Yup.. doesn't look like a ShVak cannon version.
I didn't realize the cannons were in the wings when I posted that. :o :lol

I can pretty much guarantee you'll see at least 1 pottering around in the LW arena's - that'll be me.

a doubt your going to see many in LW  :devil

I'm pretty sure we will see more I-16s on LW than in EW, where it's usage will quickly fade away in the face of the ubiquitous Hurricane II with quad Hizookas...

Simply not believing my eyes! :O

AWESOME!

Now, with the fun these two planes (I-16 and Brewster) can offer in the AvA for example. I hope more and more people will see these "early war" planes as a good thing! :)

Replying to both you and Lusche:  My speculation is that if the I16 doesn't scrub its E too quick in maneuvers, it'll be more than a novelty counter to the Hurricane IIc.  All the I16 would require is proper ACM, which trumps most of the guys crutching with the IIc.
