out of curiosity will there be any point fueling up or will you have shot each other to pieces before we can even scramble? :-P

just having you on chap :)

Lol!

Oh you can fuel up... You won't need to fuel up enough to make it home though.

Little point in that. ;)

It would be a good idea to see if there is a way to jettison your landing gear too... Also little point in having that.

Na the yanks tend to shoot first, ask questions later hahahahaha.

I'll find out what their operational zone is prior to the mission starting then i'll steer well clear or take a well earned day off that particular day lol

:P

That's some good news hehe, I think yak-3 will also be the plane for me!

The Yak-3 is for everyone who has always wanted a nimble, light, and fast dogfighter. Also a good plane at the controls. :cool:

So, probably going to go down in your favour, at least at first:)

Only 3 days to go for the European launch:D Better start practising with the Yak-3 in Il2 1946 then........

When are you guys getting the game in the US?

First response:

When you and me fly against one another, the skies will always end up Red. I mean, it would become some weird color(s) if you won :P AND FLY THE SPITFIRE MKIX!!!!! I always wanted to shoot down an Englishman in his own national plane :P

Second reponse:

I'm buying it tomorrow or the 3rd, so don't worry. Me and my little Yak-3 will be ready for you. We're always ready for you. ;)

I dont want to be the nay sayer about the Yak but I just never liked the plane, maybe its because of the Il2 1946 Multiplayer and everyone was the LA or the FW. Ive tried using it many times it just never did what i want it to do. Maybe i was just doing it wrong.

Well as of right now it seems that I alone am the yank wing. I hopefully can get a couple of my buds to join soon. They're decent flyers too. We'll even attempt not to shoot you down when we're flying on the same side... Maybe. ;)

I meant I needed to start practising with the Yak-3, but okay. I've been flying the Yak-3 some over the las couple of days and it seems a very good plane. Its either that or the Spitfire IX, so I'm gonna try them out vs each other.
