Ok the IL10 i'll give loadouts etc the best i can....

2x50Kg bombs
2x50Kg bombs, 4 RS-82 (?) unsure about this one
2x50Kg bombs, 4 RS-132
2x100Kg bombs
2x100Kg bombs, 4 RS-132
2x100Kg bombs, 4 RS-82

The IL10 is basically an upgrade of the IL2/M, it has more manouvrability, more armour, more powerful guns and more speed. The same principals apply to the IL10 that are with the IL2. its sluggish in a turn compared to the more nimble fighters, but if your on its 6 then your asking for trouble due to the rear gunner. If your in its 12 then your also in trouble. Like the IL2 its best to avoid this one if you can, if you need to engage the try (not easy) to strafe across the wings or the easier approach of attacking from below. Be prepared to use up alot of ammo though as this is a tough bird to bring down.

IF you have someone on your 6, then always try to keep him above you where your rear guuner can get a few rounds off, if your near the ground then hug it, making it impossible for him to attack you from below.

Quick training mission - level flight at low level (1000ft) i can push 230MPH in the IL2/M and keep it at that speed. the IL10 i can push 250MPH in level fight at 1000ft.

This starts from level flight and then WEP eneabled for roughly 15/20 seconds for both the IL2/M and the IL10.

Higher or lower altitude they made do better/worse.

I didnt try the WEP or top speed for much longer because in a dogfight 15/20 seconds is a long time for flying in a straight line. You need any more help let me know.

Also - both planes were using guns only in this test, no bombs/rockets

Thanks! Nice description of the IL-10, and thanks for the loadouts. IL-10 is added to the guide.

Seraph, did you realize that you have the Il-10 in both Bomber, and Fighter sections!? Just wondering if you noticed.

Yup. Same with IL-2, because people might wonder how it works as a bomber or as a fighter, so I figured I could put it in both sections. Same with the IL-10, although there's not a lot of new info in those descriptions. It's basically: see IL-2 and add armor/armament/speed/manouvreability.
