la-5 and la-5f have correct performance, but have some errors here, and we can't say what it's really good planes...
and we not have first series of la-5 (only 3d model)...
yes, it's what i saying here too, but not all understand this...
i think, for russian planes don't need "love" of all, it's free choice of players, but to russian planes needed NORMAL attitudes of not russian players (unfortunately, and of some russian society's too)...
oh...  now check it - 7 il-2 and 1 il-10, but 22 spitfires and 2 seafires, and it's only some 5-8-9...
8 vs 24...
"spitfire 1946"... well...
it's to be good, yes, and i can add here "easy to do" il-2 one-seater with am-38f, il-2 two-seater with shvaks and il-2KR (and other weapon loads, of course)...
well, lets see... |
For online balance I've used the La-5F which is not all that different from a early 1943 La-5FN and use the FN in early/late 44 scenarios.
Also people shouldn't underestimate interest in a wide variety of aircraft. I love Russian aircraft and have a great interest in them even when my early interests were more with Spitfires and Mustangs. The Yak in particular has become a great interest to me.
On the subject of versions of Spitfire these are the versions you should actually count:
Spitfire V
Spitfire VIII
Spitfire IX
Seafire III
Everything else is a minor variation change with different supercharger, armament, desert filter, and/or clipped wings. It adds a lot of places on the list but they are not really separate aircraft. There are still more versions of 109 (even if we compress the list due to minor changes to canopy and tail section).
