S!
I've read Russian memoirs and they all follow same theme: We shot down Germans with words and writings on our planes, we struck them down with pure awesomeness! Give me a break
Russians did not admit their losses at all in many cases, evidence found in their archives, mostly they were "technical problems". I would say they had some very talented pilots like Golybev or Pokryshkin leading a mass of medicore pilots + almost endless reserves and insane supply of planes. Germans could not win a war of attrition against that.
Anyways I would not expect the flaws and poor workmanship being reflected in the sequel, on either side. Will be interesting to see how it turns out. Gonna get the sequel for sure just to support combat sims.
