Is there a plane list available for battle of Moscow?

The P-40 is completely justified in this scenario: these aircraft helped supplement the regiments which had huge losses of i-15/i-16

The P-40 also performed well against BF:

In January some 198 aircraft sorties were flown (334 flying hours) and 11 aerial engagements were conducted, in which 5 Bf-109s, 1 Ju-88, and 1 He-111 were shot down [6]. These statistics reveal a surprising fact - it turns out that the Tomahawk was fully capable of successful air combat with a Bf-109. The reports of pilots about the circumstances of the engagements confirm this fact. On 18 January 1942, Lieutenants S. V. Levin and I. P. Levsha (in pair) fought an engagement with 7 Bf-109s and shot down two of them without loss. On 22 January a flight of three aircraft led by Lieutenant E. E. Lozov engaged 13 enemy aircraft and shot down two Bf-109Es, again without loss. Altogether in January two Tomahawks were lost-one shot down by German antiaircraft artillery and only one by Messerschmitts.

Tomahawk II (AH965) of the 126 IAP flown by Lt. S.G. Ridnyi, Moscow area, December 1941

FWs, on the other hand, only appear at the end of 1942 (in russian front) as far as I know ...

Modelling is much more time- and budget-consuming now than in the original series. I think only main aircraft which were in mass production will be made by the devs now. The rest will be left for 3rd parties or future special addons.

*SIGH* I know you are right about that Ataros but boy am I sick of the usual suspects, 109 version XYZ etc. At least we'll get some Russian planes a la CloD standard to play around with. I hope they at least throw in one or two planes we haven't flown a gazillion times before, I mean, even the devs themselves must be bored in modeling the same old crates over and over again, right? What speaks for some new aircrafts though is that many of the German planes are already modeled so maybe, just maybe we'll get some interesting or odd plane.

With regards to time consuming plane modeling I think that they now have a pretty good framework and routines in which they create new planes and the tools for making them might have been streamlined through the years, a 2005/6 model of an aircraft might only take half the time to model in 2012. The models in this game are detailed yes but state of the art? not any more.
