Usage in battles
The ITP-M1 is capable of fulfilling all sorts of roles within the battlefield; thanks to its nose-mounted armament, any shots landed onto any enemy plane will, most of the time, cripple it, if not outright destroying it, while also leaving a lot of room for ground attack. However, the ITP shines against quickly disposing of enemy threats: especially other fighters, relying on a very Boom & Run approach in engagements. However, its 37mm SH-37 cannon is what makes it so deadly: without ammo, the ITP quickly loses its upper hand, but still can deal a blow against enemy aircraft.
Trigger discipline heavily rewards the ITP, spraying should only be done when in doubt or necessity, as it only counts with 50 37mm rounds and 400 rounds between the two 20mm cannons; only one HEI-T round has to land on the enemy plane to cause significant damage, mostly instant fire or even ripping off a wing/the tail. While the Default ammunition belt is armed with both HEI-T (High-explosive Incendiary Tracer, Self Destroying- meant for air targets) and API-T (Armor Piercing Incendiary Tracer- meant for ground, armored targets), one can instead choose to focus on one playstyle by changing belts for the cannon: one being composed entirely of HEI-T (meaning that the ITP loses most of its capability to destroy "hard" targets, such as Medium and Light tanks, without taking any ordnance)and the other being composed entirely of API-T, meaning that shots landed on aircraft will not include the firepower of the high-explosive round. Still, a burst of its armament will deal significant damage, as the 37mm is coupled with two 20mm ShVAK cannons, nose-mounted as well: While it performs best within ranges of around 1km towards a target, the fact its armaments are all nose-mounted means all of the burst's mass will be heavily concentrated. If needed be, taking the Default belt will always be the best choice; leaving room for utilizing the cannon for any target, and as such, being able to fill a multirole approach to the battlefield.
The ITP is not a frontline fighter: rather, its role would be best described as an opportunist attacker, by taking head ons with enemy fighters that are still on a climb, or by swooping in and destroying any distracted enemies, then quickly getting away. Use of WEP should, just as its ammunition management, be limited towards maintaining speed after pulling out of a dive or a quick boost, as continuous use will quickly overheat the engine. It is best to avoid turn-fighting unless the enemy is completely alone, as the aircraft loses a considerable amount of speed in any sort of vertical maneuvers, however it can turn the tide against turn-fighters: but caution is still advised, as many will try and turn-fight with the ITP only as a distraction while backup arrives. Rather than staying in a turn-fight, the ITP can quickly get away from dedicated turn-fighting aircraft such as the Japanese Ki-43-III otsu, a common enemy in its Battle Rating, then circle back when enough distance has been made to try and force a head on attack.
When focusing entirely on a ground attack role, the ITP performs best as a dive-attacker, rather than a low-flying approach, as altitude and speed are the ITP's lifeblood against enemy fighters.

History
Devblog
At the end of 1940, the aircraft designer Nikolai Polikarpov came up with the initiative to create a fundamentally new combat aircraft for Soviet aviation - a fighter with heavy cannon armament, that could fulfill tasks typical for heavy fighters and attack aircraft, while possessing the flight characteristics of a light single-engine monoplane fighter. The military accepted Polikarpov's idea with interest, formulating tasks for the future aircraft, such as effective air combat, including the destruction of bombers, aerial destruction of tanks and armored vehicles, as well as escort missions. The assembly of the first prototype began in May of 1941, however, due to the rapid offensive from the enemy towards Moscow, production had to be evacuated to Novosibirsk, Siberia, where the test unit was completed.
ITP (M-1) (ITP is for “heavy cannon fighter”) was a monoplane fighter with a 1,650 hp M-107P engine, the armament of the aircraft consisted of a 37mm Sh-37 motor-mounted gun and a pair of 20mm ShVAK cannons. Flight tests began in February 1942, but were not fully completed due to engine problems. A little later, versions with the M-107A and the AM-37 engines were tested, on the second prototype, the 37mm cannon was replaced with another ShVAK cannon. Work on the ITP project was interrupted due to the untimely death of the Soviet "king of fighters" in 1944.
