If I had a 2 fighters, 1 GV pcik...
1) Yak-7A
A very early Yak, with very comparable performance to both the Yak-1 and the Yak-7B, that may stand in for scenarios/events featuring Yaks from the beginning of Barbarossa to early 1942. The beginning of the "heavy Yak" line, which would eventually evolve in to the Yak-9U in the latter days, the Yak-7 was originally a two-seat trainer version that was converted into single-seat fighters due to shortage of Yak-1 production. Over 6,000 Yak-7 airframes have been deployed during
2) Ki-45 Kai
A double-engined fighter of the Imperial Japanese Army, some might consider this a strange choice over other, usually better known single-engined Japanese fighters.
The Ki-45 was estimated to be produced around 1600~1700 airframes during the course of the entire war. While the very first version was deemed a failure, continued development and modifications led to the "kai (literally
refined or
modified)" versions which were extensively developed to carry a variety of armament. While it was still much lacking in speed compared to US fighters, the Ki-45 was actually the fastest Japanese fighter in stock during the time of its first deployment, as well as being a very agile and nimble plane as a double-engined plane.
The reason I chose this, was that it is an important part of the Japanese plane roster, a fighter which was first introduced in 1941, and used until the last moments in Japanese home defense, against the mighty B-29s. It also holds a very diverse variety of armaments in a variety of sub-variants that can make a very good use of the recent AH armament system change which allows to select different arming options to portray different versions, as well as providing the Japanese plane roster with a heavily armed fighter.
