The problem isn't that it's hard to beat or anything, it's just that the tactics required make for a very boring game. And people just want to play their standard-issue descending furball, and the 153 is a very cheap way of exploiting that play style.

I don't mind it much in Realistic or Sim, it's way too slow and you'll only get a lot of kills if people try to outturn you, which they usually find out is useless and stop doing after 1 or 2 tries.
Heard it's overpowered in Arcade though.

I stopped flying them very early on because it felt like cheating (Arcade)

I don't really have a problem with them now. Just accelerate away turn around wait for them to start climbing to do one of those ridiculous turns, and then try and cut them in half with a quick pass... Very satisfying when it works

Personally I have more of a problem with IL's in TB's and DF's. I make a point of killing them first..

Bi-planes are for girls.

Bi-planes armed with rockets that fly like they aren't?

Even girls have more pride than that.

The I-153 looks so great in dogfight because players have to engage to score. It's possible to bnz them without being shot at (much), but the graphics are a bit too limited for them to be visible at a far enough distance.

If the target camera worked in aviation mode, it would be easier to kill them.

One five what?
Sorry been a long time since I saw one of those.
Nobody on my friends list stoops so low!

Yeah what sucks is you when you tryand BnZ against them and get a faceful of rockets. Congrats, that's some mad skills there

I think you may be compensating.
