The Best Biplane Fighter of WW2

[cheddar cheese]

Only cos there was a British plane in it

[digitaleagle]

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

[plan_D]

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.

unlike I-16s..............

and playing PF at CC's place, i was in that gladiator that isn't a gladiator it was produced by annother country or summit, i was shot down (well i ejected) by a CR.42 which then went on to shoot down a ace Bf-109

[plan_D]

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.

I say the best was CR.42.

[cheddar cheese]

Good man

[the lancaster kicks ass]

no, the galdiator!!!

and it's winning in the poll...............

The gladiator was a great biplane !

[cheddar cheese]

The CR.42 however, was better

[Soren]

Yeah in some ways, but it isnt as pretty !

[cheddar cheese]

How can you say that?! Look at it, Beautiful

[toffigd]

The CR.42 was aerodinamically perfect amongst other biplanes.

[plan_D]

Yeah, and my pictures of it were better. COLOUR, well one was.
