URSS Light bombers/attack planes

[Odisseo]

I know some of those airplanes have been already asked..I just wanted to make a good "wish post" with all details needed
The 3 view drawings are wery good and have all details needed to design the 3d model and the full rivets and pannels details needed for skinners.
The wing palette display the colours schemes, the number which flew and the year of operation (only URSS, some was operative in other countryes, just extend the search on wing palette to get the total number).

[Denholm]

One question and one comment:

Isn't it USSR?

I wouldn't mind seeing more variety of bombers, especially if the next two released are the HE-111 and the P.108 to help even the odds of the axis' forces against the allies'. Then I would most definitely support these planes.

[waystin2]

I want them all!

[SmokinLoon]

Tu-2 would be the best fit for the AH2 game.  It has dual 20mm cannons and 6600lb bomb load (max) with a cruising speed of 275mph @ 8500ft.  Not bad at all for an attack plane, actually it acts more like a medium bomber in dive bomb mode.   

Didnt see service until Jan of '44 and over 1100 we made.  Many of them fought vs. the Japs in the east.

The Pe-2 wouldnt be a bad choice either.  A much smaller gun package (dual .30cals) but still a great bomb load for an attack plane (2600lbs).  Oh, and speed would better than Tu-2 with 336mph @ 8500ft. Started seeing use in fall of 1941.

[Noir]

that Yak-2 is sexy 

We just need them all, screw the He-111 !!!

[Denholm]

Sure, continue your pathetic American dynasty.

[SuBWaYCH]

All of them please, especially the Tu-8, Tu-2 and Pe-2.

Yes it's USSR keyboard trouble (mb need to sleep some more hours)

Don't misunderstand me, I think the heinkel 111 and 117 would be great in the game, and instead of the P108 i would prefer (or maybe too) the savoia marchetti, very beautifull airplanes (italians are master on design) but wich had a lot of engine and tecnical troubles...
I'm a Russian planes lover, I love the way of thinking of the russ engeniers "what miss cannot get broken". Theyr planes are simple, functionally and beautifull.
The russian airplanes are usually added in flight sims with the usuals lavochkin, yakovlev (we still miss the nr 3!!) and Ilyushin...but no one know the beautifull creatures of petlyakov (Pe-2 wich was in 1940 one of the fastest planes and the best light bomber of the early war), the Polikarpov (I16 "rata" is well know but I never saw it in any sim), Mikoyan (Mig-1 and the great Mig-3), Lavochkin (LaGG-3 wich was one of the best mid war light fighters) and all the family of sukhoy and tupolev airplanes. There is just a great lack of those planes instead of the well known "P" "B" "HE" "BF" "FW" series.

I suggested the P.108 because its an Axis Heavy Bomber which could have striking power comparable to that of the B-17.

[Motherland]

It's also a very minor aircraft compared to say, the SM.79.
My list: Pe2, Tu2, He111, SM79, and G4M!

[Denholm]

Were you referring to the P.108 saying its a very minor aircraft?

btw if we can get both way better than only one

[Motherland]

Were you referring to the P.108 saying its a very minor aircraft?

Yes. In fact, the P108 is in the B29/Gloster Meteor section IMO... According to wiki, only 24 of the P.108B bomber variant were built.. compared to 1,217 SM.79s.

[SectorNine50]

Wow, all these planes would be really cool additions... That Yak-2 is sweet!!!
