i dare you to try it...up an i-16 with the weakest gun package cut the throttle back so the plane doesn't fly faster than 125mph level...see how well it works out over a gv battle. but then even the i-16 can take more machine gun damage than anything people are thinking they want for "spy" planes.

I've forced augers while flying a goon.  I got two in one dogfight one night.  An Aeronca would be easier than that.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Thanks for all the comments and suggestions I HOPE WE GET A SPYPLANE!  :noid :noid

 :D

Problem is it's a spotter plane, not a recce bird for taking pictures.  Since we don't have artillery to spot for, it becomes kinda pointless.
