w00dy 67 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 So I'm going to buy Battle of Moscow - Premium Edition and Ten Days of Autumn in the sale. But I can't make my mind up which other collector plane to get, Yak-1b or Ju 52/Зm. I already have BOS - Premium Edition on steam so have the Fw-190 and La-5, so what would people recommend out of the Yak-1b or Ju 52/Зm? Link to post Share on other sites
MAGNUM_PT 48 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I would say it depends on your playstyle and the type of person that you are. Do you prefer fighters or digfight action? Then the choice is obvious and the Yak is the clear winner. If you prefer the scenic view, are looking for diversity or you are more of a collector, then the Ju 52 is probably your best bet. And you already have a version of the Yak anyways. Link to post Share on other sites
216th_Jordan 1283 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Both! It's sale anyway No really, they are in no way comparable. Ju52 is unique in its behavior and gameplay, Yak-1b is a very potent fighter (due to better prop and aerodynamic optimizations quite advanced from series 69 Yak-1). Link to post Share on other sites
CanadaOne 1979 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I bought the Yak-1b last week and it's a ton of fun. Just bought the P-40 a few minutes ago. Gotta love 6x.50 cals. Link to post Share on other sites
Tuesday 331 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I bought the Yak-1b last week and it's a ton of fun. Just bought the P-40 a few minutes ago. Gotta love 6x.50 cals. You will soon learn to love and hate the P-40 at the same time. August can't come soon enough! As a bonus for us, it's got an RCAF skin Link to post Share on other sites

SCG_Space_Ghost 1965 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 What would sinned say? :-D By purchasing the Ju 52 you're directly contributing to the failure of the genre! /s 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Finkeren 6032 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 It depends. If you want something truly unique that you can fly in some fairly challenging missions in the campaign, go for the Ju 52. If you want the easiest to fly, most effective Soviet fighter, which is great for MP but which cannot be flown in any campaign yet, choose the Yak-1b. Link to post Share on other sites
Danziger 2530 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Honestly I fly them both about equally. Link to post Share on other sites
=VARP=Ribbon 1099 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 For MP role and combat oriented yak-1b is way to go..... Both are unique planes but i would go for yak-1b and later you can buy ju-52, it won't run away. I like them both but yak-1b gives a lot more usage in this sim, at least at this moment.

As a bonus for us, it's got an RCAF skin Bonjour et bonne Fete St-Jean! Yeah, the P40 is a bit of a pig, but I do like that RCAF skin. What would sinned say? :-D Something detrimental to my fragile sense of self-worth. And he never wished me good flying after I bought the Yak. Now I'm sad again... 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Oh no, let me be the a$$hole to bitch about guys not activating gift keys. There are still 2 Ju-52 gift keys I bought on December 17, 2016 that have not been activated. [edit: The Devs informed me that all keys have been activated...so apparently there is an issue with License Keys page of my profile. Clicking on individual Order IDs on the Order page show two Ju-52 keys not activated.] Edited June 23, 2017 by busdriver Link to post Share on other sites

w00dy 67 Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) Wow have I opened a can of worms with this post I will only use the plane for single player,as don't play MP. Edited June 23, 2017 by w00dy Link to post Share on other sites

There are still 2 Ju-52 gift keys I bought on December 17, 2016 that have not been activated. I'm looking at you Scarface1 and Raid3n! [edit: I've submitted a ticket to regain the ability to gift those to others. Hopefully support can make that happen.] Does it tell you if when the person activates them if you sent a key? So far everything I've gifted including a premium BoK only says key sent. I find it hard to believe someone wouldn't activate a premium BoK. Link to post Share on other sites

Those two Ju-52 show key sent and the key field with asterisks, all the other gift keys (including two more Ju-52) actually show the license key alpha-numerics. Oh well.

Feathered_IV 6965 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I'd get the Ju-52 first and the yak second. Link to post Share on other sites
Gambit21 5396 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I'm working on 3 more Ju-52 missions for "Pelicans" So there will be 8 total in a few weeks. I might revisit it again on the Kuban map eventually, but not before a few other Kuban related projects. Link to post Share on other sites
sinned 131 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I am extremely pleased to see culprits attempts to redeem themselves by promoting. Good work. Please continue. You have a lot of sales to meet before asking for another transport. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

sinned 131 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Wow some derailing of a thread! A il2 user who is looking for good advices in planes is tainted by those who rant on another user. Where is that double standard dude who cries admin rules only when he sees his dislikes. Funniest loons are yourselves folks. Well i guess it explains the genesis of a product that these loons asked for. Link to post Share on other sites

Danziger 2530 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I love the Ju-52. It's a fun ride. I have no regerts. Really hope we get the Li-2/C-47. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Feathered_IV 6965 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Flying a C-47 in the Pacific would be a great challenge for those who enjoy the flying and navigating. Did Daks fly supplies to Midway? Link to post Share on other sites
ShamrockOneFive 3653 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Both? The Ju52 is fantastically put together. What a great aircraft to experience. The Yak-1B is absolutely a killer fighter and a ton of fun to throw around the sky. Link to post Share on other sites
76IAP-Black 231 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Yep go for both! I was one of the lucky guys who has recieved a Ju-52 as a gift and when all goes well i can purchase later the Yak-1b for myself and send out a plane as a gift too! Link to post Share on other sites

oppolo 2 Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 I bought today ju 52 because is something different in this game. it needs a particular mind approach to have fun with, cruise speed is 240 km and make a 350 km mission could be boring, being a game I was hoping to find some strong turbolences or some enemies for going in the turret, anyway I dont regret and now is part of my collection 1 Link to post Share on other sites
w00dy 67 Posted June 26, 2017 Author Share Posted June 26, 2017 Well I think I will get them both. It was going to be a late fathers present from my children and wife and didn't want them to spend much, I will get them to buy me Blazing Steppe as I am really enjoying Ten Days of Autumn. And buy the 2 planes my self, so a win win for me really. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
