First one could have fooled me sounded like a tractor engine

From what I've heard, Soviet late war fighters such as Yak-3 were outstanding fighters and easily out manoeuver 190 and 109 at low altitude

But german 109 and 190s were mostly designed for high altitudes (we usually don't fight so high in the game)

Well, Soviet's ones are not considered as the bests fighter of WW2 because of their reliability, problems with engine/ structures...etc Such things that we cannot see in the game. Late war German fighters were much more well built

I love this game!

Hey Soviet Ace, I was wondering if you could point me to a good book about the Russian experience with the P-39&P-63 Airacobra/Kingcobra. The U.S. didn't really use a lot of them but I've read the Russians took most of them off our hands, to the tune of something like 80% of the production numbers. There's so little written about the type in the west, since we didn't use it much, but it's always been a favorite of mine and I'd like to know more about it.
