I wonder why the I-153 doesn't have a in-game cockpit. Thought that only applied to Bombers and german aircraft. Is it the same with the Po-2?

It is the same with the Po-2, and so is it with all other aircraft axis or allied that you will unlock in the game, if they are not part of a same type of airplane (yak 1, 3, 9 etc).

I'm not complaining, but the truth is, out of the box, there were cockpits ONLY for aircraft used in the campaign mode. The lack of cockpit didn't apply to german planes only.

biplanes usually have huge amounts of lift- two wings you see. this gives them greater manouverability than most monoplanes. the greater speed of monoplanes by WW2 meant biplanes were obsolete.

Yeah that was what I assumed.

I never had the engine cut out on me. Is it only on sim, or what. And why? Is it because like the WWI planes it didn't have it's own starter?

I got the po-2 today and used it in CTA and it totally dominated. I landed once then I circled the runway like a buzzard and when someone would try to land I would drop my bombs on them. Haha this plane is fun, only one wish for me is I want a forward gun on this.

It would probably be a serious pain in the neck to fly, if it had a forward firing gun. If you read the specs of the plane, you'd see why. But they could always have your pilot armed with a pistol? Just like in WW1, the planes used rifles and pistols to shoot at one another. Didn't work well, but it was a shot :P

That would be something to see in IL-2 :P

I still haven't unlocked the po-2 even though I've been dying too. The I-153 became my easy favorite as soon as I got it, and I can't wait to see how the other bi plane handles.

I took the po-2 out for a test run in training mode, spent about 10 mins sightseeing and completely ignoring the A.I. which was also in a po-2, with no forward firing guns I didn't see hoe it could hurt me, then, I landed in a field and it bombed me!
