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)...

However it needs to be taken in account from which series is the aircraft. Early La-5s might be inferior to later La-5s and the same goes for F and FN, there were big differences in performance as quality of production and materials improved.

yes, it's what i saying here too, but not all understand this...

Russian aircraft are not too popular sadly despite the focus of the sim

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)...

Regarding other russian aircraft - we have more spitfire models than Il-2 models while the sim bears the name Il-2.

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...

I've also proposed several times that a simple adition of full metal late Il-2 type 3 could be at least included in the sim and would make valuable adition.

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...
