At 1941 was a commander of 1-st squadron of the 65's AAR. 12th August 1941, group under the command of Krasnolutsky, with 5 planes in the echelon took a fight against four finnish MS.406C-1. M.P.

-The '''Krasnolutsky's I-15bis''' does not have significant armour protection. All the important modules are located in the front half of the fuselage, but the large fuel tank is self-sealing. With all the important modules packed together, well aimed shots will have little trouble causing significant damage very quickly. As such, the  Krasnolutsky's I-15bis must rely on other factors, such as manoeuvrability, in order to increase its survivability.

 Like other I-15 models, try not to go face-to-face against enemies and instead manoeuvre around and dogfight the enemy from advantageous positions. With 3,050 rounds in the four machine guns, greater firing time can be afforded to lead shots into the enemy. As such, the aircraft is quite friendly to beginners with low gun accuracy.
-Keep in mind the Krasnolutsky's I-15bis has a slightly slower turn time than the preceding I-15 models. As such, be wary of rival biplanes that could begin out-turning the Krasnolutsky's I-15bis.

-A single-seat biplane fighter with a composite construction, open cockpit and fixed landing gear designed in N.N. Polikarpov's TsKB (Central Design Bureau). The plane was a modernized version of the I-15 fighter. The developmental prototype of the TsKB-3bis underwent state testing in July 1937, and went into series production in October of the same year at the No. 1 Aircraft Works in Moscow.
