Should be interesting, undoubtedly it will be painfully slow, but the turn rate should make it tons of fun.  :aok

Depends on the version. The I-16 Type 24 (1939, most numerous version) carried 2x 20mm ShVak as well  :rock
Cool... I imagine that'd be the one we get, then. May be fairly popular afterall.

i know that motherland i meant i got on their homepage this looks like a relative to the La's doesn't it?
No
In fact, the La5 was developed out of directly out of the LaGG3 (kind of a reverse Fw 190A- Fw 190D deal, they swapped out the Vee engine for a radial)


Redo the B-26...Kind of thought the HE-111 would have been done before this thing, or even the Beaufighter
I would guess they wanted to give the Brewster a historical adversary, they might take it further by giving us some more EW Soviet aircraft so we can have a fairly complete plane set for some scenarios ( :pray )

It's just an appearance.  These three are from three separate development families.

Has anyone ever seen a real I-16?


The closest thing I seen would probably be an La5/7

Whatever armament we got, it certainly isn't ShKAS's.... look at the size of those fairings! :lol

Yup.. doesn't look like a ShVak cannon version.
