I don't know if it was in real life, but it seems like IL-10's armor is weaker than the il-2. And I've got better unlocks for the il-2m. Il-2m also seems to handle better at low speeds, which it needs to in all the online modes.
They're not much in strike, any of them - but if there was a strike mode where you search and destroy tanks instead of bunkers and ships, the il-2 would be invincible. Even the p47's giant bombs wouldn't be able to keep up. If you don't miss, you've got enough armament on an il2 to locate and destroy 4 tanks per sortie.
The main armor of the il-2's was famous for being able to withstand direct hits, the Germans downed them by learning their weak points. The gunner was poorly protected and there were rumors that being a gunner was like a punishment brigade.
They should have made a mode where you have to attack tanks protected by flak guns. Now that the flak works, you'd have to do it right to destroy anything at all.

Very true. Its pretty stupid when you think about it, The plane the game is named after, doesn't have any multiplayer mode that it can do what it was designed for, tank busting.
Also the IL-2M and I-L10 (and all planes with a rear gunner in fact) are completely unfair when being atacked from behind in that the gunners are all SUPERMAN, with their skin being stronger than any steel armour, bullets pinging off their eyeballs as they continue to fire into the engine of the shooting fighter.
