23/24 on very hard also.  My problem was telling an F8F Bearcat from an F6F Hellcat from a really bad photo.

The Ka-25 Hormone (gee thanks nato, nice codename :rolleyes:  ) Was the primary ASW Chopper of the Soviet Navy. It, and the later model Ka-27 Helix (that's more like it) are still in use with the Russian navy today, I think.

The Ka-27 (Which looks almost exactly the same) is also used as an airborn radar for the Russians. It's usefull in Over the Horizon targeting, as long as it doesn't venture out too far from the fleets Air defences.  They get their squat shape from the fact that they have no tail rotor, and instead use counter-rotating (contra-rotating? My latin is worse than my Russian ;) ) blades to maintain stability.

20/24 on very hard.  Missed a couple of Soviet planes and a P2V and C-160... neither of which I've ever heard of.

Helicopters and transport planes is something I know little about.

Couldn't tell the difference between C7 - C123, and B36 - B45...

But I was lucky on some photos too ;)

24/24 on very hard WOOT

Btw this is the Mig 1.42, it's a new mig that's in development and has reached prototype stage.  Unfortunantly Russia doesn't have the money to produce it massly for it's Air Force
