The Po-2. Pointless or not?

[irishjg10]

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.

Ahhh the days of free flight.

I miss free flights, i love them!! More so than combat.

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

that won.t win you a cta game mav. only dm and tdm. i was refering to cta]

[mavrickandgoose]

Yeah it will just stay out of firing range when they land kill them trust me you don't have to land to win a cta

I-153 can be useful but the Po-2 is just so slow and rubbish. By the time you first get to the airfield your opponents have landed on it, captured it and taken off again.

It might be of use in a CTA but there are other planes that are better, like the Spifire XVI which is fast, fairly maneoverable and has about the sam bombload as the Po-2.

P.S. On the subject of free flights, landing next to the Brandenburg Gate is HARD! But worth it! Its even got a little ramp in front of it on the forested side which you can use to jump it.

You would be surprised. It can out manouver Most planes if used right. I good pilot would counter act that. I have my fair share of kills with it. In 4-4 games on sim its a beast for me.

It can be dangerous in big games where it can sneak up on you in 1v1 it's a complete joke
