Aircraft/Loadouts IAR 80 / IAR 81

[SubRyan 5,556]

These are planes used by the Royal Romanian Air Force in support of Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union and later for homeland defense from Allied bombing raids on Romania. They were considered comparable to 109 E models and the aircraft would serve as an excellent premium for the Germans.

[letherneck 2,067]

very interesting plane. would be nice to see it included in the lineup. where would they place it, german or russian tech tree?

Romania fought with the Luftwaffe against the Soviet Union and against US bomber raids in Romania

until some time in 1944 when they (along with several other countries) joined the soviet forces against germany.

Seeing as how the majority of combat operations with this aircraft was on the Axis side, it should probably be under the German tree

that would be using logic. considering the number of paper planes and the captured plane nonsense, one just never knows what will happen.

Personally I believe paper planes and captured planes should be Premium only, Lend-Lease planes being regular Soviet options, and the removal of the P 63 from the regular US tree and made a Premium

[Smin1080p 60,444]

Very nice idea and well presented.

 

Locked and moved up to Documented Suggestions :salute:

I'm also want this planes :)
