The Po-2. Pointless or not?
 
Let me just describe the Po-2 in a few words:
Slow
Weak
Pathetic
It at a push can reach a speed of 300 which any other plane can do without 2 mins of WEP.
It can have a maximum of 300kg of bombs which isn't enough to do anything whatsoever.
It is weak, any other plane can kill it with ease (apart from the bombers, although that depends on the bomber)
Its armanent is purely for show. It starts actually doing some damage with your opponent within 300m. This range is appaling and the aforesaid weakness means that this gun will be unlikely to do anything before it is engulfed in flames.
I think that sums it up.
Does anyone think that this really has a place in the game. Its a biplane!

(PS: They disintegrate when you hit them with rockets)

If your sneaky enough and your team are good enough to cover you then its handy on CTA

Pointless same with 153 yeah it can turn fast woohoo if your not a complete tard you just run from it then turn around and head on with it its weak it loses head ons 9 out of 10 times

the Po-2 is just an all around fun plane to fly. Flying information with friends. I got my moneys worth out of the game just with it flying around.

In the right hands any aircraft (except Arado) including the Po-2 or I-153 can beat an opponent in CTA games. Especially in 1 vs 1 or even 2 vs 1 games with the odds stacked.

they are fun for beach parties ( free flights with landing everywhere on the map ), are decent in CTA, even had had an all PO2 dogfight one night.

Got to disagree I think the 153 is weakest 1v1 all you have to do is run till your about 2km out then turn and head on repeat over and over it really takes no skill at all many a player has gotten mad at me for winning then challenged me 1v1 against a 153 thinking I would try to turn with them lol they were the easiest games to win run turn gun repeat
