the Gloster Gladiator actuelly had a longer flight time then all of the spitfire models)

I did not say there was 1 new soviet aircraft in the works. I was answereing a question from soviet, and said that we had started work on 1 new aircraft.

Btw it's realy no big deal we start new aircraft all the time.

Would one of those new aircraft ur working on happen to have 2 wings?

PS. if natedog or superfly ever need any referances to biplane pics I got 1000's of em!

At one stage HTC were working on the Tu-2 but they stopped due to lack of some data (IIRC). Perhaps they've mamanged to find what they were missing last time?

YAK3 Is the plane I'd like to see introduced.

bring the PO-2 night bomber!
the slowest plane to see WWII combat?

I'm betting it's the Tu-2, because pyro was asking for stats on it about 5 months ago.

If I didn't list the plane type, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a Yak-3 and the Yak-9U in terms of AH.

About the only benefit of adding of Yak3 is if you put it in Normandie-Niemen colors so that there would then be a "French" fighter in the game.

Probably the next "Soviet" plane in AH would be the traditional Yak-9D, the midwar Yak varient. It compares to the Yak-9U, as the La5FN compares to the La7. Basically the Yak-9T we already have, with the single 20mm and x2 12.7mm MG's, instead of the big gun.

Of course I would hope that Pyro would finally give us the Yak-9UT that he promised us about a year and a half ago

But I'm not holding my breath.

Well actually Cajun, a biplane has four wings, and a monowing plane has 2, so...

The Yak 7 would be an interesting early/mid war Soviet plane, or the Yak 1M. I-16/24 would be a hoot. Probably the Tu-2 though.

Yak-3 should be considerably hotter than the 9 as I recall.

actually the 9U is very close in performance to the 3.
