The I-16 type 18 Ishak is a Soviet level 2 Prop-plane.

The I-16 is armed with 4 ShKAS 7.62 mm Machine guns. From behind, they can inflict massive amounts of damage - even threatening bombers and top-tier planes. The I-16 can be armed with four 50 Kilograms bombs or four 100 Kilograms bombs. Although noted as a light fighter, the plane acts substantially well as a bomber.

It should be noted that the pilot is extremely susceptible to being killed due to the I-16's uncovered cockpit, allowing for enemy shells to inflict damage.

Some pilots have noted that the plane has a tendency to subtly pitch to the left during flight. For some reason on War Thunder the I-16 has no flaps, Yet it is common knowledge that it did.
