| my god, ther's only one possible answer THE BEST BIPLANE is the I-15.
Even german Bf-109 pilots in spain looked like this    when another I-15 escaped their cannon because of their tight turning | |

Country:  | Tight rolling, you mean. The I-15 wasn't an amazing tight turner, but the roll was amazing as most Bi-planes have good roll rates. The I-15s fell easy prey to 109s.

Country: | If I'm flying the I-16s, the 109s don't stand a chance. My first two kills were 109E4s on AEP. And it just went up and up from there, until I got injured and after a short stint in a P-40 was injured again and put in a La-5.
Here's some nice pictures of the Cr.42:

| well,.. if i fly a bf109 against a biplane, i use my speed to get away, turn aroun, and shot. this u do over and over again, thill you blow of one of the wings.
anyway, u cant do a standard dogfight against a biplane, just cuz a biplane can fly very slow and can turn tighter as a 109 (at least, thats what i know, if its wrong plz correct me  ). so then u would shurely lose in a 109.
