I played like this once with my max tier USA friend, I was just starting in planes and I had a Zhukovsky's I-153-M62 with rockets and I shot down a MIG-29, it gave me like 1000 research points preliminary. It was very fun going into matches and seeing people notice me.
@@Volti-Vagra I do think it’s an issue with armament. Most have 7.7 or similar as their only options with a few such as the Italian ones having 12.7s. The Italians do have the best biplanes overall imo, but I still don’t think it’s enough
@@Volti-VagraAs far as I know their main problem is a lack of speed. Plus, helicopters can actually hover, which a biplane cannot do.

(there is a record of pilots doing this maneuver in the war. Shit's crazy.)

This happened to me that other day in a custom game with my friend. Me in my trusty 1.0 Krasnolutsky’s I-15bis against his jet that I can’t remember the name of. I don’t see you on my radar. You must be in one of those stealth fighters he says. (Of course I am. I begin my play into the psychological warfare) he sees me and laughs. I try to dodge his missiles. I failed miserably. I respawn. I climb really high. I lie and say I’m flying around the water. He can’t find me (I’m stalking him 3,000 feet above him) He doesn’t believe my plane can fly that high. (I play more into the psychological warfare and tell him that I don’t think I can either.) I begin my dive. He still doesn’t know where I am. (I’m right above him) Since he’s traveling so fast, I have to lead him so far. He says he hears my engine as multiple rounds of 7.62 zip right past him. He can’t believe it. I hit his wing. Then I hit him in a critical area. He catches fire. I fly right past him. I pull up. He can’t maneuver fast enough to turn around to get me. But I can. I send another volley of 7.62 his way. It misses but his engine shuts down. 2 of my 4 guns jam because I fired more than 2 rounds and my barrels melted. It might as well be the wright brothers plane at this point. I fire again. I hit him again but my other 2 guns jammed. As a true Soviet Soldier I use myself as the bullet. I ram into him to no avail because my plane is made of origami paper. I try again. His wing comes off but so does mine. We both slowly fall to our deaths. He offers that we both eject and fight eachother with our sidearms. I refuse the chance to live as I unskillfully steer my shambled plane into his jet one last time and we crash and burn into a fiery inferno.
There’s a general rule of thumb when it comes to fighting biplanes and it’s to never turn fight against one Next time you do this engage in turn fights
Imagine if there was an enemy jet and it just came up alongside him, looked at the small he 51 and just decided you were not worth the bullets and just flew away like in the irl incident of the ye old pub, an American b17 that was spared by a German in a Messerschmitt bf 109
Pros of jets: Fast and big gun Cons of jets: bad maneuverability, pilots can't handle anything more than 9 G's Pros of biplanes: Small, can't be locked on, extremely maneuverable, pilots can handle up to 20 G's, very low stalling speed Cons of biplanes: literally nothing
I used to bring I-153s with rockets into games with Mig-15s (back when they were the highest tier jets) and did manage to shoot down quite a few of them, and way back then the award for doing so is 20k SL and it's pretty lucrative.
that F-5 hitting you at Mach Fuck really didnt plan ahead did he lmfao! "MY plane is heavier than his, AND his plane is made out of Paper! if i ram him, HE will disintegrate and i will live! GENIOUS!" bro forgot that if a ball of Paper hit the ground at Mach Fuck, the ground would not be so grounded anymore lol.
Biplanes are actually good at top tier tbh. Despite their obvious speed, when all your team die and the enemies come towards you looking for the last players you can out manauver them and they will find it difficult to lock you with IR so they are a force to be reckoned with lol
Subbed for that manly giggle. I know the people who take the game seriously look down on it but taking low tier into high tier can be so much fun. I love fighting semi-modern tanks with M18s.
tanks is quite different than air in that regard tbh. This was a great vid and I dont think its fair to say people shouldnt be able to take 1.0 into top tier, because the game lets you. I do strongly dislike having 2-3 teamates basically gone though, considering wins do grant much better RP/SL bonuses. I just wish WT would stop this mechanic, in RB at least. I dont see how it would ever be an issue in AB
0:39 I literally killed one of those with an F-15A earlier today. With a sparrow to the face from 10km......I felt bad but it was my 5th kill of the match and didn't feel bad for long.
I-153P is perfect for this because high maneuverability 2x 20 mm cannons with good damage on HE rounds and normal speed (for biplane). I personally killed 5 jets with this in one round
I technically got a kill on a het in a biplane once, we both went into a headon, i hit them a couple times, they missed me entirely but they had too much speed and as they trued to turn arround they crashed lmao. I did not take out a jet, but i got credit for ones death
I love how this popped up in my reccomendations today after I was destroying people with my little British biplane I affectionately call my crop duster. Albeit the BR difference was only like 1 but...I did better in a freaking biplane than I did in a proper fighter plane.
I am proud to say that i have a mig21bis kill with my rank 2 J22A, i crit them, followed them as he circled around thinking i could keep up with their speed, then crit it again, set it on fire, follow, and he crashed after one wing came off. It was shooting flares like if i had technology or something. Lucky i even have a 12mm cannon
the only documented jet taken down by a biplane happened in the Korean war because the jet tried to shot down the biplane but couldn't because he was too fast so he slowed down in an attempt to shot it, only to stall and crash
Me and my friends actually did this as a strat to grind silver. We weren't good enough to reliably make the battles at our own (admittedly low) br, so we'd load in with reserves and biplanes to go for whatever the punching up achievement is, the one that gives a few thousand silver for killing a plane that's of a significantly higher br. Even if you only got 1 kill, you didn't have repair costs which made it economical. To cap it all, biplane have great maneuverability as compared to the faster planes can can outturn many things.
The fact that most heat-seeking missiles cant even lock onto biplanes, let alone track one properly, is just so funny to me
get within 1km, even an aim-9e can track a propeller plane; aim-9l and r60ms have no problem obtaining lock from 3km
