Country:  | I've gone too far with this one to give it up. I'm on 93 kills! I like the La-5 it's fast and the two ShVAK 20mm I love.
Playing that game makes me think 2*20mm is enough for armament. And the game is supposed to be realistic...but you can't really say "Well, I've play on Il-2FB + AEP, and on that game it quite clearly shows that..." blah...blah..blah...

Country:  | The only campaign ive stuck through to the End was in a 190D-9, 52 kills after 28 sorties.
I think ill carry on with my USMC campaign with the P-39 tonight...The trouble is that every sortie is the same - Patrol out to Midway, encounter 8-10 Zeros, pick oneor 2 off then fly home  I want a Corsair!

Are you sure the comment was made, '...don't try and turn with this plane...'? Not, '...avoid it...'. | Yeah I find this hard to believe also. From what I have read I have found that the I-153 although she was fast at 280mph (for a biplane that is) she was rather unstable and unless you were an experienced pilot you would not have stood a chance against a Bf-109 or even a 110. Early 109's such as teh B, C, and D versions flew against early 153's such as the I-15bis and such and clearly showed the 109 was superior.
The 153 was quite maneavuerable and with an experienced pilot I would be weary of it in a Bf-109 but would not hesitate to engage it.

Country:  | One of the few Americans that flew the I-16 said that if you could fly the I-16, you could fly anything. That was back in 2000 or 2001, when they first brought the I-16 to Midland for the main CAF show.

Country: | Yep, at Midland that year they flew the I-16 and a 153 together! I have only seen video of it, I wasn't there.

| I wouldn't choose the I-153. If it was such a good plane why did they covert it to a monoplane e.g the I-16.
I also wouldn't chose the CR.42 because it only saw service because the italian airforce wasn't much.
That's why I chose the gladiator because of its defence of Malta proving that although a biplane it must of been quite good to serve in the more modern RAF. | |

| The I 153 is the clear winner. Its faster, climbs better and has more powerful weapons. | |
