Along these lines, since when did an I-153 dominate 109s and 190s? According to this game, the Russians needed nothing more than IL-2s and 153s to rule the world.

Well, I'm sure during WW2 that they were all playing on Simulator instead of Arcade. Take a 153 to Sim and tell me how many 109's you shoot down before you make the mistake of pointing your plane at the ground and losing your engine.
Ahem.
As for your claims of the IL series being 'useless' in strike, I find the IL-10 is very useful for chasing down the slower bombers. It has enough armor to stay on the tail if it has to, and coming in high is a death sentence to anything below me. If my cannons don't shred their exposed wings, one of four rockets will. The bombs on the '10 are laughable, yes. But it can serve a nice anti bomber role if you know how to fly it.
Also, it's pretty.
