I'm surprised the jets are not used more

Well seeing that the Po-2 is a bomber/recon plane, and not meant to dogfight. If they did have a forward firing gun, it would just add weight and considering the plane is like a WW1 plane, it would need a really light MG to be placed, not like the WW2 heavy MGs like in many many many, fighters etc.

Well..yes. Hence, my point

I think he means in game terms, not reality terms. The bombs, at least in terms of taking out Strike targets, are absolutely pathetic, and since there's no point in an unarmed (or near-unarmed) recon plane in the game, it does seem kind of pointless.

Woo-hoo!

I think the important distinction that needs to be made here is this;

Game - for fun
Reality - not for fun

All the games I host (which is pretty much every game I play as I get bored looking for games) is 1946, so if you come to my game, please leave complaints at the door! (not you personally it was an open statement)

wish there were more games like yours mate

the point i was trying to get across

Yes, but games are played in reality.

What we need, is a squadron set up only to fly He-126 Salamanders! Me-262s and Me-163 Komets just seem to be very broad in most aspects, the He-126, just seems to be more flexable? I dunno.
