The I-180 is an experimental pre-war further development of the renowned I-16 fighter, intended to offer much improved performance over its predecessor. The I-180S, a production version of the aircraft built only in limited numbers, will await War Thunder players as one of the prizes obtainable in the upcoming ”Battlefield Engineer” event!
Briefly: A fast and highly nimble Soviet fighter design, intended to replace the I-16.
Development of the I-180 began in 1938, with the Polikarpov design bureau starting work on creating a new aircraft to meet the requirements of the Soviet Air Force at the time. In order to do so, engineers decided to base the new machine on a modified I-16 design and to install a more powerful radial engine. As a result, the I-180 was created. However, development and testing of prototypes was plagued with numerous issues, including many accidents. This, coupled with the arrival of new Soviet fighter designs quickly cast a shadow on the I-180 project which ultimately led to the project being cancelled by the end of 1940. Prior to the cancellation, a production version of the machine - the I-180S - was built but only in very limited numbers. In total, around 13 I-180s were built, including prototypes, but none saw any active service.
More powerful compared to the I-16 radial engine allows the aircraft to develop quite a decent speed for its rank: the I-180S is able to reach a very impressive top speed of 585 km/h at medium altitudes.
Apart from great flight characteristics, the I-180S won’t disappoint its future owners in terms of firepower either, as its armed with a pair of both 7.62mm and 12.7mm machine guns - such weaponry can literally tear through aircraft in low ranked battles. The premium status of this vehicle will provide its owners with pleasant bonuses.
Consider yourself a propellerhead? Then be sure not to miss out on adding this unique experimental Soviet fighter to your collection by participating in our special event!

The video says I-180C, is that just a typo?
looks... good. but to be honest im starting to get really annoyed about these ''trophy'' vehicles. they are now so common its almost no point introducing in anything....

This is war thunder porn! they just put together into a hangar one small Chaika with one Lavochkin, close the lights and here's the Red Prodigy.
I love the Polikarpov's so this will be a must for me!
war thunder put 1970 and high tanks and planes now they put old planes huh that really bad they have to put more old tanks and planes then the new planes and tanks they war thunder just putting 1970 tanks and high why they don t care about low BR and older tanks ??? older more cool
I sure like the L-16 template, and sure hope that I'll get one of these!
