BoM: Wonder if they'll model the poor Soviet Plexiglass?

First battles with La-5 were far from a success, Yak's had to ESCORT them because of poor performance and Bf109F-4/G-2 outperforming them in every way almost. Excessive workload for the pilot in La-5, undercarriages suffering breakages etc. List goes on and on. Stalin said: Quantity in itself is quality. Go figure.

What I expect to see in sequel are those TsAGI values with polished, stripped and seamless planes etc. The so called paper numbers which very few, if any, production aircraft met. The Russian FMs in IL-2 were already copy/paste in many planes..
