I must protest due to the lack of (https://media4.picsearch.com/is?B7T2yJW1gkrnDGOQvHQyzBdd5UjHt7aF0k0wjFVKymQ&height=274).

There must be (https://media4.picsearch.com/is?coPTdA50u2t0jDf1qgKm-usmAatqSD8z5XHk8aAQuMA&height=229).

This is plane for events! 1942 on Eastern Front? This is plane for this.

Sorry, Arlo. The I-16 was in very limited use by August/September '42. I found no evidence of any air regiments in the Leningrad area primarily equipped with Rata's. They were still there, but not even in squadron strength. Yaks, LaGGs, MiGs, and  P-40s were far more numerous.

Has there ever been a 1941 or earlier Eastern Front FSO? Operation Barbarossa?  Then this event plane will never be used, based on such.  :old:

Yes there have been FSO's with the I-16. There will be future FSO's with the I-16. Have no fear.

I remember flying the Rata in FSO a long time ago. I recall it being surprisingly effective.

Good to hear. I remembered flying them in an event and actually getting a 110 kill (talk about overjoyed) but I thought it was a regular scenario. Now that I think about, though ....

This was back in my reckless days before wearing tri-focals. Guess I just wanna fly the Mosca since I was one of the oddballs that advocated it's addition to the plane set. I will look forward to flying it when it comes up.

(I really do think the FSO design teams do good work.)  :salute :cheers:

I love the I-16 and may be its biggest fan, but there is simply no place for it in this setup.

Understood. I'll be looking forward to it.

Perhaps Mosca (non-cannon) vs. BF109E (closest avail) in Spain.  :D

Trust me, we have some crazy ideas...just have to convince the FSO population to fly them :)

Uhhh, the c205 is a poor substitute to the MiG-3. Maybe if both WEP and the 20ms are disabled it would work.
MiG-3 314mph sea level
          398 at 25k
          2 12.7mgs, 1 7.62 mg
          3450 fpm climb at sea level

C205   332mph at sea level
           2 20mm canons
           2 12.7mm mgs
           3900fpm climb at sea level

Wing loading is comparable
39.87 for MiG-3
41:21 for C205

The 20mm are disabled in this design.

C.205's speed at 25K is 400mph

Hp/Lb is .18 for the MiG and .19 for the C.205

These plane are very similar.
