Title: Guesses on the Russian plane?
Post by: Ripsnort on April 16, 2001, 10:56:00 AM
Apparently, a Russian plane is under works, any guesses?

Yak 3?
Sturmovik?
P-39 Lend Lease?  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Most to least likely, IMO:

1. Il-2 Type 3
2. Yak-3 (N-N markings)
3. Tu-2 or Pe-2

Maybe some early (1941) war planes like LaGG-3 or Yak-1 ?

What would I enjoy the most?  Tu-2

What would be the most useful?  Il-2 or Il-10

What do I think is the easiest for HTC and thus most likely?  LaGG-3 or Yak-1

Yeah, need to add a LaGG-3 so the Ki-61 has something that it's competitive with.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

It will be the Il-2 or Il-10

Il-2 or Il-10 is my bet. Two engined planes take more time, although I would like to see the Pe-2.

Anyway, where did the news we were getting a VVS plane come from?

IL2 or maybe a mig-3 be my guess, based on absolutely nothing.

I like Jigster's and Ammo's suggestion... a MiG would be really nice (IMO of course, I like A2A)... I'd really like a P39Q in VVS markings too but of course that falls under the dreaded American something er other conspiracy doodad majigy.....

Dowding,

This is where the confirmation of a Russian aircraft came from:

And 2 of those units are amphibious vehicles. I'm currently working on a Russian plane.

I would bet on the Il2 or Il10 (I hope Il2 because I like guns over bombs and rockets) due to the fact that the armor model is being redone in v1.07.

It should be a much better representation...

Il-2

But also may be Yak-3, La-5 (1942 version) or even LaGG-3

I like the white Mig3 with the red arrow, or the white LaGG-3

Thanks Karnak - I missed that part of his post.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Hopefully no lend lease stuff - the Russians made enough great planes of their own to choose from.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I hope its an Il-10, so that we get a late war ground attack plane to go with the rest of the late war planeset.

But I figure it will be a Il-2.

I don't think we will see Mig-3 any time soon. Why? Well it will be badly outclassed in late war arena, plus it will require HTC to make a totally new model. Yak-9 series still has some variants that we don't have, for example Yak-9K with even bigger gun then the 9T model (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif), Yak-9DD for people like me who constantly run out of fuel and Yak-9B that has internal space for 4 bombs. Also late Yak-7s could be easily made from Yak-9.
In any case, whatever that Russian plane is, I'm glad I'll get a new ride to fly in soon (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Yes given the late war plane set any of those three would be favoured.....

Yak 3 easiest as most of the art work and 3d stuff is done already. If modeled properly it would be the true Aces perk ride.

IL2m3 was (is) the most produced military plane in history....no Eastern Front scenario could be run properly without one. But arena use??????????
