Player Opinion

Pros and Cons

Pros:


  • very maneuverable (against stock aircraft, only bested by type 91)
  • I-5bis Chaika is the only Tier 1 plane to have more than 2 machine guns
  • accurate medium-range rockets


Cons:


  • low durability
  • will not survive being set on fire
  • highly vulnerable engine
  • rockets are slow


Performance

This is the first plane the player will have in game and tier one Russian multirole fighter. It is a good starter if you feel the other planes maneuver too slowly for you. It has more health than the Type 91, but less durable. It also has the most machine gun damage (of a 7.62) in Tier 1, only being beat by the 7.7mm guns of the Gamecock & Goldfinch. Its main downfall is a very low survivability. It's average in all other things against other planes. You should know the advantage and disadvantage of your plane against others and use it. They are very light and are easily beat.
New players should be careful when going for head on because the chance that you can't kill your target is high and you will end up with ramming the enemy, it is recommended you practice the head on in battle against bots to have more chance to survive. Agility is the advantage you have here so use it. The rockets on this plane are slow but relatively accurate, with a medium range. You get 1 under each wing. Use them to destroy watchtowers on Foward Airfields, 90mm heavy flak guns, 30mm quad AA turrets, and LShBd bombers at close range. They do not greatly affect your agility. The I-5 is a good example of what's to come in the low tiers: minimal protection, decent speed, low altitude but high maneuverability. Tier 1 light air defense aircraft are always I-5s.


Early Research

1. Get the first engine upgrade. 2. Buy the rockets or the second engine upgrade. 3. Research to the I-5bis "Chaika." Also research the additional guns before mounting the Chaika airframe. 4. Purchase the guns and Chaika airframe together.
