The best nation to start with is the USSR. Russians have the best biplanes, mainly because they kept using them during the early stage of the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945).

In these late ranks, you will have access to the craziest ideas of the Nazi and German engineering, the [[Bf 109 G-10]], the [[Bf 109 K-4]] and the [[Ta 152 H-1]] were the last war efforts of Germany and between the best prop-planes In Game.

'''Rank V (Jets) :''' The [[Me 163|Me 163B]] ''"Komet"'' is one of the first Jets you will have access to and is one of the hardest aircrafts to fly and one of the most impressive along with the [[Ho 229 V3]] and the [[Me_262_A-1/U4_Pulkzerstorer|Me 262 A-1/U4]] ''"Pulkzerstorer"''. The Germans have the most WW2 Jets while Russians had none, Great Britain only one (the [[Meteor F. Mk.3]] which never saw active combat-operation in Europe) and the USA also one that may have been used against Japan (the [[P-80A-5]]).

Soviet planes requires more accuracy than its American and British counterparts, but with accuracy you can easily take down planes using the powerful cannons by the soviets.

'''Rank I :''' The Rank I Russian aircrafts are planes from the Spanish Civil War until 1941. The first plane you should research is the [[I-153 M-62 Chaika]], it's a fun plane to use and probably the best Rank I aircraft. Then the [[Yak-1]] or the [[LaGG-3-8]] who are faster and have a cannon. The Russian bombers in this era aren't good at all, if you really want a bomber research the [[BB-1]] and Su-2s.

'''Rank II :''' At this Rank, all the Tech Trees have a good aircraft to try : Yakovlev OKB proposes you the [[Yak-7B]], the [[Yak-1B]] and the [[Yak-9]], Mikoyan-Gurevitch offers you the [[MiG-3-15]] (the plane of the greatest Soviet Ace Alexander Pokryshkin)and the [[MiG-3-34]] (a low [[BR]] plane with 2 cannons, a simple burst rips a plane apart), and Lavotchkin OKB gives you the [[La-5]].

The [[Yer-2 ACh-30B /Early]] (coming soon) is part of the Soviet Heavy Bombers who bombed Germany. It has a good defence and an important payload. The first soviet heavy bomber, the Pe-8 has a incredible defensive armaments and the ability to carry the heaviest bomb in the game, the FAB-5000 5 ton bomb.

'''Rank IV :''' The Russian rank IV planes are very good fighters but have less and less ammo. Accuracy will define your Survivability. The [[Yak-9U]], [[La-7B-20]], [[La-9]] and [[IL-10 (1946)]] have low amount of ammo, but great fire power. In the bomber tech tree, the Tu-4 is a very versatile bomber, out climbing, out turning and out running the original B-29 superfortress. Its payload and defensive armament is the first in the game.

'''Rank V (Jets) :''' The rate of fire of the guns increases, the ammo count decreases. The [[Il 28|Il-28]], the [[MiG-15]] and the[[MiG-15bis]] are the highest planes in terms of [[BR]]. They have only a very few seconds of firing, and the low velocity on the of the guns (especially of the NS-37) decreases the chances of hitting the enemy.
