We will check if we have any IL-4 references.

Any chance we could get the BETAB-750DS? It would be great to see on the AI aircraft (especially if dispersion/ballistics was included).

For those who don't know these were the Russian equivalent of the Tiny Tim, rocket powered bunker busters used in the Baltic theatre:

The Il-4 is by far the best ballanced bomber (ie. larger bombload than the Il-2 or Pe-2, good defensive coverage for the gunners, decent durability and handling - a real choice pick).

It was not. Tiny Tim was a rocket, which flew in a relatively horizontal trajectory. It's engine was fired during initial part of it's route.

Whilst BETAB DS was a bomb, which used to fall vertically, like any other bomb. It's rocket engine was used to accelerate the bomb on the final part of it's route to target, in order to give it more penetration power. According to some sources, it's velocity upon impact was about 3M.
