Yak9M
Tu 2
Pe2/3

VVS 43/44

P39N
Yak7
Yak9D
Pe2/3
La5F

VVS 42/43

Yak1
Yak7
Lagg3
Pe2/3
La5F

VVS 41/42

I16
Yak1
Lagg3
Mig3
Pe2


I think we immediately see that the Pe2/3 is the most appropriate "new" VVS AC.

For compatibility with present plane sets and use also out side this arena i would add 2nd the P39N.


Yak Modifications

Yak 3 has slightly shorter wings than the Yak9U. Slightly better low alt performance and slightly worse med alt performance. Its also a bit delicate.

Yak 9M is the exact air frame as the Yak9T with bigger fuel tanks/ 20mm cannon and Vk105PF-2 engine(slightly faster than the T). (its the easiest upgrade IMO)

Yak 9D has cockpit 15" forward of the T & M it has same tanks as the M but with the same engine (M 105) as the T.

Late  Yak7's look like Yak 9D's but are heavier and slower.

Early Yak7's have an extended covered in rear cockpit canopy.

Late Yak 1's look like Yak 3's but are heavier and much slower.

Early Yak 1's even slower.


Fun factor.

I16 would be fun it would have a limited 2 x 20mm load out or 2 x 12.7mm  option. Its small size alone would make it a curiosity but its ability to turn inside anything, would make it the supreme perk accumulator in the MA.

P-80

RIGHT I'M ENDING THIS HERE

THE P-80 NEVER SAW ACTION IN WWII AND IT NEVER PLAYED ANY FORM OF ROLE AND IF WE START HAVING PLANES WHICH DIDN'T FIGHT IN WWII BUT NEARLY DID THEN WE'LL GET PUSHED FURTHER INTO THE FUTURE AND THEN YOUR ASKING FOR B-52'S, VULCAN'S ETC...

BTW you forget to press CapsLock twice ;)

Ok about deal - why not B-52 - I really would like on some point to fly this excelent mashine.

As we know air forces histroy didn't finished in WW2 it is continue and very interesting - for me I like to see Jet AH together with AH. I'd like to see period of MiG 21 of Phantom of Mirage, Why not.

BTW few of P-80 was operational as experement hovever did not see any combat duaring WW2 just afte it. ;)

I would love a 'Cold War' or 'Modern/Near Future' AH but we can't destroy the good old WWII AH!

BTW if we do get a 'Cold War' AH they have to have the V-Focre (Victor, Vulcan and Valiant)

Keep Flying!!

I agree that the most widely produced US fighter of WW2, the P-40 series, is under represented in the planeset. The K or N variants would fill that gap rather nicely, and may actually stand a chance against other mid- to late-war rides. Personally, I think the K would be the better choice, and more popular in the MA. For a perked P-51 (maybe 10 points like the C-Hog), how about the Mustang 1A with 4-20mm Hispanos? The Spit9 LF would be a good choice also.

Well, thinking about it more now...I'd rather see something totally new rather than just a variation of a plane that we already have.
