I-16 I give a 9.4/10

La-5FN 9.7/10

La-7 9.5/10

Yak-3 10/10 Besides the canopy, they really hit the spot with accuracy on this plane.

I haven't gotten it yet but what is wrong with the canopy?

Well, it has a Yak-1 canopy. Now I know they couldn't make every canopy etc. but it's just kinda sad because they added the cockpit which is on every Yak besides the Yak-3. The Yak-1,7, and 9 all had a mullion, which is the metal strips in the canopy in front. The Yak-3 didn't have that, which increased the forward visibility for the pilot. I'm sure they could easily put the Yak-3 canopy in a DLC!!

Yak-1B Mullion


Yak-3 No Mullion


As you can see, the Yak-3 pilot has nothing obstructing his forward view.

The planes look accurate. But what the heck is wrong with the Me-262. I know it wasnt the most nimble of birds but really.... its worthless in the game.

It really was that junky. Speed was pretty much its only asset. (Which is good for us, otherwise the MP would turn into "262s of Prey")
