- Fly with the 34th Air Defense Fighter Air Regiment (34 IAP PVO).
- Fully replaces the default Mig-3 for all chapters.
- The 34 IAP PVO was not historically a Yak-1 regiment. None of the currently flyable default regiments were equipped with the Yak-1. 

Adds the Early Access Yak-3 Series 9 to the Battle of Kuban career.
- Fly with the 42nd 'Tannenbergsky' Guard Fighter Air Regiment (42 GIAP).

Additional changes:

Version 3:

Adds the Early Access Yak-1 series 23 to the Battle of Stalingrad career.
- Fly with the 11th Fighter Air Regiment (11 IAP).
- The Yak-1 ser.23 fully replaces the default Yak-1 ser.69 for Chapters 1-2.

"In June 1940, the 11th IAP was the first among the Red Army Air Force units to receive Yak-1 fighters, and on August 12, 1940 was integrated into the 24th IAD PVO VVS MVO. In the second half of 1941, the regiment was actively involved in combat missions, providing cover for the city and military facilities of Moscow, and also covered ground troops and staged ground attacks. ..."

The 11 IAP is not a flyable unit in Battle of Moscow, so I chose to integrate the Yak-1 ser. 23 into the start of the Battle of Stalingrad campaign to suggest a continuation of the regiment's combat history.

* Aircraft are coded to use the radio transmitter and M-105PA engine modifications.
* Some mission types are also coded to load the 6 ROS-82 rockets, but these aren't loading into the missions automatically. Arm your aircraft manually before you begin a mission.

Version 2:

Adds the Early Access I-153 "Chaika" to the Battle of Moscow career.
- Fly with the 29th Fighter Air Regiment (29 IAP).
- The I-153 fully replaces the I-16 for Chapter 1, then supplements the I-16 in Chapters 2-3.

"By the end of July 6, the 29th IAP, which was still en route to the front, received a combat mission to provide air cover for the unloading and concentration areas of the 29th Army. The regiment, which was armed with 62 I-153 and I-16 fighters, was divided into two parts with bases at the Domoslavl and Yedrovo airfields. At dawn on July 7, the Far East joined in combat work, operating in the area of ​​the settlements of Vyshny Volochek, Bologoye, Andreapol, Selizharovo. Already in the first days, reconnaissance missions began, covering their units and attacking the advancing Germans. On July 18, the pilot of the 2nd squadron of the 29th iap, junior lieutenant Yukhimovich flew to intercept the Ju 88 and shot it down. This first victory in the regiment was achieved on the I-153 "Chaika." 

"The 29th IAP did a very good job during this period on the distant approaches to Moscow. In just two months of fighting, the regiment's pilots shot down 47 enemy aircraft. At the same time, they were repeatedly involved in the execution of assault actions. ... Active combat work was not easy and inevitably led to losses. At the end of December, 11 I-153 fighters remained near Moscow." [From I-153 "Chaika" in the Great Patriotic War, airpages.ru]

* Note: The I-153 weapon modifications I coded are not activating. Arm your aircraft manually before you begin a mission.

Version 1: 

Adds the Early Access LaGG-3 series 4 to Battle of Moscow career.
- Fly with 233rd Fighter Air Regiment (233 IAP).
- Supplements the I-16 in chapters 1-2. 
- Supplements the MiG-3 in chapters 3-4.
- Replaces the MiG-3 at chapter 5.  

"LaGG-3 did not become a symbol of the battle for the Moscow sky, but the regiments that fought on LaGGs made a significant contribution to the common cause. On the Kalinin Front, fighters of this type even occupied a dominant position, another thing is that there were few of them. Regiments armed with LaGGs operated as part of the Bryansk, Western and Kalinin fronts. As part of the 6th Air Defense Fighter Corps, which was entrusted with the protection of the capital from fascist bombers, as of July 31, 1941, there were two regiments that were armed with LaGGs - the 24th IAP (27 fighters) and the 233rd IAP (in it LaGGs were armed with one squadron - 10 aircraft)."

"In the autumn of 1941, LaGG-3 entered the battle near Moscow. By the beginning of the German air raids on the capital, these machines were available only in the 24th and 233rd IAP. The first regiment, stationed at the airfields Inyutino and Spas-Lykshino, was fully equipped with them, but not all pilots fully mastered the new fighters. The second one had one LaGG-3 squadron, the other two flew I-16s and MiG-3s. As of July 31, both regiments could field 37 LaGG-3 fighters ready for battle."

"The aviation grouping in the Moscow direction on the eve of the "decisive" offensive of the Germans on the capital was intensified - in early October, the Headquarters deployed seven fighter regiments here, including two (524th and 415th), armed with LaGG-3. In the third decade of October, two regiments armed with LaGGs arrived at the Kalinin Front - the 193rd (19 fighters) and the 129th. The entire fighter aviation of the front consisted of 39 LaGG-3 and 17 MiG-3. By December 1, the number of combat-ready LaGGs decreased to 35." [From LaGG-3 Combat Use, airpages.ru]


* Note: This mod should automatically enable the RPK-10 radio navigation instrument modification for most missions. 
* Note: The 8x RoS-82 rockets modification combined with the RPK 10 is coded to the bombing missions, but this loadout does not automatically load.
