It appears that Oleg was actually sued at one point and had to remove several aircraft from the game and pay to model others.

I believe the trouble came when the use of the manufacturers name in print such as "Grumman" F6F Hellcat. Had something like F6F or just Hellcat been used I dont think the case is ever made. Thats what I gather from all the speculating rumors over the years.

S!
