Survivability and armour

Modifications and economy
Armaments
Offensive armament
The ITP (M-1) is armed with:
- 1 x 37 mm SH-37 cannon, nose-mounted (50 rpg)
- 2 x 20 mm ShVAK cannons, nose-mounted (200 rpg = 400 total)
Trigger discipline heavily rewards the ITP, spraying should only be done when in doubt or necessity, as it only can count on 50 rounds for the 37 mm cannon and 2 x 200 rounds for both 20 mm cannons. Still, a burst of its armament will deal significant damage, as the 37 mm is coupled with two 20 mm ShVAK cannons, nose-mounted as well. While it performs best within ranges under 1 km from its target, its nose-mounted armaments will limit the dispersion cone. Taking the Default belt is a compromise allowing to use the cannon for any target and fill a multirole approach on the battlefield.
- SH-37
Only one HEI-T 37 mm 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 (Armour-Piercing Incendiary Tracer- meant for ground, armoured 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.
Suspended armament
The ITP (M-1) can be outfitted with the following ordnance:
- Without load
- 2 x 100 kg FAB-100sv bombs (200 kg total)
- 4 x 50 kg FAB-50sv bombs (200 kg total)
- 8 x RS-82 rockets
- 8 x RBS-82 rockets
Usage in battles
The ITP-M1 is capable of fulfilling different roles on the battlefield: thanks to its nose-mounted armament, it can perform aircraft interception while also having the potential for ground attack. In aerial combat, the ITP shines at quickly disposing of enemy aircraft, relying on Boom & Run tactics in engagements. Its 37 mm cannon is what makes it so deadly: any shots landed onto any enemy plane will, most of the time, cripple it, if not outright destroy it.
The ITP is not a head-on oportunistic fighter: rather, it relies on planned Boom and Run passes, by attacking enemy fighters that are in a lower energy state, or by swooping in and destroying distracted enemies engaged in tunrfight. 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. Avoid turnfighting as the aircraft loses a considerable amount of speed in any sort of vertical manoeuvres. Rather than entering a turnfight, the ITP must maintain a high speed to quickly get away from dedicated turnfighting aircraft such as the Japanese Ki-43-III otsu, a common enemy at its BR, then climb again and plan another Boom and Run pass.
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 guarantee to survive enemy fighters tailing it.

Pros and cons
Pros:
- Powerful armament, can destroy even the most armoured air targets with just a small burst.
- Quite manoeuvrable.
- As a premium aircraft, has better SL and RP multipliers.
- ShVAKS have a high rate of fire
- 37 mm cannon can load Armoured targets belts, capable of penetrating up to 60 mm of armour.
- In addition to the 37 mm cannon, can carry bombs and rockets, allowing to to be useful in ground battles.
- Minimum fuel load is 30 minutes.
- Great climb rate, can manage 30 degrees with WEP.
- From a distance, can be mistaken for a MiG-3, allowing you to take the upper hand.
Cons:
- Liquid cooling system is located in the wings, allowing it to easily be hit.
- Only one 13 mm steel plate protecting the pilot, can easily be pilot sniped.
- Forward acceleration isn't very good compared to other aircraft of a similar BR.
- Engine overheats at 100% throttle.
- 37 mm cannon is inaccurate, making it hard to use.
- 37 mm cannon overheats after just 6 shots.
- 37 mm cannon has a rather limited amount of rounds (50).
- Repair cost is noticeably high in RB/SB.
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 armoured 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.
