Your English is excellent and thank you for the sneak peak!

By tiny russian plane you mean the I-16.

Trust me, you can fool a lot of noobs to turn-fight you online with that sucker and get some easy kills.

Mixed blessing. A skilled player will just BnZ you without you being able to reply, but it has to be said there are more noobs than skilled players out there.

Which is why MP is going to be hit and miss for a while. It's going to be fun to know the last thought of the noob before he respawns is, "Where the hell did he come from?!" Still... I relish the challenge, so hopefully it will pick up soon.

I think that is the I-16 version with 2 20mm cannon and 2 7.62mm MGs. More than enough firepower to kill fighters, and the cannon have a lot of ammo.

Actually my knowledge of the I-16, is that it only had 4 Machine-guns. I don't think they ever equipped the I-16s with cannons, but they could have on the Biplane versions: I-152 (Something like that?)

But I meant the part in your post, where the noobs outnumber the vets That's what I meant by the massacre statement

EDIT: The I-16s did have 2 20mm cannons, but it didn't work well. That's the info I got about its statistics.

Didn't the I-16 Type 17 have cannon? I'm sure there is a cannon equipped I-16 in the PC Il2s, and the shot I've seen of an I-16 showed it shooting with what looked like cannon.

Anyway, a small number of wolves and a lot of sheep when it comes to online, though I suspect most of the noobs are going to stick to Arcade and Realistic.
