Funny, I was just talking to my friend who owns BoP (Thanks to my constant annoyance of telling him to buy it.) But anyway, this was a real problem for the pilots of the Red Air Force, but they took it as a bit of an advantage. Which was the top part of the windscreen, they would use to identify their targets, fly close enough and then once they turned towards their target, their gunsight was filled with the enemy's plane, and they could just tear into them. I did and do it all the time, works fine. But besides the weak forward view, I think besides the Yaks and Las, the I-16 has the best overall view to the sides and above.
