AF Scrub Polikarpov I-152 for CFS2.zip 2024-05-03

With the successes of the I-15 biplane against the Japanese Mitsubishi A5M monoplanes during the Sino-Japanese War, the Soviet Government was encouraged to increase production of single-seat biplane fighters in relation to that of the co-existing monoplane fighter types. Polikarpov's design team began immediate development of the new I-15bis (I-152). The I-152 represented an extensive modification of the earlier I-15. The distinctive "gull" shape of the upper wing was replaced with a more traditional "straight" wing supported above the fuselage by a pair of "N" center section struts.
