I would like to apologize straight away, but this is a holy war... GA aircraft.

The IL2 was more effective.

Just that I get your argument straight: You take survivours accounts to say what attack plane was the most efficient?

The StuKas were effective while they had air-superiority and against retreating targets, against infrastructure and fortified emplacements. When the IL2 was the best attacker, Germans were already on the run and Russia had the air superiority in most areas.
