The Po-2. Pointless or not?

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)

It's an old plane, first flight actually occoured in the mid 1924, that's why his flying performance might seems inappropriate for ww2. I definetly LOVE this plane, try flying it in CTA ( with one field only to capture ) you will me amazed how many kills you can score bombing landed enemy. I always score more than everybody else while flying that becaue faster planes always too busy to hit each other while i can sneak behind the trees at 140 km/h and land in a sec. Super fun!
