Anyway it is what if setup.......
So most important there is ballance.....

I do not see that usage of strategic bombers will give to USAF/RAF big advantage. Because they are not really usefull in CT. So if there will not be buffs for VVS I don't think it will change a lot....
Actually it would be even interesting because strategic aviation wasn't developed in VVS when tactic bomber aviation had one of the best strike planes of WW2 Il-2. It is great bomber to destroy any tactical target like field because of its good armor. Of corse it needs cover - as any strategic bomber formations of WW2.

Actually Il-2 is much more suitable as tactical bomber/attacker for CT then strategic bombers like B-17 and Lancasters.

Artik,

I gotta say that USAF did not come until President Truman signed the legislation that established a new defense organization for the nation in July 26, 1947 and independent Air Force into being.

So just stick with USAAC/USAAF

By this time period the clever and resourceful soviets had copied (down to the last rivet) the B29.

Stalin wanted it to be so exact in every detail they even copied a repair patch on one of the wings.

The great Yak-3 was also available as well.

...and it was not until 1949 that the TU-4 became fully operational with some 300 in service.

Hey this sounds like a cool setup, would be pretty interesting, and have some type of missions based on "Fail Safe" that would be cool, that's if any of you people even know what "Fail Safe" was during those years of the cold war. But Anyways Artik, Nice Idea I like it!, oh and Rafe, who really cares what the name was whether it be USAF and USAAF or whatever the hell you said, just as long as it is USA and UK vs USSR, big deal, it's a nice setup either way, but nice try on getting technical about it!

Yes it would be very interesting to see how Mustangs, Spitfires and Thunderbolts will deal with Yaks and Lavochkins, How the strategic bomb aviation will deal with tactical....
