Hello Piotrek, taking a look at photographs it seems your aircraft needs both a solid nose and adjustments to the upper fuselage to remove/cover up the gunner position, not quite straight forward to do I am afraid to say. ;)

The nose glazing does not use alpha cut windows as far as I can see so would need to have the open areas blocked up, most likely I think a new nose would be the best answer.  The turret parts could be removed, however, the hole would need a new mesh made to blend the fuselage to the rear areas, each of these would then need to be mapped to the existing texture and as there is no template available as far as I know that would have to made or a existing skin modified with new lines and such to help it blend in with the existing scheme.

On top of that are there Lods?  I have not looked but if there they need to be adapted for the new solid nose no gunner version. :(

And then there is the new slot and any changes to FM, hooks and so on and so forth. o_O

Providing the changes are all I can see for the 3d then maybe not a mammoth task, however, do not hold your breath waiting for me or someone else to do it at the moment, maybe I might add it to the very long to do list. :o

Take care.

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

apologies if this is the wrong place for this -

seems as if this plane is far too fast in level flight. Historically it seems it did not exceed 300kmh, but i had a lot of trouble catching it in I-15bis.

This is the problem for many other aircraft!  ;)
Get a plane and be a wingman... you'll find it hard to stay close to the patrol leader!  :D   :D

well you need to concede the AI some advantages like sniping you from 1km away or being aware of you as soon as you are close enough to fire otherwise where is the fun.

... I know, that's why as soon as I spot one of those AI cheaters, I return to base as fast as I can, no way that motherfucker is going to down me ...!  8)

A nightfighter version would be nice but did they have radar installed? I dont see anything on the wiki. A strafer version would be cool if solid nosed and loadout changed or maybe maritime use fitted with torpedo and shackles
