IAR 80 Battle of Moscow?

[Iskander]

Is it just me, or is the IAR 80 not available in Advanced Mission Generator for Battle of Moscow, Summer or Winter. I thought they participated since the start of Operation Barbarossa? They don't appear until Battle of Stalingrad for me

The product description of the I.A.R 80 says the following:
"In addition to Quick Mission Builder, Advanced Quick Mission Generator and Multiplayer modes, you can fly it in Career mode during Battle of Stalingrad (Grp. 6 BoPi ARR and Grp. 8 Vânătoare ARR) and Battle of Kuban (I.A.R. 80-A in Grp. 3 Vânătoare ARR and I.A.R. 80-B in Grp. 4 Vânătoare ARR)."
Since Advanced Quick Missions are bound to certain details of the chosen map, I suppose these aircraft are only available in those maps where the developers assume that they were used.
And yes, I have checked and you are correct, the I.A.R. 80 only is available in Stalingrad and Kuba when using the Advanced Mission Builder.

Ah I see, maybe it is just something they overlooked? I use PWCG for career/campaign and it has not been updated yet so I guess I will just stick to Stalingrad quick missions. Thank you for the reply

IAR 80s were only involved in operations along the southern sector of the Eastern Front, hence why they don't show up on the Moscow map.

Ah okay, thank you for letting me know!
