- In today's video, I have a single match that I played in the I-225, and It turned into a fight for my life. Luckily, the I-225 is fully capable of handling multiple vs. 1 situations at high altitude, so I was able to keep my advantage and fight until the end of the match.
Thanks for watching!

P47D28’s engine also performs INSANELY well at above 5500 meters. It actually almost becomes unstoppable
Yeah the 5.0 P47s are also great picks for high altitude, but I personally enjoy the I225 more because it has better acceleration and climb, and 20mm
@@MacWithGun Have you flown the P38L by chance? The twin turbosupercharger and slotted flaps make for a deadly combo, plus lots of ammo of both 50 cal and 20mm in the nose
@@christopherchartier3017 made a vid on it!
Great situational awareness all the time :))
That thing feels like a prop Mig-15 with that much power and that much compression haahahah
Thanks! Also that’s oddly accurate, you can fight however you want, but getting shots on people is the hard part.
Still annoying how the devs model compressibility correctly on I-225 bit not for every other plane
This plane has a bf 109k4 engine performance at 5.0, but it sucks because it has no high-speed handling.
This plane is anything but bad. As long as you avoid compressing, the I225 is top 3 on my list of 5.0 props in the entire game.
@MacWithGun yes this plane is indeed insane what are your other favorites?
@@benjaminvleugels5609
Bf-109s - G6 and K4 are my 2 picks
Fw-190s - D9 and A1
Yaks - yak9U and yak3

La-7
@@MacWithGun oh I still have to unlock those 109s but I love the Fw-190 d9 and a1 as well. I also love the La-7 probably one of my favorite planes in the game. Some of my other favorites are the j2m2 and the C. 205 series 3 and series 1
Tupairofaces here, it's got 5.3/5.7 performance at 5.0 it should not be able to face 109f4 fighters at all. The only problem it has is it has so much horse power and acceleration that even diving for 4 sec out of a stall you'll start to compress
Yeah the plane is too fast for its airframe, and can start compressing in a straight line, but besides that, this plane is extremely good and I wouldn’t have a problem with an increase in BR.
@MacWithGun btw, I was the guy who killed you in the 4b when you where squaded with rmax in the hornet. gg's that was just in game banter, you know how it is. I just like to fuck around a Lil bit:)
@@MacWithGun I like to do a little ceres trolling:)
@MacWithGun it started out at 5.7 but because of the average iq of a war thunder player it got lowered to 5.3 3 years later then it was lowered to 5.0 either lat year or the year before, I can't remember.
Nice ! So you've gotten about a 100 kills in that thing, congrats !
It's a pain to fight at high altitudes, even with something like the Ki-83, simply because it won't stop climbing until it overheats or the pilot dies lol
Very well done anyways, it's even more impressive when you're alone !
I have 3 things to say:
1. Not every pilot can survive and win that situation you were in, very nice fight!
2. I also used to have that aim with the Yak-3, I think I am getting that aim back.
3. Good job man! +1 sub.
one day i hopped to my match with my friend with this thing, saying, "oh hey if i get 5 kills i get to 200 kills with this beast", he died in his 2nd dog fight, i remained the last one and started to get kill after kill until i ended up with 6, i simply love this thing
One of my favorite Soviet planes, and for good reason 😁
It’s a unique but very fun plane 💯
awesome video man! you have any plans to try some low tier planes? with your skill id love to watch you fly like a 2.0 BR plane. keep up the great work!
Thanks for the support!
I don’t usually fly low tier planes, as it feels like bullying people who are new to the game. The lowest I normally go is 3.0, which has the 190 a1, which I could make a vid on in the future.
@@MacWithGunYak-1B at 3.0 feels very dirty, it flies like a smol Yak-3 😂
This happens when you dogfight with Sputnik plane.
Been wanting to try out the I-225, but i've been avoiding it cuz of the bad overheating problems i kept seeing on videos covering it. After seeing yours here tho, what are your MEC settings for it?
When not in combat situations, I recommend having prop pitch set to 97-98%, and then the full 100% for most combat situations, as this doesn’t decrease performance too much while really helping the engine cooling.
You should be able to leave the radiator on 75% for at least half the game, go higher if needed.
The real problem is the oil radiator. I would keep this on 90-100% for the entire game, but it still overheats.
Also, keep in mind that I wasn’t overheating this game because was at high altitude and on a cold map, which helps engine temps.
The I225 is one of those planes that is good at almost everything it does, but the only drawback it has makes it a pain in the ass to play. Compression is very annoying in any plane.
If this plane didn’t compress itd be 5.7 at least
please do more videos like Defyn
Watch Defyn if you want videos like his.
Thoughts on running the F4F-4 Wildcat for a video?
I don’t do low tier often, so it most likely won’t happen, sorry.
how do you handle the mixture in that thing practically?
For most planes, I leave the mixture untouched, at 60%
Once you reach 6km and above, you should start reducing the mixture around 8-10% for every km of altitude you gain above 6km.
An exception is P-47s:
85% prop pitch, 90% mixture.
@@MacWithGun yeah. wanted to play all the thunderbolts really intensely for some time, but they are just not meta anymore…
thanks for the info, Mac
good music bro! too bassy for mbr ? nice energy trap's
what is the advantage of using flaps at 10:25-10:30? Doesn't it just slow you down?
In that situation, I was firmly on his 6, and I kept my flaps down to pitch up for the shot faster and make the shot easier. The i225 has plenty of power to keep accelerating even with flaps fully down.
@@MacWithGun ahh makes sense, thx. great video btw
Where g10
Been busy with school and working on vids, haven’t really had time to make a g10 vid yet
:(
Very valid good luck with school king!
