I know how good the hurri really is and as the war goes one what duties it can do better than the other. I also know how good the ruski crates are, i just like to have some banter with soviet ace about them. Im a huge fan of the hurrie, i will defend it where and when i can. But in a dogfight... 9/10 i will take a spitfire. Because i know as much as i like my hurricane, it just lacks in some areas.
The russian planes are good at what they are meant to do...... be fast and agile, or slow and heavy (Yak/IL2)
on topic...soviet, yes i know exacly what you mean  |
Exactly my point. Enjoying one or several planes of one side does not make you bias. I enjoy Soviet Planes more than British or American planes, but I still enjoy learning and reading about all nations planes. I just prefer the Soviet planes over the others.

And yes, many of the women became aces within a day! But sadly one of the best women pilots to grace the Easter skies was killed
