oh & please, have the Polikarpov_Po-2… want to do the 588th!

To me, Il-2 deserves a squadron release, not a proxy.

[Jesse]

My assumption would be that the Il-2 will get another version released as a model. Similar to what they did with the Stukas, they had the D model released as a mini and had the earlier B model released in the Luftwaffe expansion deck.

The early Il-2’s were originally single seat aircraft and then they were later updated to include an observer/rear gunner position. I’d prefer the latter as a model if I could only pick one.

so not too bad a guess Nat

Pe2 is there as a late war bomber option, Pe8 is a bit rare but a heavy bomber so they Sovs will be able to have options in the new Air Strike scenarios, LaGG3 and Yaks to complete the fighter line up.

No Sewing Machines – they’re pretty useless in BRS and a bit too niche. There was some chat about a biplane card set some time ago and if that ever happens they will probably be in there.

We couldnt find a twin fighter that justified inclusion – the only real candidate was the Pe3 but it didnt make the cut
