with these, uhmm, old, ugly, rusty, pieces of soviet engineer-art. ^^
nothing against russian weapons - dont let soviet ace read this lol.

I agree with you to a certain degree, it is annoying for them. But when they DO shoot you down they will feel some pride and satisfaction

they will get over it just carry on slaughtering them

i like russian weapons !! until a bi-plane ownes high-end piston fighters... ^^

I've been in some lobbies where the host would not start the game if there was an 153 in it. I didn't use it to win dogfights. I only used it to get its unlocks as required by the rules. It is a cheap kill machine for sure in turn fights, especially in arcade. You wouldn't get me, though!!!!!!

Ah how sweet, you even put it in red lettering for me.

Anyway OP, don't worry about it so much. Russian planes are FAR more capable than they would seem (I mean the I-16 and I-153, the La's and Yak's are obvious.) Either play to the weaknesses of the planes: Climbing, Speed, and diving. (Incase you haven't noticed already, the I-16 and I-153 both have their engines die if you go into a dive without rolling first due to the float carburetor, they were equipped with.) Anyway, if your playing Arcade, it's kinda hard to play to the weaknesses because everyone is flying a Me-163 etc.

So do what FOZ said, and keep slaughtering them because they'll soon learn not to turn with you in a fight. Though most 'Rookies' do end up turning, it's not your fault they do. They're just unexperienced with planes and don't know what to do against such a small maneuverable plane.

in realistic mode or sim the 153 can be fair
first this plane is really not solid:in sim or realistic if u try to fly with it "without great delicacy"(as me i can be idiot)for sure it is an engine failure!!i had 5 crashes in the game of 20 minutes because of it!
second :not much bullets can destroy him
and i find there are not a lot of bullets in the 153 guns
third:it is very slow!!!!!!!!!!
buy i m agree it is the best in tights turns and in arcade this plane is really a terror if u try to engage the dogfights with him !!never do it and maybe u will destroy this byplane!!
i thinks also that it is just a game,for fun,win or loose is not the question just have a great fun and try to progess
if someone like the 153 or spit or blenheim or others planes fly with them and have a fun!!!!
