Yes the W.A.S.P, Valentina Grizodubova, Lily Litvyak, Marina Raskova all where great pilots. The germans pilots i think called them something else, Anybody Know?

I dunno if the German pilots had a nickname for the women, but Lily Litvyak, was called the "White Rose of Stalingrad". I'm not actually sure how that came around, but I think it was because her plane usually had a white rose painted on either the nose cowling, or some where else?

They called some of them "Night Witches" I believe? Because they did a lot of bombing raids during the night presumably.

Oh he's right. They called the 558th Night Bomber Regiment which would later become known as the 46th Guards Night Bomber Regiment. It was an all women's regiment.

Good going Matt. I even had to look it up in my book on Soviet Aces, just to make sure.

You cant be biased if someone's biased. Your originial statements were irrelivent to the original topic. Your lack logic proves my point still. Your answer for everthing is Russia, Russia, Russia. The fact that I acknowledge other planes, including some russian one's, as some of the greatist planes of all time makes me completly not biased. Just accept the fact that you're biased towards russian aircraft and move on. Come up with different material. End.

You can completely be biased against someone who is "biased". But I am not because I acknowledge other planes. When I speak with David, I talk about Spitfires and such. But I know a lot on Soviet Planes, there is nothing wrong with that is there? So I know more on Soviet planes, and enjoy them more. I think you know little of Soviet planes, and don't understand them. There is nothing wrong with me talking about them, if I'm educating people on them? Which I try to do. I don't go around bashing others planes, if I do, it is just for fun and jokes. And they know that.

I think your just an ignorant little boy, and don't understand much of planes? If you want, I could tell you some things. Maybe you've been getting your ass kicked by a Yak or La? Maybe even a I-16 or I-153, and don't know how to fly them. I can help you with this. But I'm not sure I would by the way your acting.

I just want to add, that not only are you going against me. But those on here, who are also "biased" with other planes. Just accept the fact, that in your eyes I am biased with Soviet planes, but to everyone else (I hope) I educate them and teach them about the Soviet planes.

Just gonna post to that. You actually did open my eyes to the Yak 3 (I saw posts about how you love it, balh blah blah) and now it's all I ever used, when I probably wouldn't have touched it before

From time spent in the game the La's and Yak's are balanced from my point of veiw. These I-16's and I-153's aren't balanced at all compared to what planes need to be balanced in arcade mode, as stated in my original statements.

And to be honest I'm not that interested in WW2 Russian aircraft accept for the La's. I think some of them are mean bad ass looking aircraft that can get distingwishable kill ratio's. Others look like alot of the other stuff russian's built "like crap", but the russian have never really focused on a peice of weaponries "looks", they want it for the ease of mass production, ease of maitnance, and to fuction to what it was desiegned for. But you know thats a compliment that they would gladly take.

The fact that you so quickly show a creditable peice of historical fact is good for you but is irrelevent to the discussion about arcade mode planes and the balance between them.

Night Witches is correct
