    The flying Tank Buster is also a bit of a Tank it's self with the damage it can soak up. It can take a ton of ton of punishment and still keep the pilot alive.

      Using IL-2 as a fighter isn't that much surprising considering:
      1)P-47 is much heavier aircraft. It has slightly more powerful engines and much shorter/thinner wings though ie better aerodynamics;
      2)good pilot on IL-2 had a few tricks up their sleeve to combat fighters. Problem was in surviving long enough to learn that and general low training of IL-2 pilots;
      3)that early IL-2 had its gunner removed due to time and engine constraints... which got thousands pilots and soldiers expecting air support on the ground killed. So don't cheap out on essential features, kids;
      4)it's one of the very few adequately armed soviet planes that was used irl en masse for majority of the war. Most soviet "fighters" have pathetically light armament. Especially in case of those armed with 37mm motor cannon that was hard to aim for everyone, but aces;
      5)irl there were two evolutions of IL-2 - fat IL-8 and "more of the same" IL-10.
      So all in all, IL-2 CAN be made into adequate fighter if you split the project into two, with light bomber and with multirole fighter-bomber with cut down wings, no rear gunner, properly hidden landing gear and internal bomb bay akin to YaK-9B. Would be a real monster;)

      Actually, in game it's one of the best fighters at it's br in ground rb. Because noone climbs there, it's wings have a huge surface area, allowing it to outturn most fighters and the 23mms OHK anything. And the gunner-less 1942 is better than any of the Ms, due to it not wanting to constantly fall out of the sky.
      Also, I would like to disagree about 4). Sure, soviet fighters didn't have amazing armament, but by far not pathetic. Most actually had better guns than the bf109.

      except by the time they've appeared in numbers they were fighting FW190 or late BF109's. When yankees flew with 6-8 HMGs, brits with 4 autocannons and nazis with 4 autocannons plus 2 HMGs, soviet pilots had to survive in mad setups like 1 autocannon(and you'd be lucky if it won't be 37mm with overpowering recoil, low rate of fire, small ammo supply and ability to warp its own barrel whenever it wants) and 1 HMG. WTF?! Where are mass produced wartime fighters with 6 UBS HMGs? Or 4 ShVAKs? Where are pre-war fighters with more then 4 ShKAS's?!(and before you mention its rate of fire, brits were already strapping 8-12 rifle caliber MGs to their planes to survive and both brits and germans were moving towards autocannons. 8-12 Brownings translates into at least 6 ShKAS. Even if we forget the abysmal lack of reliability of latter). So yes, I call it basically betrayal at what soviet pilots had to deal with. No wonder Aircobra was so well received despite orders to blame lend lease equipment for propaganda purposes, lol:))

      ​@@TheArklyte Not exactly. Mid war, the most common soviet fighters were the La-5 variants with 2x20mm and yaks with 2x12.7mm hmgs and 1x20mm autocannon.
      Which when compared to the most common fighter of the luftwaffe, the Bf109F/G, which had 2x7.92/13.2mm mg and 1x20/30mm cannon (out of which the 30mm on the late Gs was only really suitable against bombers due to it's poor accuracy and velocity) was actually fairly similar. Definitely not "pathetically light".
      The british Spitfires also weren't too much better off. With the most common mid-war models having 2x20mm cannons and either 4x7.7s or 2x12.7s. And those were wing-mounted which offered lesser accuracy, as opposed to the russian fighter's and bf109's fuselage mounted guns.
      So while not the most well armed, they definitely weren't "pathetically under-armed" .

    1:20 just a VERY handy tip for anyone watching. If you are facing M10/Achilles and struggle to penetrate it from the front for some reason, load up HE round.
    I've tried this with many tanks and if the gun is 75mm or above HE or HEAT round will one shot the tank due to some form of over-pressure likely related to open-top turret.
    This also applies to Wirbelwind and both Ostwinds. I'm not sure about M36.

    AFAIK the back/nape of the neck being beautiful in Japan is related to women usually wearing their hair down, but when wearing a kimono in a traditional style a woman has her hair tied up.

      @@TheIronArmenianakaGIHaigs Well, thing is, the IL-2 is simply a better fighter than the 109. So you were at an advantage.
      Because, trust me, I've played the IL-2 in ground rb a lot, and the thing's op af. It might as well be labeled a fighter. It outturns the 109, outguns the 109 and is armoured to the point where the 109 can barely damage it.
      I'd get it if you were in an actualy ground attacker, like a Pe-3, an A-20, or even a P-47, but not a "ground attacker" that can literally outturn a spitfire.
