This reduced speed by quite a bit, up to 20 kph in some cases.

Wonder if they'll model this in BoM. Should be a part of the game.

Of course, I-15's and I-16's didn't have the problem since they only had the glass windshield.
Seems we had a lot of soviet Pilot flying during BoB, at least for the first two years of it

Btw good post of you just above
