Re: Battle for Kiev 1941: VVS order of battle
I personally still believe that it was the Bryansk Front which flew in Defense of Kiev. Why do you disagree?
Starting from your OOB-doc of Bryansk-Front, it was widely inferior to the german II&V Fliegerkorps which supported the Heer.
Here are the soviet numbers, already simplified for the game PF:
10 I-153
13 I-16
44 MiG-3
25 Yak-1
26 Il-2
40 DB-3 (added them as support from AAD-forerunner)
24 Pe-2
18 Sb
25 Su-2
33 U-2 (incl. others like R-5)
SUM ca. 260
versus ca. 500 Luftwaffe combat AC (Bf109F, Ju88, Ju87, He111 + Recce).
Any more input?
