Nice to have new additions But in preliminary research. Its an early war ride which could only compete with the 109E up to 3 K
did great against other 1930's aircraft
Its largest asset seemed to be that it was often used to ram other planes (like the collision model needs help)
Other then that,near as I can tell. It was a piece of junk.
Oh well. another target for me.
"When the Germans invaded Russia in June 1941, the I-16 was still Russia's most important fighter and, in spite of being obsolete, well over half of the 7,000 built were flown in action until 1943. One of the most startling uses of the tiny but rugged fighter came ramming attacks. Pilots were taught to hit the tail surfaces of German bombers, then bail out. In theory, the strength of the I-16 would allow the pilot grace to bail out afterwards.
If German pilots decided to out maneuver the I-16 in dogfights, which invariably bleed off speed, they were usually caught by surprise as the Russian pilot quickly got the upper hand. However, against slashing climbing and diving attacks, the I-16 was in trouble. "

Also true for almost any air combat, isn't it? Don't fight to the enemy's strengths, exploit their weaknesses.
