That's what I'd heard too, although how you could ever confuse a Spit with a 109 when, if anything, Yaks look more like 109's, has always been beyond me. I was just hoping they might be included since they were in the original Il2, although I can't remember if they were in the original (if they were, then they were patched in) or came later (e.g. Forgotten Battles maybe). Still, how about Hurri's at this stage at least? I suppose they'd be IIb's as well, so an extra 4 guns in the Hurri would be nice to take out again over Blighty (again, if it is backwards compatible), though I'd really want a IIc so I could finally hop the channel and do some serious strafing, although the IIb with bombs would still be a welcome addition in both theatres.
Anyway, new planes are always nice no matter what they are, but like I said, I'm really looking forward to getting my I-16 back, and the I-153 was always a favourite too. Does anyone happen to know when the rockets that were in Il2 were brought on to these? Any chance we'd have them in BoM?
