+2 I like the Yak, and maybe a graphic update for the ones we already have.

I keep -1 ing a graphic update.  I can see great now.  I can move my head where I want now.  Seems with every graphic update I can't get the views I had before the update.

My biggest beef with the P-39 is it seems I can't move around inside the cockpit as much as in older aircraft.  I know they fixed the "limited" head movement with one of the graphically updated planes.  F4U or F6 or something.  Don't remember ATM.

Wish they'd fix that on the P-39.

Yea I know what you mean didn't we lose some viability in  the La5&7? But I still would like the Yak3 added.

I'd love to see the Yak-3. I'd love to see as many Soviet air force planes as possible.

But if we got the Yak-3P and the TU-2 bomber I'd be in Hog heaven. http://wio.ru/ww2a.htm enjoy the sight.

The TU-2S was a Soviet level bomber that had a top speed of 340mph at 17,000' and a sea level speed of 300 mph. It carried 2 basic bombloads of 4 2,204 lb bombs or 8 1,102 bombs, "thats twice the amount of the B-26". It was well protected with 3 0.50 cal guns in the tail, dorsal, ventral, and 2 20mm cannon in the wings. It had a range of 1,300 miles.

THIS is a serious airplane. Frankly Im kinda surprised and dissapointed its not in the game yet.

In order to fill out the Early-War and Mid-War plane sets for events, I hope we might have the Yak-1 and Yak-7 series added...

YAK-3and the
P-47/M have been on my list for some time
, they both represent the hotrods of the war!
  i also like the yaks better than the La just because of the visability, to me it just sems like one of the easiest planes to see out of, and it will definatly make you a better shot, simply because it has little ammo, to waste,  if the 3 turns as well as the spit, combined with its, awsome exelaration, back to speed, she might give them darn spit -tards a run for there money!

The Yak3 that displayed at Duxford last year was simply awesome. 

On display there were Merlin and Griffon Spits, P51s and F6Fs and all manner of such planes in solid numbers.  The Yak 3 stood out remarkably.  It was seriously fast and turned like milk in the hot sun with sprightly rate of roll.  The only plane there that equalled (and possibly humbled) it was the F8F.

You can join in one of its displays it gave right here:

I dont think the yak would get 33%  I would like to see it .. it was on the vote list as well as the g55 which i would like to see as well.

It does not have enough ammo for it to get 33%  Most spit 16 flyers have very little acm knowlege and less gunnery skills.   They would take it out a few times get killed and be back in the spit or runstang.

It would be the single-engined 38 then.
