sorry slipped a little off topic, my answer is indeed the FW-190. As it will be very useful on many fronts and theatres.

Have to add to the speculation of it being a 190 too

It's an La5, Luthier has confirmed it on the sukhoi forums.

I-153. The poster in the original thread was confused as to the location of the next addon. He thought it was Stalingrad, despite it being called Battle for Moscow.

@ Dano, can you link us to that? It'd be just like Luthier to give a willy nilly planeset and not focus properly on the period at hand. Hope it's not true.

But of course we DO need a 190 to blast it down with

Yeah...I'd second that,I would love a nice European War sim addon,B17F/G,B24's,Fw190's,Bf109G's,and maybe if we were very lucky the 163 Komet,wow,what a scenario,good call Strike.

I gotta tell ya,I can't get worked up about going back to the Russian front personally,but there ya go.

Its Olegs personal jet........

I think it may be the turbofan part of this new aircraft.

May be olegs personal jet!

La-5 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavochkin_La-5 , introduced in Battle for Stalingrad http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Stalingrad .

I guess the plan is to cover one huge battle per year. For 1940 it is Battle of Britain, for 1941 - Battle for Moscow, for 1942 - Battle for Stalingrad, etc. Then come back to Western Front hopefully.

Pacific is not included I assume due to expensive royalty fees for modelling some (or all) USA aircraft.
