Я думаю данное выражение не совсем подходит в данном случае.Сообщение от SaQSoN
Конечно И-97 заметно превосходит И-16 с М-25В по маневренности и не уступает по скорости, но проблемы с прочностью конструкции при пикировании делают борьбу с ними весьма несложной, при соблюдении определенной тактики. Да и вооружен И-16 получше, осбенно если учесть "легкую" конструкцию И-97.
McCambell нашел себе один в 44 году аж
During the September 12-13 strikes on the Philippines, He shot down five more planes, and learned about the capabilities of the 'Nate' - a small, open-cockpit monoplane, slow and lightly armed, but highly maneuverable, advanced trainer. McCampbell had bagged two Zeros early in the day, and was heading alone toward a rendezvous when a Nate attacked him from above. It pulled out of gun range without damaging McCampbell's Hellcat, but McCampbell wanted the kill. He dropped his belly tank and put on full WEP, but kept losing ground. The Nate's student-pilot saw his advantage and began an overhead pass; but McCampbell dove for the deck. In his after-action report he noted "1) Nate is even more maneuverable than Zeke. 2) Nate can out-climb F6F at 110-120 knots airspeed. 3) This 'operational student', if he was usch, will have no trouble completing the course." By the end of September 1944, McCampbell had shot down nineteen Japanese planes.
