i honestly can't say my thoughts but you might consider the british torpedo bomber "swordfish"

whilst the most sucessfull bi-plane of the war, it wasn't used as a fighter...........
 
In armament, the I-152 was the best, being armed with 4 7,62 mm ShKAS-mgs (firing 1800rpm) :shock: and later 2 20 mm ShVAK-cannons! :p
 
But of the three aircraft we are considering as 'contenders' (I-15, Gladiator, CR.42), the I-15 family had the worst performance figures.

It may well have, but that would probably have something to do with the quality of pilots flying it. The RAF was considerably superior to the RA and the VVS (at least the VVS at the time when I-15s were in service).
