Irl it was worse but some of the reasons it was worse might no be reflected in game

I’ll take it, but in a future it would be nice to give a bp plane to China
Was the IL-8 really not able to carry rockets? - it seems like a very odd decision.

Shoulda been the Il-20 Gorbach. Har-har-har.

The most ugly and disgusting thing the Soviets have produced. We have to have it in the game.

What was the Rook’s competitor?
Il-102 ilyushin really fell off after ww2
Is that supposed to be a rear gunner or just an observer window at the back?
Rear gunner it had a dual 23mm turret
I would rather a grandfather of IL-102, the IL-40P

Play tu-2s for that experience
IL-8 is not a clone or C&P. Compared to IL-2, there are almost no matching vertices, and it seems that most of this 3D model was newly created.

Yes, if you read the post that you replied to, I mention that it’s a different airplane. The Il-8 is about 10% larger than the Il-2, hence my comment that it was put in the copy machine at 110%.

Better; finally, an IL with 500 kg bombs!
will it survive naval long enough to deliver bombs? i guess not… :/
As much as any a/c.
Used it in the test fly for a couple of air arcade games - tbh having no rockets is quite a drawback - the 500kg bombs are not particularly useful there unless you are base bombing.
As A GRB only player who only flies CAS, going from 2 x 250Ibs to 2 x 500 at 3BR is a massive for me. I’ll be going for that. Been a long time since BP interested me.

I have supposedly unlocked the Il-8, yet I can not find it among my vehicles. Is this a MacOS problem? I have restarted the game with still no effect.
Am I going mad? (NB: The answer to that is yes, but I don’ see this as a symptom.)
Take care,

NVM. I switched to UK Ground and it showed up in my inventory.
