yes thats the one just came accross it when i was making my list

Lavochkin La-11 (Fang)

La-134 - Prototype Designation; based on the Lavochkin La-9.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
La-134D - Second Prototype Designation; increased fuel and range via improved fuel tank space and underwing fuel tanks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
La-11 - Base Production Fighter Designation

also you could add

Tupolev SB-2 and the Sukhoi Su-2 bombers

I would like the Swordfish torpedo bomber in there to add a bit of attacking variety when going on Strike against ships. Not much use if you are attacking ground targets though, although I am sure a torpedo dropped on a bunker would make quite a hole!

Would be nice to have the La-9 or La-11, but both unfortunately weren't built until 1946 and 1947. Besides, they were both inferior in Vertical and Horizontal flight compared to the greatest Soviet prop fighter... the Yak-3!!!

Well, if it were a torpedo bomber being put into the game, I have 3 suggestions....
1. TorBeau
2. Sparviero
3. Fiat G.55 Silurante

But I would say the best Coastal Command plane would be a rocket/bombed up solid nosed Mossie.

I would love to see a night fighter mission, with a dedicated night fighter put into the game.

I think a big ass Russian Tupolev TB-3 Heavy Long-Range Bomber would have been cool. I love those on '46. Whenever there used to be a bombing mission with friends and random people, I'd always get my squadron of TB-3 with I-16s on the wings. Take off, bomb the hell out of wherever and then dogfight our way back. (The I-16s, the TB-3's would have them as cover.)

It was pretty sweet, and I think we had more success with it than the Russians actually did.

Hows about an He-177 Grief? Quite cool

hmmmmm could be as bad as a 109 G6 for combustability lol

"The resulting design was a technical innovation resulting in a four engine creation of a seemingly twin-engine bomber and reduced air resistance as a byproduct. The initial DB 606 engines, themselves a derivative of the DB 601 types, proved unreliable and prone to fires earning the aircraft several telltale nicknames like "the Torch" and "Lighter".

[Balderz002]

But if that trait were to be carried out into a game (random engine fires), then they should put in the negative g problem of the early merlin engined machines! That would make dog fighting a bit more interesting!
