Yak-15

Almighty Blighty · #1 07-26-2009, 03:15 PM

Considering that the russian designers were instructed to make a jet in feb of 1945, i don't think that the plane actually made it off of the productions lines in time for the end of the war. So it is likely that it will be missed out.

Would be nice though, i really like the way it looks- though only two 23mm cannon is a bit weedy, it should make things abit more challenging for people who like a good fight

Would have been an interesting dogfight between a Yak-15 and Me-262?

You can already do that in the PC version (IL-2 1946) with four versions of the Me-262 and one model of Yak-15.

I don't think any of the Il-2 '46 planes are in, I haven't seen anything that would imply they are.

the russians would have made the best aircraft of the war but Stalin had a fear of flying and thought that arresting the plane designers would solve his problem.

The germans had their ME 262 ready for combat in 1942, but because of engine problems they couldn't make it work properly. If the plane would have been flying by 1943, the world of jets would be alot more advanced now-a-days. every cloud and all, if the 262s were flying then many more people would have died. Still, Even if the russians did start designing their own jet fighter, they did not have an engine. The Yak 15 used a captured german design (the junkers jumo i think)

So none knows if it will be in the game... One of the authors could answer this question?
