this week in the AVA--Battle of Stalingrad

[715]

Larry: buildings right next to me would disappear depending on what angle I looked at them and I had render distance and complexity to maximum (as I always do).  You could see tanks beyond the invisible buildings but you couldn't hit them- the invisible building would stop the round.

Alright I'll look into it asap. I might have to end up making some custom building tiles to stop this.

I might make it tonite. There's a winter Friedrich with my name on it.

good cause 715 has been beating my butt all week!!

[Devil 505]

I get it. You just want to use me as bait. 

Probably wont be in arena until 10 though, maybe later if the Bruins play overtime again.

I've read that post. The only problem is I can not find anything on what squadron flew the P-39. I know they were being used by the Soviets around that time but there's no real proof they were in Stalingrad.

Southern Fronts

The majority of American Airacobras reached the Soviet Union from the south, via Teheran. In November 1942 the 25th ZAP was set up at Aji-Kabul in Azerbaijan. Aircraft were assembled at Abadan, before being ferried to Aji-Kabul where they were given to their eventual end users. The P-39 would be at its most effective on the southern fronts, where it would be used by Grigori Rechkalov and Aleksandr Poykryshikin, the 2nd and 3rd ranked Soviet Aces. A limited number of aircraft probably fought at Stalingrad, but they rose to real prominence in the post-Stalingrad battle of the Kuban River.

This terrain is heavy of Puffy ack... it is possible to reduce it - you almost always get it where ever you are flying

If it's typical AvA settings, you see the ack but it has virtually no effect on you.  Noisy but harmless.

Roger missed that

[Larry]

     Many of the top Soviet aces flew the "Kobruschka (Sweet Little Cobra)", including Grigory Rechkalov, who scored 57 victories, most of them inflicted by the P-39, and the well-known Aleksandr Pokryshin, with 53 victories, again most obtained with the P-39. One Red Air Force pilot, Mikhail Baronov, scored one of his 28 total "kills" by chopping off the tail of a Bf-109 over Stalingrad with the prop of his P-39. Some claim the P-39 was the best-liked of all Western aircraft obtained by the Red Air Force.




Edit: seems Baronov only flew Yaks
