PTAB and Sturmoviks
The only Sturmoviks capable of carrying PTAB bombs are on the Type 3 and IL-2M3. These two types were built in late 1943 (at the earliest).
I'm in the process of making a campaign about the Kursk battle and in my readings I have found that the PTAB was first used at Kursk in July 1943. In my understanding, the only Sturmovik type savailable at that time were the single-seaters and the IL-2M-Early. The IL-2M-Late came out in August 1943, I believe, and this is the type that I'm using for the campaign (I know, but I'm only fudging it for just a couple months). So, I believe that the PTAB should be included on the IL-2Ms, Early and Late types. This would make PTAB-carrying Sturmoviks available for the Kursk time period. As of right now, I'd have to substitute a Type 3 in order to carry the PTAB.

It seems to me that IL-2 classification suggested by Oleg's team was rather confusing.
If I'm not mistaken, we have in stock game the following: - 3 series of "1941" and field mod. - Type 3 and Type 3M. - M "early" and M "late". - NS-37 equipped type. (not including T and I). But when I look into historical sources I see no such names as "Type 3", "1941 serie X". I can find IL-2M and IL-2M3, but not M "early/late", etc. And total number of modifications was probably less than we have in the game, if we ignore experimental ones.

Quote:
IL-2 type 3 = IL-2_3 IL-2 with NS-37mm guns = IL-2_3M Dimlee, I believe the difference between the IL-2M Early & Late models is that the latter has metal wings and the former has wooden wings.
