[@command_unit7792]

The I-153 wooden construction made most ww2 era anti aircraft ammunation mostly in-effective against it as most rounds failed to detonate when hitting its wooden parts. It made shooting them down particularly annoying for the germans especially during the night and when visibility was poor.

[@Abi-fo7gh]

for AP ammunition yes. this was also noted in the hurricane Mk 1 with its cloth rear frame. however, like said hurricane Mk 1, it would probably have been susceptible to incendiary and tracer rounds.

[@tigrebleu7458]

Good speed, good agility, good top speed and, good sturdiness. If the Ki-10 had better guns, it would be in this top 5! Back in the early days of the game, it was able to hover when climbing up at 90 degrees from the ground! The I-15 is probably the best reserve aircraft in the game.

The I-153 Chaika is definitely the best biplane in the whole game. The ShKAS machine guns (four of them) are all bunched in the nose and given the tiny size of the plane and the fact you can get really close means that you basically go around ramming holes in people!

[@chipsahoyboy5407]

I can’t go wrong with an F3F. It’s simple, but I guess I need to fiddle around with the controls to stop zooming in and getting scoped-locked I guess. I mean, it’s decently fast like they say, and hilarious to fight with since it has guns on the lesser side, making it torture a plane more than kill it. When you do inevitably get in a dogfight, with mine happening on the deck since I refuse to climb just because, then the plane just holds on like a bloody clamp, and bf109s can’t get out of sight, making it a vengeful plane.
