Just noticed the flaperons. Will its roll rate suffer with those lowered?


(BTW this is officially the coolest update for AHII yet :D )

And will this be armed with ShKAS or UBS machine guns?

It will probably be one of the tightest turning aircraft in the game, but it wasn't particularly fast (even for an early war aircraft) and was only armed with two 7.62 ShKAS or .50 UBS machine gun.
IIRC this was the first low wing monoplane with retractable landing gear.


Historically it was pretty much meat on the table for the Bf 109E. It'll be interesting to see how it does in game.

New aircraft won't come out until the update is released, and they will all come out at once along with the terrain/lighting overhaul.

Depends on the version. The I-16 Type 24 (1939, most numerous version) carried 2x 20mm ShVak as well  :rock

Looking at the photos too.. The rudder is the size of a barndoor, and ailerons are about 3/4 the length of the wings... Probably turn and stop on a dime.. Combined w engine torque, I'll bet it has a SCREAMIN rollrate... And overall the thing is TINY!!!   I can imagine shootin at one as it squirms and bounces all over the sky,
Holy smokes!!! LOL!!!

20/23mm cannon? OH YEAH!!!! With that, I might like it better than my Wildcat...

Redo the B-26...Kind of thought the HE-111 would have been done before this thing, or even the Beaufighter
