Germany's CAS-8:
1.Unit names:
- Thanks, BobDinosaur! I'll definitely put them in the next release.
2. Reason for Army Artillery?:
1. Or I could update the file myself, though I would want your approval on a few things first.
2. This also upgrades the HQ to have power similar to an infantry division, making it more useful in the field, particularly on the attack.
Soviets, Germans, UK and the USA have been checked so far, with the Soviets just being finished today. Japan, Canada, France, Italy and maybe Australia remain, though Canada and Australia will be mostly similar to the UK.

Fighters
INT 1937 Polikarpov I-153 An improved I-15 with powered retractable gear (one of the first or the first fighter to feature this).
FTR 1938 LaGG-3 (Poor airspeed, but heavy armament- 2*7.62mm, 2*12.7mm and 1*20mm guns, all in the nose)
INT 1940 Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-3 (Designed as a high altitude interceptor, had very poor armament, a tendency to spin and a tendency to catch on fire.)
FTR 1941 Lavochkin La-5 (Development of LaGG-3 with a radial engine and other improvement.s)
INT 1943 Lavochkin Yak-3 (A smaller, faster Yak-9.)
FTR 1944 Lavochkin La-7 (Faster, better armament.)
INT 1944 Yakolev Yak-15 (A Yak-9 with a Jumo-004 in the nose and a pair of 23mm guns on top, along with the Yak-17, it was used to acclimate pilots to jets before the mass production of a proper jet fighter.)
FTR 1945 Lavochkin La-9 (See La-7 and apply here.)
INT 1947 Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-9 (First real jet design, with twin engines and an intake that would see use on the MiG-15. Armed with 2*23mm and 1*37mm cannons, though the prototype used a 57mm gun!)
FTR 1948 Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-9 (This is mostly a filler entry, keep it or leave it.)
INT 1950 MiG-15
FTR 1951 MiG-17
No decent fighters aside from the evolution of the La series and the MiG-9 (which had plenty of shortcomings) until the MiG-15 really.
Escort fighter ~1947 La-11 Long range evolution of the La-9. Poor performance above 6000 m.
Transport 1948 Ilyushin Il-14 Replacement for the Li-2 (Soviet produced DC-3). Oddly enough, the DC-3 was used by the Japanese as well.
Tac
TAC 1951 Ilyushin Il-28
The Il-28 was really the first jet bomber the Soviets had. Their jet engine technology lagged behind the west until the British gave them several Rolls-Royce Nene engines in a gesture of goodwill. Stalin was stupified by this, along with the engineers who suggested asking. :rofl:
CAS
Dive 1938 Sukhoi Su-2 Ivanov
The Su-2 was capable as a dive bomber, but was more limited in dives than the Ju-87 or American models.
CAS 1938 Sukhoi Su-2 Ivanov
CAS 1941 Ilyushin Il-2 Sturmovik (Most produced aircraft ever, with ~30,000 built.)
CAS 1944 Ilyushin Il-10 Sturmovik (Faster and more manueverable than the Il-2, with later versions having 4*23mm cannons, up from the Il-2's 2.)
No real CAS designs after this that I can find, Il-10s were used in Korea, though they were easy prey for UN Fighters.
