Description

The I-185 (M-71) in the garage


The I-185 (M-71) is a Rank III Russian fighter with a battle rating of 4.3 (AB/RB/SB). This aircraft was introduced in Update 1.41.

The I-185 (M-71) is a monoplane with a Shvetsov M-71 engine, the plane is fitted with 3 20 mm ShVAK cannons mounted at the fuselage of the I-185. The left cannon has 140 rounds, right cannon 170 rounds, and the top cannon 250 rounds. The fuel tanks of the I-185 are self-sealing and located in the fuselage and in the wings.

The I-185 (M-71) is a dedicated Boom and Zoom fighter for its battle rating and needs to always keep its energy levels at a good level to hunt down players.

Pros and cons

Pros:

  • Once engine injection upgrade has been purchased, the plane has a brutal climb rate (close to 28 m/s)
  • 3 x 20 mm cannons NOSE MOUNTED have decent amounts of ammo (for Soviet standards) and have workable damage output (note that all the cannons have different ammo counts)
  • Great roll rate, comparable to that of Fw-190s
  • Surprisingly maneuverable at higher speeds
  • Able to safely dive up to 799 km/h IAS
  • The ramming effect of the air at higher speeds significantly help with the engine performance when above the critical altitude of the supercharger gears
  • Has good ordnance options, making the aircraft viable for CAS in Ground RB

Cons:

  • Not a turn fighter, having terrible turn against most opponents
  • Top speed is nothing special when compared to most USA aircraft, but is still better than most Spitfires and most Japanese aircraft
  • Combat flaps in break when above 380 kp/h IAS
  • First supercharger gear is just for show, losing engine performance after 500 to 800 meters altitude! (And being replaced by 2nd gear at 2000 meters)
  • The first supercharger gear is SO BAD to the point of the aircraft using the second supercharger gear when parked with idle throttle (of course in Automatic Engine Control)
  • Second supercharger gear only lasts up to about 3.5 km altitude
  • MASSIVE loss of engine performance after 4km altitude
  • Performance is only "workable" under ~5 km altitude

History

Describe the history of the creation and combat usage of the aircraft in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too big, take it to a separate article, taking a link to an article about the vehicle and adding a block "/ historical reference" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/Name-vehicles/historical reference) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to include links to sources at the end of the article.

Media

An excellent addition to the article will be video guides, as well as screenshots from the game and photos.

Read also

Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example,

  • reference to the series of the aircraft;
  • links to approximate analogues of other nations and research trees.
