Wiki

The Polikarpov Po-2 was an all-weather multirole Soviet biplane, nicknamed Kukuruznik, NATO reporting name "Mule". The reliable, uncomplicated design of the Po-2 made it an ideal trainer aircraft, as well as doubling as a low-cost ground attack, aerial reconnaissance, psychological warfare and liaison aircraft during war, proving to be one of the most versatile light combat types to be built in the Soviet Union. As of 1978, it remained in production for a longer period of time than any other Soviet-era aircraft. It holds the distinction of the only biplane to take down a jet aircraft.

Features

Armament

Beware

NOT INTENDED FOR HIGH SPEED. Upon airspawn or at high speeds (160kph+) it pitches down heavily. Heavy trim or pitch input may be needed to correct this.

Can stall VERY easily. Do not pitch up too much, especially on takeoff, unless you plan on meeting the ground.

Landing: do not brake too hard unless you want to have you plane standing up vertically.

Merry Christmas, happy new year, hope you are all having a wonderful time. Happy flying! And thank you all for 4k points! 1000 away from gold!

    @ComradeBazookaBall no idea why the names were different, the Po-2 was originally called U-2, I guess they just like random names
