Straffo,
The VVS is getting the La7.  There is also supposedly an entirely new aircraft in 1.06 that has not been announced yet.  Maybe an Il2-M3.

[wishful_thinking]Il-10 would make more sense considering all the uberness in the fighter planeset.   (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)[/wishful_thinking]

Il-10 is sure to be modeled soon, after all it is very important type and msot used ground attack plane. As much I would like to see G-2 kanonenvogel Stuka or Hs 129 I must admit that Il-2 would be as nice to have.

I hope it will be a Il 2 or 10  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

 I must admit I am happy the Germans got the F8, but i am also kind of disapointed that this may of been at the expense of Japan or Itatly or the VVS....howeaver I dont think it burned up too much of NATEDOG's time since it is a varient (or is it a mod?), paitence is a virtue hopefully we wil get some planes for the neglected countries....

Wait, now I'm confused.  Wasn't the perk plane for 1.06 going to be the Tempest?  Is there yet another new aircraft otw for 1.06?

So far there already ARE two new planes.  The Arado 234, and the Tempest.

And two varients of existing aircraft, the La-7 and the Fw190F8.

There probably is more things on the way.

Some people claim the Tempest is a "mod" not a new plane.

F8 is obviously a variant, and the Ar234 a "new plane" but as for everything else, I haven't the foggiest idea what something is, a "variant" a "mod" or a "new plane".

At the expense of the VVS?

Well the Jerries have LACKED a good groundpounder for a VERY long time.

If anything, the VVS has lost out because of all those damned allied dweebhicles  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Santa,

What is the current VVS groundpounder?

This despite the fact that they had one of the very best.........

Yep, VVS in AH have been getting the short stick on this one so far... In real life VVS had specialized low alt fighters without unneccsary bomb racks which would degrade performance because ground attack work was done mostly by Il-2 and by Pe-2 to some extent.

Over 35 000 Il's were produced. Hopefully we see it soon!

Toad what I am saying is the LW lacked on badly.

LW did not get it on the cost of the VVS; the allieds got more groundpounders on the cost of VVS and the LW  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

VVS got a new LA-7, nice that the LW gets a variant too  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

To be honest, if the Il-2 came out in 1.06 I don't know which one I'd fly more, the Il-2, or the La-7!

I really hope that HTC models the Il-10.  The Il-2 would not survive well in the MA.  Maybe they could do both, after all the Il-2 would earn more perk points

I suggest the I-16 and would love to see a Mig3 in winter cammo...all white with bright red markings.

Considering that Pyro like to model planes that are not done in many sims, and ones that are interesting their performance compared to the "standard" set of planes..

I would not be at ALL surprised to see the first VVS bomber to be a late war Pe-2. Never really modelled, fills a mossie's role quite effectivly. Time will tell but my money is that we will probably see the Pe-2 long before any Ilyushin's in AH.
