Request made for Yak-50 in SoW
 

I liked the video of the Spanish-based Su-26s (in another post) a lot. I asked Oleg to consider including the Yak-50 in SoW if time and resources permitted in future. He said that he may consider it after SoW is launched - depending on how busy his team is.

Although the Yak-50 is outclassed by the very impressive Su-26 now, it does look a lot like a WW2 fighter. It was also designed by the son (Sergei) of Alexander Yakovlev - designer of the WW2 Yak-1, 3, 7, 9 etc fighters.

Wanting a warbird lookalike (albeit a poor man's warbird) is the main reason I chose to buy a 50, and then paint it in the same scheme used for my IL2 aircraft! In time, I hope to get a helmet camera to film both aerobatic flying and mock dogfights against other aircraft.

In the mean time, if anyone is interested in seeing a photo diary about my new toy, visit http://yak50.blogspot.com.

I think the YAK-50 is a very little and neat aircraft. It is has a high 'coolness' factor and it is quite reachable for the ordinary man to fly in it. Perfect :) 8)

Sounds like a warbird too - with the radial engine's deep "chug chug" noise. ;)

I heard that Oleg flies the Yak-52...

Yes, I think he still does fly one.

Advanced modellers, whe was making planes for Il-2 or for Microsoft FS will be able to put themselves any new sport plane.
With intial release will be only one from us.

Yes, I was learning on Yak-52.

That's great to know, I hope SoW gets a good population of such sporty aircraft. :D

Err... someone told Yak-52?

I don't want to repeat myself, but I have another video about it:

I also love this plane! :)

Oleg, can we remove "Battle of Britain" title from Storm of War, so there is no confusion from including a YAK-52 in the game, thanks.

Yes this is a tad sarcastic, but all these people with a "wish list" for aircraft are starting to annoy the crappers outta me, the title has been decided - can we let 1C get on with gettting the first one out before making demands of them?

I think he should leave this "pure" military flight sim. Maybe he should use the engine and bring out a Aerobatics version for those who wish to fly like that.
