Ok so i've been in for a couple of spins with the I16. First impressions is that its fun.
I had no idea about pitch settings or anything but I've found that take off requires full throttle and about 89% prop. This seems to put it into "boost mode" according to the tech info.
Anyway its pretty stable on the ground. In fact I would say its the best to handle of all the aircraft. Not sure if its the devs getting good at the FM's or that "russian bias" is again present here (i mean come on FW190 is terrible).
The I16 does have toe brakes but they are weak. Take off is easy about 1/4 right rudder is required to keep straight, its acceleration is pretty good and rotate is around 200km/h but high I found for bombs and what have you. Landing gear is hand wound so it takes approx 30secs to retract and delpoy. Flaps take forever to lower to land. Stall seems to be 155km/h, its also very bouncy, but then that might be BoS.
Its nimble with rudder applied first into a turn then bank its very agile and turns are tight, so tight. In pure turn fight this thing is going to win.
I tried ground attacking but AI AA 3.7 is way too accurate, sniper accurate. So i've crashed at least 3 times now, it seems very fragile but then again that was 37mm hitting me.
Its loads of fun and I think this will be good for shits and giggles if we could fly as a squadron in MP.
Notes: Its near impossible to see the instrument panel so its more feel then anything else.

re 1.104 - a note from Mastiff - beta tester
not sure if you guys are aware I'm beta testing these updates as they come up for release, let me tell you; this one is going to really be good, 1CGames with partnership 777 Studios; is going to get it done. They are going to definitely take a look at tweaking the models on a lot of the aircraft. They may say there not going to take a look at it now but they are going to revisit some of them.
we will know by early 2016 if the game continues or Il-2 suffers the curse of Cliffs. I hope not. I don't want this genre to be the end of IL-2. Please lets show them some support and get with boss I guarantee you will love the new summer maps.
