Jun 30, 2004 #166 the lancaster kicks ass Major General 19,937 17 Dec 20, 2003 well if they did want to convert it for fighter use they would re-arm it..................
Jun 30, 2004 #167 L Lightning Guy Master Sergeant 2,511 4 Apr 29, 2004 Wouldn't have done anything for performance though.
Jul 1, 2004 #168 K koivis Airman 26 0 Jun 7, 2004 In armament, the I-152 was the best, being armed with 4 7,62 mm ShKAS-mgs (firing 1800rpm) and later 2 20 mm ShVAK-cannons!

Jul 1, 2004 #169 L Lightning Guy Master Sergeant 2,511 4 Apr 29, 2004 But of the three aircraft we are considering as 'contenders' (I-15, Gladiator, CR.42), the I-15 family had the worst performance figures.

Jul 1, 2004 #172 L Lightning Guy Master Sergeant 2,511 4 Apr 29, 2004 It may well have, but that would probably have something to do with the quality of pilots flying it. The RAF was considerably superior to the RA and the VVS (at least the VVS at the time when I-15s were in service).
