Career mode: I-16 won't come back due to bingo fuel


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have noticed that i-16s in career mode are tasked to travel more than 300km. At least this happens in Moscow map in the early days of the campaign. I've tried to lean mixture as much as I could flying this aircraft, but I emptied the fuel tank way before reaching my base on the way back. AI planes crash into ground any time due to bingo fuel, without being shot at all.

I suppose that’s why we’d need a tb3

45 mine flight duration, roughly a 150KM radius I think. It burns fuel quickly in combat so don't want to be hanging around on the end of that rope too long.

Was reading somewhere that the operational range is something of 800km...

Maybe when loaded on the back of a truck...a radius of about 200 km is the best ive got so far...

Ferry range is about 450 km with full tanks.

Guys, take into account that it's fully loaded with two 100Kg's FABs most of the time.
