The description of the SOVIET ARMAMENT INDUSTRY wonder states that:
December 1942 - Discover Mobile Warfare III. Got the message that "T-34/76 upgraded to T-34/85" followed by the message that " --- discovered Mobile Warfare III".
January 1943 - Discovered Advanced Flight IV, the tech for Yak-9. Only got the " ------ discovered Advanced Flight IV" message. Yak-9 appears on the "can build" list but there is no upgrade of La-5's.
IIRC, in normal Civ 2 there has to be a tech advance to trigger an upgrade.
May 1943 - Discover Advanced Research
June 1943 - Discover Assault Artillery
July 1943 - Discover 122mm AP Tank Gun
There was still no fighter aircraft upgrade?
.
I think that there is only a % chance that the upgrade will occur and in some games you may be unlucky and not get one or two at all. I'll check with some other Civ2 forums re the exact effect and post back here, but yes you should have Yak9's now.
