What aircraft would a Battle for Moscow senario need?

Of course the P-40B would make my day.



Robust airframe, fast at the levels the VVS mostly operated at, maneuverable, high roll rate, and if we got the field modded version with the wing guns removed, even more performance and higher roll rates.

Also it had endurance, something usually lacking in both the Luftwaffe and Russian built machines.

You may not know this, but in the online wars, lend lease US planes have always been more welcomed. Firstly because they took more skill to fly succesfully. A P40 didn`t always show the same, top notch firghting performance because red side pilots actually had trouble managing them. A fearsome opponent, and nearly every red victory well deserved.

Second reason is that the fifty caliber worked a little different. 80% of the time a LW plane was shot and crippled while the pilot was able to escape.
