Polikarpov U-2VS, question

[Avyx]

Does this aircraft have a chance against Fokker D Vll, Sopwith Dolphin, or some other Flying Circus aircrafts? 

I like this plane and I'd like to purchase it

Thank you

It's not a ww1 airplane and it's not a fighter plane, it's probably a bit slower than ww1 fighter planes.

Just a trainer converted into a makeshift bomber and a decent one at that if AAA is inactive or has been mopped, I actually like how slow it is for rocket attacks because you can score direct hits pretty easily.

Let's be real this plane is not competitive at all but it can be fun.

I keep getting told to adjust the mixture but AFAIK there is no obvious measure to do this against (RPM display, exhaust flame colour). So does anyone know what sort of mixture is appropriate for low level flight?

If the RPM drops reduce the mix a bit and it should go back up, that's how I did in ww1 planes.

Thanks, guys 

I don't want to open another thread : does anyone know something about the FC release date?

Some pictures with the map?

As to the Po 2 in WW1 scenarios, think of it as an RE 8 or one of the early German AEG two seaters.  It works well in that role in a WW1 scenario.  Just be aware that it has a more modern gun for the second seater. 

 

Set up a mission in the QMB with you flying the WW1 fighter of your choice against an AI Po 2 armed only with the tail gunner.  It will tell you all you need to know.

If the mixture is too rich, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhausts.

     I was taught that to control the mixture in light aircraft that did not have variable pitch props, you took off with the mixture at full rich. During climb and at cruise altitude, you set the mixture by reducing the mixture control while watching the tachometer (R.P.M.).  You would observe an increase in r.p.m. until optimum mixture was reached. At that point, the r.p.m. would start to drop or decrease and you would then increase mixture slightly to achieve the highest r.p.m. at that throttle setting.

     This method works in Rise of Flight and in IL-2 Strumovik Great Battles with the u2vs.

Okay, I'll buy this plane, it looks so good.

Thank you

By the way : what about my last questions, on this thread ?

I believe that info is as yet unavailable. 

All I can tell you is Ugra Media are working on the map.
