Great flying! It's so nice that they created U-2 for this sim! I've bought that plane at least 5 times and gifted away.

Sorry guys, does anybody know how many km can fly a Po-2 with 100% of fuel?

Online or off?

From specs:  Flight endurance at 500 m: 5 h, at 90 km/h IAS, 1300 RPM.

450 km using theses settings.

This is one of my favourite planes of all time. Bought BOM last weekend to try out a flight sim with my newly acquired joystick and this is quite something. Will definitely look into getting the Po-2 from next salary. I've been using the Il-2 as a trainer and can now somewhat reliably take off, land and perform basic manoeuvres in it, but a Po-2 would sure feel more appropriate for the role.

Today I got to demonstrate the awesome tank busting power of the U-2VS on the Finnish server... okay it might of been an assist thanks to the Tankies in the area, and my accuracy left a lot to be desired and I might of killed my engine when flying through debris on the final pass but still. I consider it definitive proof of its tank buster credentials.

My first and only shot on target!

Feel the wrath of the Motherland...

Witness the devastation (he's definitely dead and not 'rofling')

Now off to paint the kill mark silhouette on my next U-2VS.

Looks like the bombsight might come. Digging around on the ru forum I found this

 

I hope it's still on.

 

Have a nice day.

 

[Monostripezebra]

Oh, bombsight would be nice!

 

And remember to stay true to quality!

 

[Monostripezebra]

And some fighting against tiger tanks online.. I got one tracked and one a bit damaged, no full kill..but still very fun

I have not flew for a long time on Po-2. Can I land and take off (after landing) anyware on the map now?

I remember, when Po-2 was released it wasnt possible (stucks on the ground outside of airfield) but how It looks now? Its possible? In the last year it was DD about update for ground. Im not sure that they released it or not yet.

That was released and it worked. I haven't really done that since I tested it after the release though. Give it a shot.

Thx, ok I checked and yes, it looks like it works. It takes longer after full power (I even thought it was not working), but after some time the plane started to move and  began to accelerate. Finally I was in the air.

Just some ambulance footage... (and secret fieldmod in game wishes)

I'm shocked it could get off the ground with that much extra weight and drag.

I completely agree with you but I think I would already be glad if ever we get the bombsight working.

 

Have a nice day.

I recently started flying the PO-2 and my poor bombing results brought me to this topic.

So, to see the bomsight (a cutout on the right wing) you need to man the gunner position and lean over to the right.

As I understand from what was posted here, as it is now, the bombsight can't be used. Does that mean that you can't look through it while flying or that you just can't work the system/needle to assist with the aiming?

I got the impression that some guys can look through the bombsight mid flight, but from what I can see, after you reach 50km/h the invisible wall (airflow) pushes you in and you can no longer see the bomsight in the right wing. Does it work like that for you as well? Is there a way to lean further and be able to see the target through it?

A pic on the ground, and another mid-flight. That's the max I can lean over.

Wish they did something like the ww1 bombsight as a placeholder. Its not always so easy to divebomb when max speed is like 180kmh and light machineguns is enough for serious harm.
