The Crystal Ball

But still ... Given the insane amount of detail these models have to have spending development effort, as in manpower and therefor money, on a type that came a good six months after the final act in "The Battle of Moscow" had been sung (if we were to follow the international historians and consider the timeframe of "Typhoon" and the soviet counter offensive as the background for BoM) it puzzles me a bit. I mean we do have so many types that need to be modeled for the setting I described (Bf 109 E-7, F-2, F-4, Ju 88 A-4, He 111 H-3, H-4 and H-6, Hs 123, Ju 87 B-2, I-16 Type 18 and Type 24, I-153 M62, Il-2 Model 1940, Yak-1 Model 1941, MiG-3ud, LaGG-3 ...) I don't really see the resources for that ... Unless, of course, MG has pulled our leg with the title and it does stretch 1941 and 1942 (although I really doubt that).

Exactly.

My bet is on the Yak-1 for this friday, and the BF109F

It will probably be a Russian plane, since they are from Russia. Mig 3, Early Yak, maybe an early war Bomber?

I still want a flyable cargo plane, like a ju-52 or c-47 to expand gameplay possiblities and resupply bases, troop transport, ect. Or water planes for scouting and anti shipping missions. I love the obscure "crap" planes and I know the devs do too.
