And the camo is wrong for them, it shouldve been brown/green top sides, not green/gray. I know why they used one though, just to keep it up with the 109E in the armament stakes.
Yeah, like Foz said, it's been said and noted before. (Not sure you want to dig through all the stuff, but there's been plenty of things said about that and other planes.)

I just figured, that in a flight game like Il-2, you'd think to focus on the major air combat campaigns like Malta. (Plus, I love flying CR.42s and Fiats in '46. They're so fast and maneuverable. )
