One of the Korsun campaign missions if you remember had something similar, using an IL-10 to attack Ju-52's, though they have very little firepower in that mission.
I've been practicing against bombers using fighters and limited ammo, mainly to improve my aim by setting up and maintaining weave attacks. I've used IL-2's for a few of them though it's not quite fast enough to stay ahead of them with an up/down weave.
What I hate about fighting bombers in training is they don't act like bombers, they turn and attack you. Makes it much harder to get at them from the side or front. Realistically, if a bomber does that, it's failed its mission cause it broke formation and abandoned its target. I hope they fix it.
to make limited ammo training more interesting, if I run out of ammo I go and land before respawning. The bombers actually follow and drop bombs on the runway.
